The indie scene on PC is flourishing, let the consoles burn for all I care. Then all those delicious exclusives can be enjoyed by a greater audience and won't be held back by archaic hardware.
Take consolles out of the equation and a lot of the games you enjoy simply wouldnt get made.
Do you have any evidence to back up your point?
Um, how about the fact that gaming PCs are STILL more expensive than consoles, and people are more willing to buy a dedicated game player than they are a computer. A LOT of people are put off trying to play games with a keyboard, and since any controllers are necessarily third-party, people have to put in twice as much effort to get one that works. It's also easier for developers to build to standardized technical schematics, rather than having to guess what the best average of current computing hardware amongst the masses, which is why MANY console games dont make it onto PC...
To sum up, you're an idiot.
gaming PC with the same processing power than, say, eggsbox, is infact cheaper. what we call "gaming pc" now is much more powerful, therefore it is logical that it is more expensive.
the fact that people want to buy a plug-to-tv console more than a computer is either a lack of knowledge or mental problems.
keyboard and mouse are far superior than any controller ever made. if you plug controller into PC your doing it backwards. infact people plug mouses into PS3s now. Too bad they only work in menus. OFC it is easier for developers to build on a standardized 7 year old system. that means they can just do 1/6th of the job and then claim the console cant run the rest (cough, dust514, cough). The hardware on PC is standartized enough. They seem to have no problem making cheap ports so it cant be that hard.
as for the buyers perspective, local shops always offer ready-to-work computer models that may not be 100% optimal, can be just brought home, plugged in and your ready to go.
to sum it up, well, you read your own.
