I'd say it's less, "oh look, the Glorious PC Gaming Master Race actually happened" and more, "oh look, the next gen consoles committed suicide."
Well, that's certainly a logical conclusion to draw from the new consoles having record launch sales, while PC sales are continuing to decline. Sure.
Given that PCs are used for far more than gaming, your comparison there is hogwash. PC sales have declined because many people who used pcs for light apps like social networking can now do so much more readily on mobile devices. People are buying more PCs than ever, it's just that many of those "PCs" are in the form of a "phone" or "tablet". With the massive boom in PC game sales, which is the actual metric we would use to track pc gaming growth or decline, it can hardly be said that pc gaming is declining.
This is correct. Pc gaming is on the rise, mostly due to the public double suicide that these consoles are. For instance, steam has beaten xbox live in active users )http://www.thinkdigit.com/Gaming/Steam-beats-Xbox-Live-hits-65-million_18290.html). Also steam is free.

Awww yiss, PC gaming master race. You want to play a good game? Let me emulate the PS2 on it. A shame about the lack of reverse compatibility on next gen. Choosing between old and new gen is kinda like choosing between a huge bunch of games we already established as good and a small bunch of new ones that we're not quite sure of.

Maybe you should start new Zero Punctuation episodes with your own singing. The guitar music is often much louder than the rest of the video and forces me to adjust my volume.

Still, no BF4? Gary's Incident: Day one? Mario 3D World vs Rayman Legends?

Spreading "civilization" is a country fucking mile worse than the pedestrian cork shite xenophobia and imperialistic chucklefuck murder extravaganza that gets pissed on in the name of political correctness and the pseudo-self-distancing circlejerk bullshit of current media and WESTERN SOCIETY culture. Nobody got the fucking right to declare a culture superior, and WESTERN SOCIETY, the bloated stodgy old fuck, is completely incapable of realizing that. "Modernity" is just a fucking fake title you put on "White Man's Burden" so WESTERN SHIT FUCK doesn't realize that it should commit cultural suicide and start building something entirely anew if it were to be judged on any scale of morality where it doesn't end up outweighing the institution of fucking genocide.

Not to flame but if you think about it, PC is more expensive since you have to upgrade individual hardware pieces every 6 months or so just to play the latest games and there's no grantee that they will run because a program you have in the background or your current hardware configuration will not get along with the game.

This is why I mostly stick to console gaming, since you only have to take out a loan every 5-7 years.
Have you seen the steam sales, and the humble bundles? Plus you don't HAVE to upgrade, if you don't your rig will never get any more powerful, but the consoles don't get more powerful over time so it's a pretty bad argument in the pc vs console wars.

You have taken all my thoughts about this "next gen" consoles and made it into this video. For that I thank you and congratulate you.

To be fair I can't think of a single exclusive I want. I loved Infamous as a series, but I can't imagine how they are going to actually design a third game since the second one did completely end, no matter the ending you picked. So I can't help but get a Bioshock 2 flashback.

I'm wondering this too. I desperately want to see a Rayman Legends review considering the amount of praise Origins got.

Look at all the sniveling fanboys butt hurt about the PC master race thing. It's like if something isn't said with complete dripping sarcasm then it couldn't possibly be meant as a joke. Lord help you people if you ever decide to read Hitchhikers Guide To the Galaxy, you'll probably end up taking it so seriously your entire body will follow your head as it recedes up your ass and then you'll pop out of existence.

I can't help but think of a metaphor at a time like this. It's like people on the Titanic sneering at the folks who claim that the life boats are a better alternative to staying on the bigger ship. Yes those life boats might be smaller and you'll have to row them yourself, and we sure did stick our noses up at them once before, but now we shall indeed sing their praises because they are the only safe way to go compared to the alternative of sinking into the frozen depths of the atlantic. But no, keep sneering, folks, saying we're so smug and douchebaggy for wanting to not die, call us the "life saving little boat master race", a phrase we might have joined in saying with just as much condescension, but I imagine it shall be hard to judge when you're sinking into the depths (of mediocrity and being taken advantage of as a consumer) while we float away above water watching you flail and try to convince us it's not actually all that bad when you've already been reduced to an icicle.

I'll just be here playing Recettear [http://www.carpefulgur.com/recettear/], the greatest game ever made in the history of ever. Enjoy Knack, I'm sure you wont get bored with it inside of a month and find there's nothing else to do with your expensive brick of a console.
You know it would make your argument against people being 'butt-hurt' much more effective if you didn't go on a rant about how consoles are the bane of the gaming industry and how PC is gaming's salvation. Or that console fans should keep calling PC Gamers smug when the next sentence is bragging about how amazing PC gaming is.

Unless you're just going to say "but sarcasm" on that.

Boy am I happy I saved up for a mid-high end PC while I jealously stared at what I used to think were pretty graphics on the PS3 and xbox 360.

Still can't afford a PC, as much as I'd like one. I had to save for a long time to buy a PS4, just because I want to play new releases and eventually they'll stop being made for current gen. I wish PC gamers would understand that most console gamers ACKNOWLEDGE that PC is a better way to play games, but just can't afford to pay twice as much for one than a console, and spare us the elitism. Whenever people start criticising me on my choice of platform and chanting "PC MASTER RACE" at me, it essentially boils down to them saying "look at what I can afford and you can't. Now I'm going to make you feel inferior because of the disposable income you don't have".
A pc that costs just as much as a console is going to be more powerful, see this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3f6INgYBmGo

Im actually wanting to get a WiiU since that seems like the fun kind of console anyone in my family could play on their own or together, but Ps4 and Xbone, obviously having local multiplayer and social shit going on, are mostly played by people by themselves, mostly, which is no different to PC basically.

So other than the social aspect, I cant imagine consoles being all that big of a deal other than the exclusives they have.

But fuck it, im getting a sword for christmas.

Ha! I loved this review! It was so funny, and so akin to the slightly older style you used to do them in (you know more bitter and cynical, and less forgiving and 'open-minded'). Good show! Oh, also - PC (Laptop actually), kthx.

This PC master race stuff has really stopped being funny and has begun looking like crass bitterness. I intend to be a PC4 gamer this generation (PC + PS4), so I can happily have the best of both worlds.
I'm not sure you know who you're watching. Yahtzee is crass and bitter, just like he has always been.

Also it's pretty clear he's still being sarcastic about the whole thing but really, he has a point. The only upside to a console was the convenience of putting it in your lounge when you couldn't do it with a PC but now you can, and consoles haven't really given us much to compensate.

Isn't it obviously evil ending, war between conduits and non-conduits raging into the second generation.

Playing through the game and trust me, multiplayuer isn't its best quality. Its the levels and my brother/sister? (I can't tell) a retail game that can boast level design as its best qualit yis a truly rare beast these days.
Oh well that's good. A Wii U is starting to look like my first choice of next-gen console to get anyway so if I do get one I'll be sure to pick it up.
