How often do you tend to upgrade? And where do you start with upgrades? I built my own PC about 4 years ago, and haven't upgraded anything since because I really don't know where to start. There's just so many individual components that could use an update to make the computer better on the whole.
. Besides that I spend a lot of time on my beloved computer for other daily tasks some very important ones, and not having to change platforms to get it all done is convenient for me.
Since consoles get some upgrades more often, I stopped buying consoles and decided to stick with the PC. When you need upgrades, just take some parts and replace them unlike when you have consoles, you will need to buy the whole thing which is really expensive.
Not only that, but it seems like consoles are less and less often able to backtrack and play games from previous console versions. That was one of the things that turned me off from the Playstation line, as I didn't want to have to reinvest money in the exact same games I'd already purchased, but for the newer console. My Steam games are still playable even after 7+ years.
This is one of the biggest disadvantages of technology advancements. New is being introduced at a very fast rate. This high speed is leaving the old far behind. Once the console is replaced by one or more upgraded version it is really hard to keep the older one working. Moreover in case of any damage, repair requiring old spare parts becomes a big question.
I think I have faced financial meltdown and so I can't afford to play the games on console now. These days moving away from console as much as possible to save the money. I think PC based gaming can be cheap on indie projects level. But I have found that some games on console are worth playing with it.
Yeah... Most of the games that are available today are for the consoles. Manufacturers are concentrating more on developing games for the latest modern age consoles. It is sad to say that they are leaving the PC gaming a bit afar.
