I am so glad that consoles can now give this performance for so little money. It puts strain on the pc manufacturers to give better quality parts for the same price and pushes innovation

[@HeartInLight]

Yeah...well nvidia just doesnt care. Their prices have literally doubled in like 8 years. Which is exactly why i switched to console gaming. No need for freesync, or gsync, or vsync, faster load times despite me having a good ssd on my pc. Better image quality. Not infested with hackers in cod. Its just a better experience now. PC used to have all the advantages in performance. Nowadays, it gets crapped on for the price/performance metric. Like its not even close. I have a 450 dollar gpu i bought 6 months before the series x released. And the series x is more powerful. And thats 1 part of the pc...pc gaming is just not it anymore unless you got hella money for a 4k 120hz freesync/gsync tv/monitor, plus the pc itself. Its ridiculous.

I guess I haven’t confirmed it for myself since I’m not invested into the consoles much anymore, but don’t companies typically sell their consoles for virtually no profit and make up for it with games and exclusives? PC on the other hand, every part of it has to include profit for the manufacturers and intermediaries. Not to mention trade-offs of not having a pc and long term costs of consoles such has lack of upgradability and paying for features like Xbox live.

ya literally your a slave to the company with console Like on Pc if a game is exclusive to one engine you have options to all engines on pc so you can get the game no matter what. Plus if we add up to play online $60 a year plus on average 7 years till next console that's an extra $420 your spending in those 7 years so that pc would of payed off and you could still upgrade for cheaper then that. So Pc always ends up paying for itself in the end.

@Arnab If you don't play online and you buy your games used or get the discs from a friend for free, consoles can actually be alot cheaper. Also, most people don't have $1500 to drop all at once on an average gaming pc. It's alot easier to spend a few hundred $s on a console even if you end up spending more on games down the line. And, if you have physical copies you can sell those games and get some money back.

[@whoopdeedo83]

@Arnab You have to buy games for PC also. Unless you are pirating but limitations come with that. Right now building an "okay" gaming pc is going to cost 3x as much as a console. With the various game passes available on Xbox you could have access to a rather large library for maybe $30 a month. You could even buy a new $60 game every month for a year and still have spent 100's less than the PC's initial build cost. I'm a PC gamer but if I didn't already have a PC and was on a budget I'd definitely buy an Xbox instead.

Linus didn't bother to factor in the price of paying to play online. If you consider the lifespan of the Xbox One, which was 7yrs, and it costs $60 per year to play online, 7x60=420 so now we add that 420+500=920. For $920 you can absolutely buy all brand new parts, and get a PC that is far better graphically and FPS wise than either of the current consoles.

[@TUBEDUKE87]

I think it is easier for the console manufacturer because they buy much more of the same components. So they get better prices and can sell it cheaper...as for PCs you got so many different components and building possibilities. It is just a different sales modell. If you had just one PC produced in mass for several years until the next modell is rleased i think you could get it for the same price.

[@G1NZOU]

@@TUBEDUKE87 Yeah economy of scale and all that. That's one reason the Raspberry Pi is so cheap, made in bulk to a single spec with soldered components and not lots of different models assembled out of a variety of CPU, GPU and RAM options or case options. Do one model or even only a few models and you can really simplify your production line and cut costs.

[@StormRaid417]

The cost of upgrading to a next gen console later down the road is by far cheaper than constantly upgrading a PC and the lifespan of a console is way better and the console can handle next gen games very well. The Xbox series s and x was literally built to last another 7 more years of gaming down the road on every game compatible with it with ray tracing capabilities. Another plus is that both Xbox series s and x can run Unreal Engine 5 with no crashes and no fps drops. Great console for Unreal Engine 5 built games in the future. I hate to say it, but Xbox is becoming more capable and more affordable than PC with ever be. I have a PC myself and honestly enjoy the console more especially with the 4k 120hz on a 4k tv. Every game you play on the Xbox feels and looks better and will get even better in the future.

A console is a dedicated gaming device; you'll still need something else (in most cases, a computer) to do your taxes on. Everyone needs some form of computer for work/school/general living anyway, so that should be considered in the system cost as well. We should consider home electronics as an ecosystem in order to see what configuration and combination of options gives the best value to summarily be able to do everything you need to do in your life. What *_is_* a dedicated gaming device in PC-centric ecosystems is the discrete Graphics Card, not the whole PC. So we should instead compare the gaming and general-use performance of a 500$ office PC + 500$ console combo VS 500$ upgradeable PC with 500$ graphics card combo; *_then_* it'll be a fair comparison. You buy a 500$ console specifically for gaming, like you buy a 500$ GPU specifically for gaming; those are the two dedicated gaming purchases that are comparable here. The rest of the PC is not very relevant in this comparison because most people are going to have some sort of computer anyway; so that computer might as well be a desktop PC if they're smart about their life choices and plan out their home electronics ecosystem in advance.

