PC Vs Gaming Console for Playing Games

Published by dipti, on June 6th, 2011, in the categories: Gaming

PC gaming and console gaming has always been a matter of conflict as to which one offers best gaming experience. The discussion is always between using PCs or consoles like Xbox 360, play station, Nintendo etc. Since console gaming is easy to plug and play as compared to computer gaming, most gamers prefer to go for console gaming. Lets discuss some topics that are related to both computer gaming and console gaming in order to see which one gets better views.





Price: you can buy a computer in price range of console and computer can be used for multi tasking. However, computer will not be able to support high graphics game. So if you can spend few bucks, you should go for console rather than computer in order to get great gaming experience.


Upgradability: In order to upgrade your console, all you have to do is just replace the hard drive and purchase new controllers. In case of computer, if you are not satisfied with current graphics quality, you can change graphic card with a new one. If your game hangs in between, you need to upgrade your CPU and motherboard.


Installation of Game: The best thing with console gaming is that, you don’t need to wait for 30 minutes in order to install game while in case of computer, first of all you have to check all the system requirements and once it get suited then only you can install your favorite but that too is going to take a lot of time.


Ease of use: Console has an advantage as all you have to do is pop in the CD, set your couch and be ready to play your game. In PC there might be some complicated installations in case your drivers are not up to date.


User Interface: In case of PC gaming interfaces are usually a keyboard and mouse combination. This combination is best for shooting and basic level games but for driving, fighting and other sports games, consoles are much better to go for. You can also check game review as which game is better to play on console and computer. If you are going with computer compatible game, you have to carefully read all the hardware requirements before installing game.


Graphics Quality: If we talk about graphics quality, computer offers far better graphics than console. This is because computer graphic cards like GeForce, ATI have got large amount of video ram that helps in getting sharper image in the game and also runs faster. You can change the graphic card whenever you feel like, but in case of console you have to switch to upgrade version that can affect your pocket budget in big way.


Modifications: the great thing about playing games on your computer is that you can make modifications to your game via downloading of patches, add ons or general updates which can possibly fix and enhance the performance of your game. With console systems however, once again you are stuck with what you have. This is probably not such a great factor because if you buy a particular game, any updated available for computer will not change the game in such a big way.


So to conclude the discussion on PC Vs Consoles, the later is definitely a better choice for hard core gamer. Consoles are specially designed to enhance gaming experience. However, PCs have their own cost advantage and usability benefits.
