Wow, animeking. Can't you think of anything better to post so you have to bash me. Oh well, I will destroy your arguments too.

Firstly, Survivor you can't comment about the disadvantages of Consoles because you don't have one.

The disadvantages are obvious, so I can comment on them even though I don't have a console.

Quote:

Console and portable video games account for $6.2 billion, or 85 percent

So? PC gaming sales are also great. What are you trying to prove by stating the revenue of consoles and portables?

Quote:

You play limited amount of games and don't understand the full value of console games. The console experience varies on games of different types racing, shooting and ex. just by playing a few number you can't literally think PC IS BETTER.

So you are saying, I only play limited amount of games on PC, correct? And what value does console games have? Also PC gaming has a variety amount of games. So I really can think it's better.

Computers are also getting a little more user friendly, but eventually every PC gamer will encounter some technical complication, be it a device driver that needs updating or components that are simply incompatible.

The truth is, installing a game on your computer is always a bit of a gamble. You never really know if it's going to work until you're actually playing the game, and even then, in the back of your mind, you're expecting it to crash at any moment.

Unlike console games, you also won't find many PC games that support two players on one machine at the same time.

The next generation of consoles may offer more inter-connectivity, more cross-platform games, and may even have VGA monitor ports

With next-generation consoles making their appearance, one of the most vibrant discussions in video gaming these days revolves around the ongoing platform wars. As far as high-end games are concerned, it is evident that consoles have a growing appeal for both gamers and developers. The PC game market doesn't look nearly as healthy, although it's difficult to pin down because it includes such a broad range of products and revenue models. Many sales figures don't include money made through digital distribution, subscription fees, and micro transactions. Nevertheless, if you walk into a game store right now, you'll likely find a lot less space dedicated to PC games than to any of the consoles, and the sales of triple-A PC titles definitely reflects this.

Oh come on. Every PC gamer knows if the game will work on his PC and every PC gamer will know if he needs to update his PC in order to play the game. So that's not a big problem to most PC gamers.

There is something called "Game Requirements" on every PC game box. So if you don't read that before buying a PC game then you are an idiot. And PC games don't crash, and if they do, then it's the developer's fault, not PC gaming.

There are some PC games that have that feature.

Unlike consoles, PC technology doesn't just stand still between generations. The hardware constantly gets more powerful and the games constantly get more demanding. As a result, many gamers are under the impression that they will need a new system every year or two. In fact, you can extend the life of a gaming PC a great deal longer than that by replacing the video card or adding some RAM, but even then, as your system ages, you will probably have to settle for lower graphics settings.

Animeking, can you try to post in your words. You know posts you make and not posts you take from other websites.

The PC game market is healthy. Sales prove that. And most of the time NPD Group doesn't count the digital distribution for PC gaming which counts for one third of PC gaming software sales.

Can you tell me why, I can still use my 3 years old PC to play games that are releasing right now?

I have to agree with that Animeking. But we PC gamers got the benefits. PC gamers had options for HD game options YEARS before 360, PS3 and Wii were even talked about let alone existed. And developers do that to push PC Manufacturers to the limits. I don`t like it though to be honest. My new rig will chew up anything i throw at it (in the highest possible settings) with the highest playable FPS (except Oblivion). Even STALKER was practically maxed out. SO if you got a new rig, nothing to complain about until 4 years later. I`m thinking about an 8800 ultra though...

And to add to that, games on PC that are running on max setting are beyond what any console can do this generation.

Exactly. To tell the truth ((not bluffing) I read that the PC version of Oblivion,, when maxed out is wayyy better than the PS3 release. The 360 was the best because it was optimized. PS3 developers are just dumb, that`s all, and now were getting Halo 2 in 4 days!

i prefer consells even tho they are the biggest waste of money. they usually have better games. and there is a huge difference between carrying a ds and a desk top or lap top to the park
