4. It's Cheaper
It is a common misconception that PC gaming is expensive. Sure, building your 'rig' will incur some hefty cost, and probably more than the price of the new PS4. But when your hardware is put together, you can pick the games up so much more cheaper than the console market. Firstly, you don't have Sony and Microsoft looking for a bite of your wallet, you can buy the games yourself in a shop much cheaper than the console counterparts. Alternatively, you have unlimited download options thanks to your PC's functionality. Compare this to Sony, where you have the one download option over the Playstation Network; an expensive and limited catalogue at best. The PC in contrast opens up a whole world of downloads, the scope is unlimited and the prices are usually cheap. Of course, the PC allows gamers not to pay for games at all, the pirate market being a major problem. That is bad for the gaming market but it is a fact that it happens, and PC gamers end up spending way less than console owners.
