Is PC gaming cheaper in the long-run when you account for paying for online over a console generation + better sales?

no way bro get the console! I fucking love niggers I mean xbox
Brody Gray
that and being able to get almost any game for free, yeah, and you can lower settings when your hardware struggles
Blake Martinez
Don't forget about paying $60 for every release on console when you can just get them for $0 a week later on PC
Ryan Wood
it's cheaper solely on account of the price(if any lel) of games

I torrent pretty much all my singleplayer games, so I definitely save money on games. Buying games is always more convenient though, I usually buy my games on sale.

OK Lets do a break down.
Lets say a Console generation last 6 years.
A Mainstream PC cost around $850. Just the box with a mainstream Keybaord, Mouse and headset without any bells& Whistles(RGB, Fancy Switchs and more)
You Upgrade again completely in 3 years but save the Case, Peripherals CPU Cooler and Ram. Costing you around $600.
So $1450 in hardware over 6 years
A console is $500 at launch and in 3 years lets say they do a PRO version its another $500 when you buy a new that one.
So $1000 in hardware over 6 years,
Your paying $59.99 a year for XBL so thats $360 over those 6 years
Before we get to games and all it cost $1360 for a Console and around $1450 for a PC

It's even cheaper for the PC if you consider not upgrading the CPU since they tend to last much longer than GPU's.

technically not since xbox series x BTFOs a 1200 dollar GPU
