Do you prefer playing video games on consoles, or on computers?
Parts really aren't as expensive as people make them out to be. Just about 600, maybe 700 dollars and you have yourself a gaming PC that surpasses most consoles. No need to invest in any new parts. In fact many gaming computers out there now vastly surpass the Xbox 1 and Playstation 4.Consoles. I prefer investing money to games rather than parts.
And PC gaming with ever presenting Steam sales may eventually die because developers won't want to release something that won't sale for full price.

All that said, I prefer playing games on the PC. Aside from the fact that I feel more comfortable with a Keyboard and mouse there are a lot of advantages to playing games on the Computer. You pay a lot less in the long run because of steam sales and economics. Why pay $20 for Skyrim when I can pay $5 if I buy it off a steam sale? And if a game feels more comfortable with a remote I can always play the game with an Xbox controller. There are a lot of advantages to PC gaming. And that's why I prefer it.
So you just confirmed my point.Also PC gaming will never Die out because "Developers won't want to release something that won't sale for full price." Let me give you a little lesson in economics. When a distributor like steam has competition with other distributors like GOG and Origin, Prices go down. That's one reason that there are so many steam sales. They make a lot of money off those you know.
Steam/GOG/Origin as offerers (?) of developed games obviously get enough money from sales because they don't develop games.
And the devs are the ones that allow for the sales in the first place. They decide when to put them on sale and they set the prices -- it's part of the agreement. Nobody forces their hand.And after they develop it, they immediately need to sell it underpriced? Not sure if developers would love that.
