Nvidia: “the PC platform is far superior to any console”

4.6
Nvidia’s consumer sales manager Matt Wright has stressed that PC is the gaming platform of choice, and that its functionality makes it “far superior” to consoles. He recognises that some staunch console players may need some extra convincing however.

It follows the UK and European PS4 launch.

Speaking with MCV, Wright said, “We are proposing small form-factor PCs to be a viable alternative to the next-gen consoles. Enthusiast players want the ultimate games system and that is the PC. The PC platform is far superior to any console when it comes to gaming, plus you get all the extra functionality that a computer brings.”

He added that from the outside looking in, PC gaming may appear more complex and technical to the layman, but stressed, “We want to make PC gaming as simple as possible and we think that it already becoming much more relevant and appealing to casual gamers,”

Steam also helps. “Steam now has more users than Xbox Live,” Wright concluded. “There is a whole new generation who grew up playing on PC with titles like Minecraft or World of Tanks. There’s a huge community who love playing their games on PC.”

What’s your take? Are PS4 and Xbox One already obsolete? Is PC the way forward? Let us know what you think below.

Kex I think Nvidia is right with this one


I agree with you there. I find Nvidia to be correct.


Well by fact they are pretty much correct. In terms of specifications and freedom PC wins over any console

Well obviously, I bet if Microsoft made an Xbox that cost $1000, it would easily compete with PC's, and look like an ultra brick.

Scared_of_Water I don't need extra convincing, I just don't give a ****. Something PC players need to get, I'm well aware PC looks better I just don't care.


well said there's just no atmosphere with pc


Atmosphere? try 3x 3D monitors with surround sound.


yeah and then compare the price of all that to the price of a simple ps4 or xbone.


You can pay the same amount that you do for a console on a PC and still get better performance.


yeah maybe but not with 3 monitors and all that stuff. and i know for a fact that a 400 dollar pc cant do as much as the ps4 ( gaming Wise )


I know for a fact they can.
You don't have to have 3 monitors for a gaming PC, lmfao.

A $400 gaming PC can do twice of what a PS4 can do.

okay as a PC gamer we can do a lot with $400 but i find it hard to believe we can beat the next gen consoles in terms of performance, but we can however make use of mod support hordes of great deals like the incoming steam winter sale. Next running 3x monitors is generally really pricy for gaming as you dont want to get cheapo monitors and if u plan on gaming on them your going to want to have a pretty decent card such as a AMD 7950/R9 280x or nvidia with there 670/770 area

lilrichard22 Saying things like that is what gives me little to no respect for PC gaming community. Yeah, they're better, but they're douche bags about it.


So stating facts make them a douche bag?


They call themselves the 'master race' and refer to console gamers as 'peasants'. I think that's enough to make them douche bags


What they're saying is true though, the PC platform is superior in many ways to console.


Yes, but you can't deny that doing this is simply adding insult to injury. The term 'Master race' is pretty much them putting themselves on a pedestal just because they have the superior platform, and through calling console gamers peasants (obviously being used in a derogatory context) they are just being assholes. There is a large difference between stating the facts and being douches about them.
