I must admit that was back in November 2013, before the consoles came out, but the difference now is the new consoles aren't as good as everyone hoped.
A part of me is glad that the new consoles are losing ground, just to give the PC a bit of a boost they need. But I'm also disappointed at the same time.
Because of the new consoles not being up to scratch I decided to get a newer PC, ok it cost a lot more but that's besides the point. My PC isn't just about gaming, but I have the option now and it's great at everything else I want to throw at it. So for me the PC is incomparable to a console and will always will be.
If you've played Watch Dogs with a 7800 card, maybe you should get a better card or PC to see the difference then report back. As for using consoles on your big screen, well TV out and using an AV takes care of all that for me, I ain't tied down to my monitor at all for PC gaming. What I don't understand is why someone has got Watch Dogs on the PC and on the PS4 if there's nothing different between them. So that begs the question of either did you buy both versions or did you download one. But again that is another point in where PC will rule, people do download whatever there is and don't need to fork out £50 for a game which is a whole different topic altogether.
PC's have taken a hit, not because of console but more from tablets, gaming will always (if you can afford it) be better on a PC, consoles do have their place too but something has gone downhill for them as I can't see the XB1 lasting 5 years as it stands.
I say there is life in the desktop PC yet. But the same goes that if you buy a desktop PC from the high street, you probably won't be expecting to run the latest games on high let alone ultra settings, so for some paying out for a desktop could be seen as a waste of money compared to a console. But pay out a bit more and there is no compassion at all.
