[OverHeat]

Sold my switch, PS5 and Xbox series x.
Feel a little strange as I have been a console gamer most of my life. Hope I don’t regret my move. Any other Gaf user did the move?

[Knightime_X]

Hell no.
And you're gonna regret your move.

 

[Rykan]

I'd have kept the switch personally.

In my opinion, if you have a very high-end PC, then there really isn't much reason to own a PS5 or an XSX unless you really want to play on a TV. Most games will be available on PC anyway, so you're not really missing out much.

 

[Optimus Lime]

Sure. Why not. This console generation has been absolutely god awful so far, so may as well be on the platform that has Factorio.

 

[ahtlas7]

Do you plan to use emulation?

 

[Icymanipulator]

At least you can use your PC for other productivity purposes.

 

[SlimySnake]

Didn’t buy an xbox this Gen and haven’t missed it at all thanks to day one releases.

Aching to sell my Ps5 but gow is not Day one so will keep it until then.

Should’ve sold my switch in 2017. Haven’t beaten a game on it since.

[OverHeat]

Yeah!

 

[lh032]

im the opposite, i quit PC gaming and stayed on console gaming for a long time now.

 

[yohan12]

I've thought about doing the same, but the few games I do play on PC that I cant on PS5, I always seem to run into some sort of issue, and spend a few minutes to hours trying to fix it. When I just want to boot something up that's been a big deterrent to me making the switch fully.

 

[killatopak]

I personally can't. Lot of my friends still have consoles as their go to.

What's the point to sell your Playstation or even your Switch. Can you play the switch exclusive at your PC ? Yes I guess if you pirate the games.

Edit: Ahh Sorry i want to apologize beforehand i meant "emulation" not pirating.

 

[Nitty_Grimes]

Have fun spending every day tweaking some shit because you should be getting a couple of extra frames per second on that one game and someone on Reddit does so why can’t you.

 

[Fredrik]

Hope I don’t regret my move.

I’d say it’s a risky move to do just before the Ragnarök release. Not your type of game?

 

[nikos]

I game on PC almost exclusively. Sold my Series X because pretty much every exclusive is on PC and I wasn't using it. PS5 is for exclusives and has been mostly collecting dust since release. Still use my Switch a decent amount.

 

[bender]

May your PC never overheat.

 

[Bonfires Down]

Should have kept the Switch unless you just don't care about Nintendo games. Then again, the Switch 2 should be here soon enough.

 

[Valedix]

whats ur setup bro

 

[OverHeat]

11900k with a 3090 ( soon a 4090)

 

[Ribi]

welcome to the future. Now emulate those switch games

 

[kikkis]

I just wish crossplay didn't include mouse and keyboard PC users. Otherwise I don't mind PC players.

Yeah it’s my kind of game but my backlog is huge will wait for the pc version

You took the time to post so you do a little at least

That is pretty white hot to be fair. I was hovering over a Strix 3090 back in Feb when I got my new pc but the prices then were still ridiculously high so ended up with a 3080ti in my build.

 

[Klosshufvud]

11900k with a 3090 ( soon a 4090)

Complete and utter overkill. Who recommened this?

Why the vertical monitor? Bose speakers?

Multi tasking on a small desk lol and no it’s not a Bose speaker it’s a sensor for my valve index

 

[Crayon]

Were they taking up too much room or something?

 

[OverHeat]

Collecting dust…and wanted to fund my soon to be mine 4090 fuck using credit

 

[Kamina]

Seeing as a top end Gaming PC is 3.5k or more, i wouldn’t do the same thing, became too casual with age.
However, i hope you are happy with your decision!

 

[bitbydeath]

Sorry for your loss, I hope you at least bought a Mac.

 

[sertopico]

great time to switch! are you ready to spend 10.000 bucks and give a kidney to jensen?

 

[amigastar]

I'm only PC also this gen and i can't complain. I hope you won't too.

 

[Fart Knight]

 

[Filben]

I play 90% on PC but still like to have a console as backup for shitty PC ports. And I'm not playing Nvidia's recent game of douchebaggery.

Also, the DualSense is amazing and support on PC is pretty weak.

Thats pretty sexy.

Love it perfect size a 38 inch but I would recommend going oled since the black are not great

 

[Majima Everywhere System]

Have fun at your desk, I guess.

It’s not like I don’t have a long hdmi cable going to my TV and a controller

 

[Nickolaidas]

Any other Gaf user did the move?

 

[Boneless]

Bad choice. PC gamers.sometimes mix with the peasants to stay grounded.

Keep a playstation around for early releases like God of War.

I'm planning to sell my PS5 and Series X but I'm too busy to post ads at the moment. I've received 2x 4090 cards (don't ask, I need to return one) + I've bought Steam Deck this week so I'm going PC only. Consoles were collecting dust anyway. And my Series X has been a lamp stand for a while now...

 

[Fredrik]

Wish I could handle waiting. Sony’s delay strategy sucks so incredibly hard tbh, feels like I’m wasting amazing game experiences by playing on PS first, I’m already bored when games come to PC and never end up playing til the end.

 

[Mess]

I have a switch and a PS4 for the kids but only play on PC really. Hard to think of a single reason to own a console unless you want to play with console friends online.

 

[Graciaus]

Plug your PC into your TV. Buy a controller, wireless mouse and wireless keyboard. Select everything with the mouse and use a controller for almost every game. Sit on the couch and your PC is now a console that can play almost every game ever made.
