If people are uninformed enough that may be the case, its always best to check around online and not trust the chimps in the store as to how much the hardware is upto. No reason why a pc shouldn't last 3 or 4 years with no upgrades, you may have to eventually turn down some settings but if the game can be played thats the main point.

regardless if you shop around and get the bits cheaper you still are limited by your hardware and the effort of trading/buying new bits is simply a disadvantage as to not having to do shit to my console other than buying games for it. you then have to realize the percentage of people that dont upgrade their pcs/laptops is huge, so buying a new pc/laptop every 2 years to play a handful of games is not viable.


its just nice to have the only thing i have to worry about being what game i want to buy, rather than worrying about my system before i have even thought about the games.
