Comment Once upon a time... (Score 1) 47
There was a time where a computer 286 cannot keep up with a Sega Master System or NES graphics and sound. Most games of such platforms were far superior than contemporary computers games, 386 (sometimes even a 486) with a few exceptions (Doom) cannot even lick the boots of a Super Nintendo and Sega Genesis/Mega Drive games.
That time has past.
Most games today are available for both computers and consoles. Plus, emulated games made a computer a better alternative over consoles most of the time, for me at least.
Yes, a console is cheaper than a PC for the same specs in the start. 10 games bought later, and you will be paying double the price of the console.
