It's a wolf v2.0
I answered a question that clearly had one correct answer.
The fact that a hypothetical PC build could run a game I have zero interest in playing better doesn't matter to me, especially when 90% of my favorite games are developed for consoles. Different platforms are going to appeal to different tastes, but apparently that doesn't matter. The car with the highest horsepower is always the best option, after all.
Nothing exists in a vacuum. Can we stop pretending that there's objective truths in matters of personal taste? If you prefer PC gaming, fine, good for you. The gate-keeping and smug sense of superiority is not necessary to validate your enjoyment.
The thread was asking which one was better, not which one meets our personal preferences. You can weigh the pro's and cons and try to pick a winner while still understanding that some peoples personal preferences will outweigh make one side the better pick regardless. And while I'm sure you'll come across plenty of dicks about this online this thread's been perfectly civil, no one's doing that here.
I mean if you want to talk about being elitist, I would fall into the 'PC' gamer for budgetary reasons in that I can't afford console gaming. Last game console I bought was the Nintendo Wii, then I started playing ice hockey and just never had the extra money for a newer console and their expensive games. Because a PC is multipurpose, I build one that will last me for a long time then partake in bargain game purchasing. I just built a new PC in December so I have a lot to get caught up on, but prior to that I was using a 10 year old machine that topped out at Skyrim or FFXIII, or small maps in Civ VI.
So there, console's are just too elite for me.
