PC gaming vs console gaming
PC gaming vs console gaming
Which option performs better and why? I own two devices—a PS4 and a Nintendo Switch—and I'm considering selling the Switch to fund a PC build.
For a solid PC setup, consider keeping both PS4 and Switch. Or alternatively, you might sell the PS4 while retaining the Switch.
A Switch stands out in its own way. It might not be the most powerful option, but it's the only platform that can support new Mario, Pokémon, or Zelda titles along with many other franchises Nintendo dominates. If you're into those games, don't go for it. If you're not much of a PlayStation user, you might still find value in it, though it's best suited for the Nintendo ecosystem. You can reach impressive performance by saving up to 1500USD. With careful budgeting, you could reduce other expenses and save around 10USD in about five months. Alternatively, you can wait longer or add cash gifts or gift cards you receive.
I also play console games. Some I like for action and FPS, while others I prefer on my PC for strategy or building games.
a good pc should cost at least 700 dollars, and ideally the switch would be beneficial (ps4 & games).
Alright then AUD. 1500USD would roughly translate to 2100AUD when including taxes and shipping, which could be around 2200-2300AUD. I think it just takes more time, but you have to stick with what you need to do.
Also, I’m dealing with a similar issue in India—INR is much weaker than AUD, and we face a high 18% GST. Imported PC hardware usually costs significantly more here compared to what you’d pay in the US.
