There's your mistake. If you want a PC for Gaming you should go for a desktop. Laptop's are overpriced trash.HydroFire said:
OT: Probably neither, I am confident in my PC's abilities to keep up with the next generation. I do enjoy the console for some things, for example fifa or something but... It isn't really worth the money to me. Maybe in a few years when the price comes down I might consider making a purchase but.. I have my doubts.
Neither yet.
No offense to those who are, but I never buy a console on launch unless a family member gets it for me because to me, buying a console at launch is just another way of saying buyer's remorse since later there will be more games which will be cheaper due to used copies and time and also the console will be cheaper for the same reasons.

Console: Neither. I'm going to stick to my PC.
Reason 1: Console games are way more expensive than getting the game on Steam, HumbleBundle, GOG, ...
Reason 2: Backwards-compatibility. If I want to play an old game, there's a very good chance that it'll still run. Otherwise, I can just emulate the old environment in an application like DosBox and have fun.
Reason 3: I need to have a beefy computer anyway as a programmer, so it only makes sense to re-use the investment in my computer for games as well.
Reason 4: A much wider range of games. With closed environments like consoles you're stuck with whichever games get published for that console. On a PC, you can very often emulate old console games that were never made with the PC in mind (sidenote: I only emulate games that I actually own already, it's usually quite cheap to buy the physical version on the internet anyway).
Reason 5: Computers are the best of both worlds: I can use the keyboard+mouse combination or I can choose to use my wireless controller. Console games usually don't control a keyboard+mouse setup, even though all consoles support those nowadays, I think.
Reason 6: I can set up my computer as a games-only rig as well with the Steam "Big Picture" mode, should I ever want to.
I could come up with several more reasons, but plenty of other people already have so I'm not going to waste any time on that.
