Poll Why buy an Xbox when you can get a gaming Rig? (47 votes)

Uneducation 55%
I like inferiority 47%
I feel like I'm inane 36%
Other 64%

I honestly wish that somehow it would be understandable, but it isn't. Why would I possibly play a system where 99% of the games are available on a machine with superior specs, all around. Makes no sense.

idk, maybe they don't want to spend more money for somewhat better graphics/performance (or are we bringing back resolutiongate?).

Maybe they don't want to sit in front of a desk to game (yes you can hook up a pc to the tv, i know, i do it myself)

Maybe they don't like using mouse and keyboard. (yes you can hook up a controller but for multiplayer games, why handicap yourself against people who play with M&K and would regularly stomp on you).

Maybe they don't want to deal with the headaches and troubleshooting that come with constant windows, nvidia, and other updates. (I've had the HDR break in Assassins creed origins on my PC 2 times already because of windows updates not being compatible with the game, took me a day and a half to get it fixed and i lost my enthusiasm to play the game in the process, heck i still have to finish it but im scared to boot it up and find HDR broken again since its been months since i got on the game.)

Ive been having HDR issues with Forza 4 on PC.

Luckily I can now play this on Xbox One X without issue (I hope)

If I already have a non-gaming PC or laptop, an XBox One X would be a cheaper option. Are people really this devoid of common sense?

A better question is: Are you just being a troll or are you really too stupid to understand that some people simply don't enjoy playing games on a PC and therefore it doesn't matter if all games were on PC, there would still be many people that would avoid PC gaming because they don't like the PC gaming experience?

So why is a thread like this allowed to stand when the one about which fanbase is most immature is locked? Because arguing about the fanbases directly is somehow worse than just being dicks in a more roundabout way?

I didn't even post in that thread, so whatever, but that seems pretty odd, no?

Agreed. This kind of dumb thread is much worse than the fanbase thread.

@crimsonllama: I agree. I don’t understand why they’d ban or lock any thread that’s not racist, threatening, or provoking violence. If they’re going to allow a dumb topic like system wars to be discussed, why would they expect civility?

Cost? If every PC game was a shocking port like Odyssey, no one would bother with PC.

I bought an Xbox One S because it’s a cheap 4K Blu Ray player.

Other than the occasional Forza session, the Xbone sucks.

There's a stickied set of rules at the top of the forum, so it shouldn't be a surprise your thread got locked

@Sevenizz: I don't disagree but thats the deal. No rules are being broken with those names. Just do what I do and laugh when you get called the names. If people start calling you other stuff, flagem. Most people are only here for the lulz and to kill time at work.

And the PC is WAY better than the X. The only difference being, you can't play PS4 games natively on PC. If I had the option to play PS4 games on PC, that's where I would play them. That's why I don't ever feel the need to buy an Xbox console.

The initial cost is lower, as with all consoles. As always, increased costs bring increased quality.
