PC obviously.

You are leaving out the customization and thousands of other things that you can do with a PC that a console can't do.
Browse with ease on a PC. A console? Takes a long time.
Edit the operating system on a PC. A console? Permanently on it. Now I don't doubt you could change it through the hard drive, but it's not an easy task.

A console has many limitations. PCs do not have many. And in terms of those limitations, the PC is cheaper, especially if you can get parts at a decent price.

I wrongly assumed that we were referring to the devices for gaming.

Otherwise it's like comparing the usage of glasses or a hearing aid..

This is very true and I understand where your coming from, but i guess once you have all the stuff required for a PC they are worth while


If you are looking at a budget pc that can run up to date games then you are looking at around £300-£400

Depends really. I mean for example I'm having big issues with fallout 3 right now because of lack of windows 10 support and I believe compatibility issues with my graphic card. The problem is older games and even games considered newish can often struggle with newer software and hardware.

Also 300 - 400 might sound a lot to people but graphics cards can be from 100 upwards just on their own and that's just for a basic one. Built in graphic cards aren't any good for new stuff. You can get basic dedicated cards but they will struggle with newer and future games

I have to go with PC! Can't play Habbo on consoles - as far as I know anyway!

The computer itself can cost around £300-£400, I can see what you are saying though, Graphics Cards can be cheap depending on which one you want. My system cost me around £500


Specs:

AMD A10 7850k 3.8GHz
8GB DDR3 1600MHz
MSI GTX 750ti 2GB


Not the most overkill PC ever but it can run games at higher frame rates than a console for that price

Can cost 2k+ easy.

Definetly, I am not going to disagree with that, because this is true. Specs of a PC can vary on the parts that you want for the games that you want to play, or software that you want to run

The problem is you mentioned modern new games. For example I have a gtx 760. You can get them for around £100 now maybe slightly cheaper but it's an old card and as new games come out it will start to struggle. You can get cards cheap yes, but if you get them cheap, there's no guarantee that the newer games will work. It's one reason a lot of people prefer consoles - if you buy a game in a few years time for your console, you know that your console will support it.

You make a very good point.
In the end, PC will become more expensive with upgrades. But as long as games are produced for the specific console, anyone with said console can run it the same.

I'd go for a laptop/PC anyday. Not a big fan of consoles no matter what you're referring to.
