Seriously, what is a console? £200+ for a box that plays games with poor graphics, and crashes all the time. Despite being more expensive, I’d much rather have my PC, that does a lot more than just games. it’s also always ahead in terms of hardware and easier to repair. Like Microsoft, sony or Nintendo even give a shit if your console breaks.

PC gaming sucks, some people are saying the ps3 and the 360 cant play crysis ?! look it up a bit more before spewing S*** ! It was good… 7 years ago… its still good for those games 7 years ago and the occassional MMO but otherwise, suck… I have spent 1000’s euro on PCs and if i hadnt stopped with them, i would have spent 1000’s more ! I mean, consoles = Quantity and Quality ! Pc = Quality sometimes ! I can surf the net with my ps3 ( infact, writing this on a ps3 ) and have games like Killzone 2, which pc will never have seeing as KZ is like 50gb of memory ! Im done with PC’s, nice to know other people are as well !

man i was just like you, I used to think that the pc was the best until I found out that I have to upgrade my pc every time a more powerful game comes out (which now and days happens almost every 3 months). Sure the pc has valve and bizzare for games, but if you think about it those are the only 2 companies that actualy provide the pc with good games, my point is that 3 years from now the consoles will surpass the pc in games and in quality- gears of war is only the beginning, and soon consoles will soon enjoy the team fortress updates and crysis, and NO consoles don’t suck, for one I don’t have to build my console, my xbox360 has much better online than my pc, my ps3 actually came with a blue ray and my wii has motion detection, my friend you are the one who sucks.

[...] I know no one actually will stop playing them (myself included) but this article adds one reason the dozens of others. [...]

Using a PC for games is like using your car to mow the lawn.

Instead of using one blunt instrument to do two completely separate things, it’s a hell of a lot easier to use two different tools for the two different jobs: computer for work, and console for play. My “non-PC” does everything I could ever need from a computer, all in one device. I can take it anywhere, and it absolutely never crashes. EVER. And needless to say, once you use a trackpad, you’ll never want to use a clunky mouse ever again. I simply can no longer abide the massive (and massively outdated) mouse-and-keyboard design, and as clumsy as it is for writing, it is even less suited to modern gaming.

On the flip side, my console does everything I could ever want from a gaming system, and with only two devices (the console itself and the controller) that take up very little space. I can play it virtually anywhere in the house with ease, whether I’m on the couch, in my favorite recliner, or in bed. Despite the early overheating problems (which have now been fixed), the system has worked perfectly, and games such as GRAW2 have shown just how awesome modern gaming can be, not to mention how easy it is to add a friend or two on your couch and play simultaneously. Why would we ever settle for anything less?

And neither of these devices requires any maintenance or upkeep whatsoever. I never have to worry about constantly upgrading just so I can play the latest games, nor do I have to spend much money at all to get the full gaming experience. It’s a total no-brainer, and it’s no coincidence that all of the best games ever made have come out on… you guessed it…. consoles.

PC’s are dinosaurs.

One thing so many have left out is gameplay. Maybe it’s because I started gaming back in the 80s and having given it up yet but the game play on the new PC games is absolute shit at best. Granted the graphics ala cut scenes etc are top knotch but eventually you have to play the game. 5 minutes into some shitty interface and you want to put the disks away and never play the BS again. What ever happened to market testing these games. Example, games like Black and White, Star Trek Armada, hell even Pools of Radience lacked what these new games have in graphics but you could play these games for years! I just finished comparing Shogun Total War with Rome Total war and it’s night and day! Rome rocks the graphics and options but the base game etc sucks in comparison. I’m tired of blowing 40-50 on a game I can’t get past 5 minutes playing. I’m out.

Me,
You made alot of good points until you threw up ignorance like an internet retard with “So stop your bitching and shut the fuck up”. It sucks when someone tries to defend something and does it fairly well just to ruin it by acting like a total idiot and ruining all credibility. Sad…

Any argument for PC vs Console is settled in one sentence that I already wrote.

“The difference is with consoles the games themselves are optimized for the systems, as where with PCs the games are made to blow away all previous hardware to gain graphic superiority.”
