Ask HN: What makes consoles so much better than PCs for games at their price?
A PS4 currently 300 dollars on Amazon. It would be difficult to build a PC for 300 dollars that could play video games at the same quality &#x2F; performance. So where does the gap come from, or what is so specialized about consoles that allow them to do video games so well? Is it just sheer economies of scale from standardized hardware?
