The trouble is this: if you've amassed a library either on PC or a console, jumping to one or the other can be a very expensive proposition.

[@angeldeschain0]

I built my pc more than 12 years ago. I love these type of videos, they remind me of those amazing times.

[@fibonacciitv2402]

amazing video I've been looking for a comparison like this!

[@mikem2253]

Series X is a great console for what it is. For the price, you can have 120fps games and an entry to GamePass. I sold mine for PC (7900xt) but if I was on a budget, Series X (or PS5 which I still have) is amazing. Also, note that console removes most cheating as you can shut crossplay to PC. However, a AM4 5600/6700xt build can be had for a little more than the consoles nowadays.

[@ClaireMma]

Yeah I mean pc parts have shot in price and every year games seem to be getting harder to run on lower end components to upgrade my system to true 4k it would cost me over £1k where as the series x plays games at 4k for under £500 which makes alot of sense for people like me who don't have money for highend gear

Get both and have the best of both worlds. Xbox for its simplicity and controller. PC for gaming with better graphics 'rawr power', do your homework/work, printing, etc. PC lets you do much more than PS5 and Xbox. But consoles offer simplicity at a cheaper price.

[@Roll_the_Bones]

For many who fear the complexity, and potentially confusing nature of a Windows PC, buying an Xbox means they can still easily game at a good level, and for a lower price. But for anyone with the knowledge and ability to manage a PC, especially if you can build your own, it's flexibility in covering office, browsing, and editing functions, etc, plus upgradeability, more than makes up for any amount of additional costs.

[@starshipupdates5217]

there is defo a huge benefit to using an xbox especially in 2023 where most people just wanna come home and play a game. things like gamepass although available on pc, is a great addition to console, along with its ease of use. You dont have to worry about fan curves, or graphics settings. you should just be able to pick up a controller and play. on the other hand, pc is great if you want a choice. a lot of things werent covered in this video such as game emulation, choice of games (pc only games, PS games and xbox games in 1 place) the option of using any controller you like on pc such as xbox or ps controller or a keyboard and mouse. also creative applications are only available on pc and if you want an ultrawide gaming monitor, you need a pc. pc is defo for the more hardcore gamer or creative professional due to the large variety of simulation hardware such as racing wheels, flight joy sticks and virtual reality headsets to pick from.

[@lennycent]

Given that the PC costs 3x times more than the Series X I would say getting a Series X is a much better deal.

[@Humpypants]

keyword "that" pc costs more. but building your own, you can easily get better performance, longevity, and it'll end up costing you less.

[@elindil2]

Not really. People on average replace their GPU every 5 years. Thus the cost is still higher, while historically, console start to look better and better when game producers begin to use more of its power. Console is still the way to go for pure gaming in modern times because of the cost, plus it also has virtually hardly any cheat hacks you have to deal with in fps games etc. Plus things like twitch have been put in put in as a native platform as well@@Humpypants

[@Humpypants]

@@elindil2 people who choose to replace gpus do it because they can. There are people still playing modern games on the 1000 nvidia series. That means skipping both the ps4 and ps5 and about 7 years of online fees. Pc is cheaper if you build it for future proofing.

[@roobloo4119]

You can get a PC faster than a Series X for like $700 lol.

[@janeinarandersen4933]

Great take, but it's kind of weird to compare a console to such a high end pc (price wise, and power) For the price, the xbox is amazing, also taking into consideration gamepass. personally I got a okay-ish laptop from 2 years ago with a rtx 3060 and a ryzen 7, it runs most of the games i play on high, my series x runs what I like there, playstation 5 because of god of war and my switch due to pokemon, everything has it's ups, and downs. But I prefer to see the positive in em, they all work in their own way, for different types of games.

Used to be console, now PC gaming. I find it easier. I'm not very good with those controllers. You used to have 4 buttons or something and that was easy to play with, now you have many buttons, many combinations to remember, etc... Also, many games only work with the 2 bats, I can't play well with that. PC gaming is great but as with everything it is an expensive hobby, you have to have a decent PC and that costs money. (my opinion). My PC costs 2645 euros. I used to buy 1 of 1200, that was really not good, I want to play games on the max settings, you also need enough vram and not just the ram. And that thing made a lot of noise too. Now my PC is very very quiet. What a difference.

