    The pc can do what a console does and so much more. If I wanted to, I could use a tv with hdmi and home theatre audio and even with an xbox controller...

    Also more and more consoles are moving towards installing games. Mainly due to laser disc player speed problems.

    Agree with you there, my TV is plugged into my PC as it is. I just have to enable the second display and jam my games on 32" of glory with my wireless 360 control anyway. It's like a console.. but better :P

    My console is easier to play, for the reasons Lupus said.

    Get home, turn on PS3, play a game on my home theatre system.

    It's not about "but I can get better sound for my PC" or "the larger screen can be plugged into the pc", but rather the fact that they are already there

    If I want to play a PC game, I have to go sit in the study with earphones on, and this is why I never play PC games. Console is fun when my friends come over, and we can sit and play PS3.

    Don't get me wrong, I LOVE both types of gaming, and each one has it's own benefits outside of pure hardware or performance specs.

    It comes down to whats accessible to you, what you are comfortable with, and to some degree when you got involved in the gaming culture, and what mediums you were introduced to. Someone like me who has been involved in gaming from a young kid starting on consoles(SNES era and Sega Saturn) and moving to using a PC as my main platform, there is one thing that remains constant. The device you play on is just a mean's to an end, that allows me to have the game experiences I want to have and be entertained. Over time that has just evolved. I once owned a Playstation, Sega Saturn and a PC, I now own a PS3,Xbox360 and PC, they are just a medium for me to enjoy the games I want to play, and dam them for making so much money off of me

    That's the thing, they are all accessible to me, the 360 and PS3 are in the lounge, the Wii is in the bedroom, the PSP is next to the bed and the PC is now relegated to the garage due to baby taking it's old room ;-). I also grew up with PC's our first being a commodore 64 back in the early 80's, then my dad got me an NES, and then later we got a Megadrive all while our PC was constantly upgraded too. Then got a PS, still had a decent enough PC so played both, I think it's just been in the last couple of years, since my PS2, Gamecube and Xbox that I started to play less on the PC then the others, I don't know why perhaps cause of ease of use.

    Yeah same I started on consoles. Sega nes and game gear(yes handheld) But I just prefer gaming on pc. Fighting and arcade games are better on console.

    PC really owns in every department except for one: Exclusives.

    Consoles (And more specifically the PS3) will always have the better exclusives.

    That is my my point. If you can get both then do... But if you need to choose one... Choose the one suited to the games you enjoy.

    My problem is that I only enjoy a few games on console and most of the games I like work better on a pc. So why get both? Not really worth it so I would rather put that money into an even better pc... Which is use for playing and work anyway.

    If you like jamming on a console and don't mind the limitations that are involved then do so. Trying to say either platform is objectively better is pointless.

    I love pc and don't know if I would ever switch to a console... But I understand some of the appeal of consoles.

    What I dislike are console users trying to say that those limitations don't exist. Maybe then they will fight for a faster development cycle as well (maybe with some awesome keyboard and mouse replacement :P )

    "multiplatform"... the word that ruins games for PC gamers.

    LOL! F'n told. FAIL.

    Have to agree with Duke though - the exclusives are the one thing that gives you the finger as a PC gamer.
