[QUOTE="AdenTheThird, post: 10300215, member: 445457"] For reference, I have a powerful PC, a Series X, and an OLED. I understand this argument, because raw power isn't the only factor to consider in the 'betterness' of a PC vs a game console. Just because a PC can output nicer graphics does not make it objectively better. I use my Xbox more than my PC, because I have many more games on it than my PC. Is my PC statistically better? Absolutely. Do I like it better than my Xbox? Well, yes, but that's mostly because I built it myself and I'm quite proud of it. I don't like it over my Xbox because of computing power. That being said, the Series X is a stellar console and I don't feel like I'm "missing out" because my PC could run the same game at 20FPS higher. As for the Switch, I feel like it's severely underpowered, and usually emulate Switch games on my PC instead. After all, I absolutely think BotW deserves to be playable in higher resolution than 1080p, simply because of the scale of the game. But even that's for specific circumstances and not representative of the system as a whole. I like the Switch for it's versatility and ease for playing with friends, etc. TLDR, the "PC is better because it's more powerful" argument is a hasty generalization, and not representative of the different attributes of each console. Power alone does not determine a console's success--I need only to point to the Game Boy, which was outperformed by almost every other portable console in the mid-90's, but still prevailed far over them all.
