Voted for pc - my 3080 already outperforms both machines and next generation of gpus will leave them in dust
As for consoles I'd say it's virtually draw so PS5 wins due to their studios and controller (I got it for pc and even without extra features it's amazing)
For a single component that alone costs 200 quid more than the most expensive versions of these systems I'd bloody well hope it performed better.
I will never understand why people even bother bringing up high end PC's in these comparisons.
Yes, if you pay exorbitantly more for a games machine it will perform better, obviously, but by that logic your PC is shit because you don't have a 3090, and the 3080 ti, 3000 series Titan and eventual 3070 and 3080 Super will leave your 3080 in the dust.
The fact is the performance you get for the amount you pay is unquestionably vastly better value with consoles. You pay a lot more money for relatively little gain with PC, and that is just as big of a factor in working out what is the best platform to play on.
Now, if you can find me a compact, prebuilt PC
including a controller and full OS for
£450 that runs all multiplats better, then I will grant you that PC is undeniably better, but you can't.
Even MS engineers flat out state relative console performance is vastly superior to games running on a PC with the same specs, so for the price, the XSX and PS5 will be better to play games on. A PC that costs four times as much might be better, but it's not delivering 4 times the value.
