    Default PC vs PS4

    I've got a PS4 at the minute which I don't use a great deal and I've been offered a straight swap for a decent gaming PC. What are the benefits of PC gaming over a PS4? I like the ease of use of a PS4 and prefer lounging on the sofa whilst I play. Is that something you can do with a PC or do you need a mouse / keyboard to get the most from it? Also, can you still 'acquire' games for the PC and patch them?

    Thanks

    Cheaper games, better gfx (assuming descent card), and other basic pc offerings.

    Unless you are a hardcore console user, a pc is probably better as you can get pc xbox controllers which let you play the games the same way.

    You would be better off posting up the Spec as you don't sound that certain.

    No right or wrong. If you don't mind sitting on an office chair in front of the PC you will get a better experience.
    PC's can be upgraded in a couple of days depending on finances. CONSOLES CANNOT.

    If you want to sit in your pants with a bowl on peanut M&M's next to you then a console is preferable.

    I prefer both options depending on the mood and if the Mrs is watching shit on the TV ?!?!

    Fixed that for you

    Had a shitload of top end pc's and got fed up with switching parts out / upgrading

    I also gave up on PC gaming years ago, gaming on the Xbox is just too convenient and party allows a group of us to go on and have a laugh together.
