Not really. This generation of consoles has adopted USB, but for anything older, you'll need an adapter.RhombusHatesYou said:
Poll: According to my peers, PC gaming is inferior to consoles.

Apples/Oranges. Both different, both possessing strengths and flaws. Speaking from a purely technical standpoint PCs are better, but there are multiple factors involved beyond technical specs. For my money, the machine with the best selection of exclusive titles usually wins out.
I've always thought the same way about things, but PC games are starting to lose their exclusiveness, and that troubles me, because that means PC's are just gonna get console ports, leaving either modders, or hackers to fix it up to make it a PC worthy game, dev's / publishers think they can throw an orange-apple at a PC, but it only runs well with apples. (I'm looking at YOU, Skyrim, thinking you can have screwed up keyboard / mouse controls and CPU based instead of GPU based shadows that make my computer lag.)RatRace123 said:

Still, if we go with a car analogy for the minute... on the tech side, consoles are like a daily driver... nothing flash but they do what they were built to do. Meanwhile PCs are a range of cars going from suped up ratrods to multimillion dollar high performance race machines.
However, gaming as it stands today is more or less a suburban road network meaning in most cases regardless of what the respective machines can do, the Neon and the Zonda are both going at the speed limit... and there's very few 'no limit' roads or convenient race tracks to take your supercar screeching balls out at it's maximum performance.
They've been making gamepads for PCs for a looooong time now, even before consoles went USB.Rodrigo Girao said:
I have a moderate gaming pc I bought a over a year ago for something around 1300$. Runs everything currently out on at least medium graphics. I also have an xbox and there are some games I prefer on the console and some I prefer on the PC. Sometimes it's based on what my friends have their game on, sometimes its the type of game (ever tried playing Prince of Persia on a PC...yugh) and I see the upsides and downsides to both platforms. I voted potatoes because they are yummy.
Show them this thread and say "a bunch of the guys on the Internet agree with me, so I must be right".alimarin said:
When you buy a console game, do you have to worry if the system you're running it on fits the requirements? No, no you do not. A good PC rig may be able to run games faster and with more graphical power but it doesn't improve the gameplay very much, and it is usually very expensive.
I'd say they're about equal.

OT: apples and oranges for the average person, but really that is quite ignorant of him to say such a thing, if you just laid down some cold hard facts in a calm manner i'm pretty sure that person would feel ashamed and regret saying as such.
hmm i think it would be best to point out that console hardware is around five years old now so PC game makes no sense as an insult. also do him a favour and remind him that while modern warefare has a more meaty story that doesn't mean its anywhere nere being less retarded.
