What sense does that make? If someone were to switch to a decent gaming PC, which costs quite a bit, if I understand correctly, then they would have to replace their entire collection of games, which again, costs quite a lot. Also, if they have a functioning console that they're happy with, why get a PC? Sure, there's mod support, and the graphics tend to be better, but consoles are still playable, ancient tech aside.
So please, enlighten me as to why getting a PC is a logical spending decision, because I'm not seeing it.

Edited by An Eagle Flying A Blimp: 4/8/2013 8:33:07 PM>Why you may ask: >>PC price: $1040 4 years ago. $240 in upgrades(which came with $120 worth of games) >>>Average price payed for games: $40 >>Xbox 360 - Initial price $300(2005). 4 consoles later... around $1000. >>>Xbox live - about $55 a year. >>>Average game: $60 Alright, so I had my xbox a bit longer than my PC. But going from with the time period from which I got my PC I spent $600 on consoles, $220 on live, and $100 on that thing known as kinect. Also theres the monstrous amount of controllers I've gone through. Now I spent $1280 on my PC/keeping it alive with accessories. So technically with just these factors PC has cost me more money. Now lets factor in the fact that I WOULD HAVE NEEDED TO BUY ONE ANYWAY FOR SCHOOL. Lets subtract that from the PC price, and suddenly PC seems slightly better. And xbox will soon charge me more for online service. Anyway, thats a glimpse into my somewhat broken logic.
