Reasons Why Video Game eSports Is PC-exclusive: Game Integrity, Control Accuracy & Sponsorships

There are gamers who are voicing out their support for the inclusion of consoles for eSports. However, there are several sources who have recently addressed the reasons why PC is the king of eSports, and why having them on consoles could be a bad move.

The advantage that PC has over consoles in terms of gaming are controls. Console users have to wiggle their thumbs on joysticks with index fingers on the bumpers, middle fingers on the trigger and the pinkies gripping the controller. On the contrary, the keyboard and mouse control combination of PCs does not suffer the same problem, NAG Online said.

Gaming mice are exponentially accurate compared to controllers because it can be aimed anywhere and players simply have to click in order to shoot. Another advantage of the gaming mouse is they can be customized to the user's preferred DPI. This feature allows PC gamers to choose how responsive their mouse should be.

From the sponsors' point of view, PC thrives because of a return in investment from Logitech, Monster or NVIDIA sponsorships. Take Xbox and PlayStation into the equation and the resources will be spread thinly, Gamer Assault Weekly concluded. Factors like cost, game integrity, competitiveness and sponsorships are all taken into consideration when developers embraced the idea that PC should rule the game.
