Console owners don't want the hassle of a compter, they want to plug in and go.
Say you want to play at your friends that doesn't have a comparable PC, what are you going to do, pack up yours, I doubt it.

This debate has been going on forever, they're just two totally different style gamers.
I have both and I'd choose consoles any day. People don't want to use the same thing they been staring at all day to game with and that's a fact.

O and by the way who gets game releases 1st? I thought so.

The New systems are a waste. . . lol I think your $350 video card is a waste too

I don't consider myself a gamer, but these statements require me to interject.

1) My PC is a beast, and I COULD pack it around :p My PC tower, a keyboard, and a mouse are all I require to pack around. Maybe a portable hard drive. But their audio receiver should be plenty fine for the occasion. And an HDTV would serve fine for plug and play.

2) How do you figure not wanting to play a game on a pc that you use daily? Kind of a silly statement don't you think?

3) I've been under the impression that consoles get their release first, so the developers get more return sooner for their efforts. A pc game is easier hacked than a consoles(or at least a stronger probability for piracy). But then, I believe all current consoles have been hacked. So perhaps there is some other logic to consoles getting releases first. There's a larger population interested in simpler gaming. Consoles accomplish that, because there's no need to configure for the most part. And they're cheaper, because their hardware is outdated, and priced to sell...

My graphics processor cost $300. I can play most modern games at a fluid (high quality) setting. It's when I apply anti aliasing settings when the graphics processor begins to bust its butt ;)

I don't have to spend $300 for the latest game either. Only if I were hell bent on a particularly high framerate, and the game were highly demanding. Like Crysis.

Crysis would be a good example of Console vs PC. Crysis had to be dumbed down to run on the consoles. A lot of graphics are missing, because the consoles would not be able to run it. Grand Theft auto 4 in my opinion does not look that good on the PS3. It's totally agreeable, but it looks better on my PC :p Games are dumbed down to run on consoles... :p

I guess we'll see what Microsoft is counting down to. If it's the next xbox... I won't be buying it. I own a Nintendo Wii(modified). I rarely use it.

nup 360 & jtags are the last consoles i'll buy ,from this point on it's pc all the way,you want portability at an affordable price no prob get a slim or form factor hey guess what it'll play movies & anything else without having to jump thru stink'n hoops, yeah man f'em all those console makers i'm done with consoles the only unit that was any good was the original xbox & that required a softmod or chip so from my chipped xbox here's a golden shower (que yellow rain)