The combination of turning down the resolution to achieve higher frame rates in multiplayer and owning a 4K TV that supports HDMI 2.1 is why my gaming monitor is 1440p and not 4K. But if you didn't have a TV to use for 4K, that monitor is a great balance.

I've always bounced between the two throughout the years, console, then a PC, then back to console, then back to PC. Mainly due to life circumstances; money, travelling, living situation etc, etc. Hands down I would always choose PC if the option is possible, yes it's expensive and requires more configuration (which I actually love, as I love choosing my own preferences, choosing between image quality vs framerate etc) but to me it is the ultimate gaming experience. A couple of things I'm surprised you didn't mention though is mod support and the use of ReShade on PC???

Since I got with the current gen I started a gaming channel however and that's where the Xbox Series X really gets frustrating. Capturing footage and transferring to my laptop is a pain. Only being able to record up to an hour at a time if you have a usb drive plugged in, or if not just 1 min at 1080p for game clips takes extra effort to plan and put together for videos. Now I'm starting to want to try mods for various games too so I'm actually researching what gaming PC to purchase or try and build right now as I finally have the budget! I love my Series X but I have a feeling once I get that PC it's gonna just mostly collect dust or maybe even get sold.

My son has just built his first PC, his GPU cost more than my Series X. He plays on a 27” monitor, my Xbox is plugged into my 55” 1080p tv in my bedroom, and that is the main difference between the 2. Most people who own a console are regarded as ‘casual’ gamers with their consoles plugged into their tvs, and are happy with the ease of use, and are great fun with a few mates playing FIFA, CoD etc….., and most are not really bothered with the most cutting edge visuals, frame rate and so on, they just want a great looking game, (and my Xbox does that,) and a laugh. Pc gamers are more involved with the game, wanting the hardware to be pushed to its limits and want the very best experience from their Pc, with the frame rates, visuals etc.., but I feel if this is be achieved, it comes at a very expensive price! Most decent PCs cost well over a £1,000, and then the monitor is more as well. For a PC that runs as good as the Series X, PS5, in all reality going to cost up to 3x the price, if not more!

“4K” and “120Hz” are just marketing buzzwords on console. You as the user do not get to choose those settings or make any real tweaks aside from a “performance” or “quality” toggle. The consoles are not powerful enough for real 4K or 120Hz output in anything remotely demanding.

The closest PC GPU to the Xbox series X GPU is the AMD Radeon RX 6700/XT. both use RDNA 2.0, TSMC 7nm. RX6700 has 11.29 TFLOPS and RX6700XT has 13.21 TFLOPS, series X has 12.15 TFLOPs. RX6700/XT has 12 GB GDDR6 has series X has 16 GB.

[@caelanb1711]

That's not actually completely true about the Series X's VRAM. The Series X's GPU's video memory itself is 10GB, whereas the other 6GB is mostly used for other stuff like the system and operating system usage. The 12GB for the 6700 XT on the other hand is all dedicated to the video memory, so it technically has more VRAM in terms of video memory that's actually allocated for textures and graphics.

[@StickyGeko]

Stupid question...ive had the series x since day1 and a good 4k 120hz monitor and play all games with fps counter on. Warzone 4k 120hz solid. I get even if the console is set to 4k 120 that not all games run at that...f1 23 quality mode is i think 60fps, performance mode pushes up the frames and lowers the gfx. Now recently been looking to move to pc, something like an i5/4060ti/1gb ssd/32gb for around £1000. Im not really going to be able to play 4k 120hz right... like i set it to on xbox, but will 1440p look and feel better than the series x?

What exactly is the definition of a gamjng pc? Is it just a PC with graphics card?

[@SolidSnacking97]

A key factor that console has over pc is game optimization and price to fulfillment ratio. Any game releasing on both console and pc will always prioritize it’s largest target market which would be console and upper mid-lower spec pcs but even more so console. Thing is is that there’s only two consoles to optimize a game for which is significantly easier and less resources/time consuming than the countless different types of pcs. Buying a high end pc is like buying a huge walk in closet and not being able to fully utilize it until a decade down the road, but by then the people who buy the most expensive hardware will want the next biggest closet once it comes out and the cycle continues. At the end of the day console will always take priority and be more optimized because that’s where the money is.

