But it won't stop me from getting the Xbox one x. The inclusion of an ultraHD Blue ray drive is a big plus. Although streaming 4K is ok, nothing beats watching a movie on Ultra HD blue ray. I'm still old school and like having my physical copy.
Had to choose PS4 because that is where I will be playing Monster Hunter World until it releases for the PC.
I would just get a PS4 Pro if Dual Universe and Ashes released on that platform.
anything prebuilt will be more expensive and probably not as good as something you made yourself. unless your buying a premade computer with ALL the latest parts. but even then you probably coulda made it and gotten the parts separate for cheaper.
I still play 1995 Total annihilation on my PC.
Why would I have to spend $60 for a game I have already backed via KS?

Assuming I'm any good at building a gaming machine.
Which I haven't done in 15+ years.
Steam has special deals on games all the time and often on popular, recent games. Consoles are hit and miss and require you to go to a store or pay for rental. If we really want to pick this apart, I can show you figures that express just how overpriced console gaming is for the limits they have.
Not to mention, you can always trade parts and upgrade a PC. Unless you're a technical genius with both hardware and software, you can't do the same for console. I've been where you are. I was very much into console gaming for a long time but advances in technology gave PC a huge advantage to console gaming. (I do own PS1 thru PS4, a 3DS and a PSVita) I gave them a chance. They collect dust now except when I feel like being nostalgic with my Baldur's Gate DA1 and Champions: Return to Arms games.
EDIT: @Dygz I get that I wrote in response to you, but I also wrote this to be informative for other readers. Not just you.
Optimal choice is subjective.
Since when do consoles require you to go to a store or pay for rental?
I play on PS4 and PC.
I generally prefer playing on PS4, when games are offered on PS4.
The games I play on PS4 are same price as on Steam or KS.

Im not going to try and argue this further. By all means, enjoy your PS4. I guess I've been poisoned by modding communities.
and by poisoned, I really mean enlightened.
Like I said, I haven't built my own rig in over 15 years, so I dunno about the pricing on that compared to buying a PS4.
Buying a PS4 is just easier and cheaper than buying a pre-built gaming PC.
And I don't have to worry about screwing something up.
PC-wise, I'd prefer to have an all-in-one or something as small as a PS4.
I don't always need to have the highest quality graphics - just enough for the game to play.
If DU and Ashes were playable on PS4 Pro, I would upgrade to Pro.
I don't think they will be, so, I should probably check into building a PC before buying a new one... if it's really cheaper than a PS4.
The better consoles get, the more like PC's they are!
Hmmmm.
I'd still play it on PC (if they did made one) because you can get a vastly more powerful machine for maybe $200 more. Worth it for me, because I don't have to pay the PS+ subscription and Steam usually have cheaper games. I do own a PS4 though for the exclusives games, but I still prefer PC.
I don't have to do so for other games I play, like NMS and Fortnite.
I should have lifetime for Ashes.
PS4 multiplayer is $50 per year.
Which is not too bad if you're buying game time via Early Access packages.
I won't go into the expense my custom built machine cost but it wasn't cheap by any means 3 yrs. ago.
On the other hand I helped my son's friend buy a lap top for around $700 that he was able to play ESO and Rift without any difficulty.
Price is subjective depending on what she think you need. Not everyone needs the high end systems.
TEN
DO
SWIIIIITCH!
10 days... it's back in stock in 10 days...
Splatoon 2 here I come!
I built myself a new PC a week after buying an Xbox one S cos I got sick of its issues.
Unless Xbox one X's are absolutely flawless, stick with PC. Check for issues in reviews first before buying either.
(PS4 pro, not even an option cos all PS controllers feel like shit to hold lol)
PS. DO IT!!!
