Nvidia Says - PC Is Far Superior To Any Console



Matt Wright who is the consumer sales manager at the company - Nvidia, says that PC is the best platform for gaming. He says that it's functionality makes it 'far superior' to gaming consoles. Staunch console gamers would need some convincing to accept such a fact.

Wright said "We are proposing small form-factor PCs to be a viable alternative to the next-gen consoles. Enthusiast players want the ultimate games system and that is the PC. The PC platform is far superior to any console when it comes to gaming, plus you get all the extra functionality that a computer brings."

PCs are known to be more complex to build and maintain as gaming machines compared to next-gen gaming consoles. According to Wright Nvidia's goal is "to make PC gaming as simple as possible and its already becoming much more relevant and appealing to casual gamers."

Talking about Steam, Wright said "Steam now has more users than Xbox Live. There is a whole new generation who grew up playing on PC with titles like Minecraft or World of Tanks. There is a huge community who love playing their games on PC."

Small PC gaming boxes are a major part of Valve's Steam OS push to get PC hardware in the living room, with the first Steam Machines expected to arrive in 2014.

Since Nvidia's competitor AMD is making graphics chips for the Xbox One and PS4, it is quite natural for an employee of Nvidia to say what Wright Said.
What do you think? Is Wright correct? Does PC beat the PS4 and Xbox One at gaming?

According to Samsung Survey - Men Take Twice As Many Selfies As Women




The word 'Selfie' has been made The Word of 2013 beating tough competition from 'twerk', 'binge-watch' and 'showrooming' as it has evolved from a niche social media tag into a popular word which is used commonly these days.

In a survey of 2000 people organized by OnePoll on behalf of Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom, 17 per cent of men admitted that they take 'selfies' compared to just 10 per cent of women.

About half of the British residents admit to uploading pictures from their smartphones immediately onto social media websites to share them with their friends and family.

The poll discovered that 5.4 million people in the United Kingdom post bragging photos within 10 minutes of arriving on holidays, hotel rooms, in bars and nightclubs and also of their bed.