There had to be at least three distinct PS4s for instance, with five versions altogether. The "Pro" version being something that enthusiasts would upgrade from a regular PS4 over. So it's not really a true 5 - 7 year gap. Same goes for the Xbox. There are already two PS5s and while there's not a huge difference between them, I could see people buying the digital version for a bit cheaper or because of availability issues then purchasing the other version later. I'm 100% sure there will be an updated PS5 in a year or two with better hardware, a "pro" version or whatever. So it's really closer to two years at this point, not 5 - 7.

@baz watts If you buy from a mistrusted vendor that can probably happen. But I've never bought from any seller with less than 95% reviews, most of them, and never had anything that wasn't advertised. Also, read the buyer's reviews. They tell us when something is wrong.

This didn't age well, now all the PC games are so poorly optimized I'd rather play them on the PS5. The last of us 1 remake, which looks and runs amazingly on PS5 but on a PC with Ryzen 5 5800x 32 gigs of Trident Z and a 3070ti, runs like dog squeeze. Same thing for that Wizard game. Do the challenge again but use some modern games that are more demanding than old-ass Doom Eternal.

It’s okay, Linus has lost his sense of budget since he get sponsors to make a 5000$ PC with 3090 SLI trying to run 8k 60fps which probably no one whose watched this video can even get, even his budget builds are over priced, what’s sad is that most tech reviewers forget that not everyone lives in the US or other first world countries and many can get by gaming with cheaper cards such as for example a 980ti or integrated graphics

What I knew before and after viewing this: The Series X is a bargain for the power of the system. Just got mine and can’t wait for the backwards compat software and even games like Halo Infinite or Hellblade 2. Included with Game Pass nonetheless

[@stevenpineda2863]

For real!!! Can you imagine how good games will look when they actually use the full power of the system!!

[@stevenpineda2863]

@Bob a pc will outmatch the series x or any console for that matter anytime but trying to build a pc with all the hardware inside the series x with ray tracing it’s I’m possible

[@NuggetsXInfinite]

I'm pretty sure Infinite is a cross purchase game. I'm excited to try it on my Series X paired with a CX, and also with my 6700xt build paired with a 1440p monitor. I already got a feeling that campaign will be better on the first setup and multiplayer better on the later setup

[@smittyvanjagermanjenson182]

@@stevenpineda2863 let's not get carried away. The xbox one x was a 4k machine. The series x is the one x but faster. Graphics look nicer on the older titles with fps boost happening, but not raytracing. Cyberpunk gives you quality 4k ray traced 30fps mode or 1440p 60fps performance mode. That's a big deal when looking to the future of games for the consoles. Raytracing eats frame rates for the trade off of looking better. I'll be amazed if Microsoft can pull off some magic that can balance it, but another 30fps experience on consoles is a huge let down otherwise.

Just recently switched from PC to Xbox I hope i’ll be back to PC someday but I am really disappointed at how things have gone lately with graphics cards and other hardware availability. I was ready, money in hand refreshing the page when the 3080 came out with a huge full ROG build already ready for it, only to have it literally go from not yet available to out of stock immediately on Newegg and Best Buy. I thought about it for quite some time and sold my ROG build for cheap to someone genuinely interested in PC gaming. Got a Series X a few months later at MSRP and I absolutely love it. I realize it’s also hard to find a Series X but it’s nowhere near as difficult to find one at MSRP as it is to find a new graphics card at MSRP. And no I’m not going to enter some lottery to spend money, that’s stupid (looking at you Newegg). I have a 512GB USB full of ROM’s for dev mode RetroArch and Gamepass Ultimate so many great games in reach it’s truly incredible. I can even play some of my Steam games on the Series X via GeForce now in Edge and while GeForce Now is not a fantastic experience so far it’s even more games to play.

[@aritano491]

U sold ur whole rig because you couldn't find one of the top gpus on the market? Why not just buy a worse gpu for the time and wait out the gpu shortage? A pretty decent amount of gpus are better than the series X's and more readily available.

[@yellowdeli]

@@aritano491 Shortages have been going on for quite a while, the current one is just the latest in line and even this one has been pretty long so far. I liked building rigs with newer parts and upgrading them when new things came out that I thought were cool, that was a big part of the hobby for me but the market for PC parts is pretty much just a let down all together now and I decided it’s not worth the trouble anymore.

@@yellowdeli you remind me the good old days... Back in 2015 when I built my pc for the very first time. I bought GTX 980 ti for around $580 from Newegg in Dec 2015. I guess we will never back to the normal. Top-performance PC used to be so affordable.

[@yellowdeli]

@@junweiqiu3510 I miss those days as well, the 980Ti was the first high end card I ever purchased and it was such an awesome experience. That really sparked a passion for building PC’s in fact I loved building them a little more than playing games on them lol. It’s too bad that it’s so cost prohibitive to build a high end PC now :( Hopefully someday the market will stabilize but i’m not holding much hope for that now.

hardly blame you. i bought my rtx 3070 at an inflated price and while i love it it just does not hold a candle to the value propisition these consoles hold, EVER. hell even before the covid inflation the gpu prices for the rtx 2000 series straight up blew. pc building has sucked for a while now.