[@Denbot.Gaming]

It's not optimisation... They just set it all to low and cap the FPS... With PC you have to figure out what your happy with 250 FPS low settings or 60-120fps ultra high settings... Console you get 30 FPS low settings or 60 FPS lower settings or 120 FPS ultra low settings super upscaled from 480p to 4k No thank you

[@Tubehauge]

@@Denbot.Gamingno, starfield is smoother on x than pc. many such examples

[@Denbot.Gaming]

@@Tubehauge it's locked at 30 FPS.... 30... Not to mention graphics and effects are dialed back, you can run the equivalent settings on PC just fine, but generally PC gamers want it to look good and run at 60 FPS or higher, I'm runwthe game just fine mostly at 120FPS, in the city its dips to 70FPS all max settings and no upscalling

[@fboost]

​@Denbot.Gaming watch some digital foundry videos. Most series x and ps5 settings are mid to high, high being the most common but they also have custom in between settings that pc doesn't have. Settings is only half the story though as mentioned above its optimisation. I'll give you a prime example. Jedi survivor. I own this game on pc and xbox. My pc has a 13900k and rtx4090 and the game runs and looks like shit on pc. Regular traversal stutter, a backed in stutter on running animation, lack of definition on textures and for the first few months after release Regular crashes. I finished the game but dealt with 12 crashes while doing so. On xbox there is no crashes and very little traversal stutter. The textures also looked awful until the most recent patch. So no matter how powerful your pc is, can't really get better for gaming then mine some games still run like crap compared to console. There have been several other games this year that have had similar issues.

[@Denbot.Gaming]

@@fboost yeah I remember when they said black ops was a solid 60 on console, setting were lower than low on that as well. Its all upscaled, it can look ok but nothing beats native resolution or super resolution, that's were your using a 2k screen but rendering at 4k for example, that would give much better image quality

If you got a entry level system Ryzen 5500 or intel 12100 plus a 6600/6600XT you could get a system built that would outperform a PS5 for about the same price in the UK. Ive tried installing SteamOS on my PC for a console style couch gaming system. It works OK with with a monitor but isnt great for TV at 4k 60Hz due to the linux display server the OS uses - So I use linux (Manjaro) for the weaker system (plays at 4k 60 with upscaling) for couch and casual and a desktop system for AAA and FPS games on Windows. You can do the console set up with a PC if you follow some tutorials and/or know how to install linux, but I wouldnt do it for a 4k TV. Xbox/PS5 would work easier IMO.

[@CliffArmijo]

Being a PC gamer, I obviously would never wanna switch back to a console considering I have a more high end build these days, and I wouldn't wanna compromise on the FPS ever agian. But that being said, I think Xbox and Playstation have some amazing flagship consoles that you can't beat for the price. So much performance for just a few hundred dollars. But one of the arguments I don't ever agree with from console players is about the user experience being more complicated when having extra settings. I get if you don't wanna go into the graphical settings and change everything because you just wanna plug and play. That is totally fine. But simply having the option doesn't complicate anything. You can leave everything at default if you wanted to and never have to touch anything. But it's there if you ever wanna get some more frames and better image quality. It's basically the same argument that Apple users use against Android. Having options doesn't mean complexity. It's the reason why I have stuck with PC for 8 years now. There just isn't a console that can compete with high end PC systems when it comes to performance, options on hardware, upgradability, aestetic, etc. Also being able to take apart your system and clean it so it doesn't start running super hot from the dust and die faster is great, along with all the different peripherals that can be bought for PC. Having your games, browser, editing software, media center, pictures, videos, documents all in one machine is something you can't compare with consoles. Also being able to upgrade components are you need for games is just something console players can never experience. You are just having to wait on the manufacturer for the next gen of consoles before you can see any improvements in FPS or performance in general. Being locked to 30fps for some 4k games is just something I couldn't compromise anymore with being used to running games at over 144hz in 4k for so long now. If you are on a budget, I would definitely tell someone to buy ones of the consoles for sure. It just is a great value for what you are getting. But if you have a good amount of money to spend on gaming, PC is just the way to go for all the reasons I stated. You can use controllers for most games on PC if you don't wanna learn keyboard and mouse for your games. So at that point, there just isn't an argument anymore.
