Only one problem with that. You see, a gaming pc that can play the most high end games here costs the same amount as a ps3 with move, assuming you're not a fool and get the parts and assemble yourself, which is not complicated at all. The price of a upgrade in card which isn't all that expensive every 2 or 3 years is more than compensated by the cheap cost of pc games. For example, left for dead two on my 360 would cost $70. It was $5 for the pc. Let me flick through a short list of the cost for console and pc, and calculate the savings i've made. I wont list the entire thing here because its a huge list. But basically, i've saved, just by playing on the pc rather than my console, roughly a grand. That would more than pay for a pc far stronger than what i'm running. I do believe your argument is invalid. Also, you could very easily use your 360 controller to run all of these games, and your pc can be hooked up to a tv. So basically it'd be identical, except a quarter of the cost and twice the quality.OhJohnNo said:

I love my PC and my Console equally and they both can be played from the comfort of my couch since my PC is a laptop. So far haven't had spec troubles on the laptop, save for the Nvdia framerate issue for New Vegas. Only things that I prefer is to play an RTS on the PC other than that I'll play it either way
I love the feel of a controller, was brought up with consoles, didn't know PC gamming existed until I was fourteen. (I'm poor 
) So I use my 360 controller on my PC whenever I can. But I play more on the PC because for me the games are a lot cheaper.

Console. Seems like less hassle, whether it be meeting requirements or half a dozen of the unexpected errors that have a tendency to crop up.
it really depends on the games
see, for example, Call of Duty or L4D2 I play on PC (yes, they're FPS's, but I think the point gets across), while, say, Devil May Cry I play it on console, because it just feels better
but yeah, PC is my main choice

"time and effort" >implying it takes either. It's not a complicated game and considering the hive of information on the internet today if they really can't figure it out, it takes less than a couple of seconds on google, so if they can't handle it [Though I have a feeling you're indirectly talking from experience, because from your couch + HDTV + party chat remark, you clearly know next to nothing about this] Pc games are just as easy to optimize, and they have the added bonus of community mods and tweaks. And the majority of devs are realising bad ports will only tarnish their name, and as such more effort is being put into the port process. Though i've yet to see a game that doesn't blow chunks have a terrible port. And its the same with hardware. The days where you could only run X if you had an nvidia card are rapidly dying off as people realise compatibility will result in more sales. So, stop presenting arguments from the 1990s and think for a few seconds before you vomit onto your keyboard. Oh and "personal preference" is irrelevant when you were using it as points to why a console is superior when the factors can be applied to a pc identically with nearly no effort.
How did you go to a gaming forum and think "I know! I bet no one's made a thread about Console Versus PC yet!"
Seriously, this is so fucking unoriginal. Not to mention these always contribute to flame wars.

It wasn't that long and you don't deserve grammar. Consoles blew up in a big way in my opinion because at the time pc gaming was nowhere near what it was now. It was extremely expensive at the time consoles first started to own a pc, let alone own a good one. Where as now it's a lot more affordable. The range was limited, and you required decent technical knowhow to handle a lot of issues. But that was a different world. Pcs then were large, bulky and impossible to travel with, where as consoles were light and simple, unplug, pick it up, walk across the street, plug in two cables and put a cartridge in. Done. A pc was a lot more awkward. But these problems have been solved, and as such pc gaming is starting to boom in a beautiful way. The compatibility, freedom, ease of access and cheap prices have made it the most appealing option for many individuals. Laptops can keep up with pcs gaming wise so transportation is not an issue, the entire system has overcome its issues and as such is now superior.Straying Bullet said:

I personally used to LOVE my PC, it was seriously my favorite all time gaming machine I loved the mouse/keyboard interface as well as the option to customize almost anything in it.
In fact my only beef with the PC as a whole is the fact that most OS's can get virus's and that you have to check your system specs almost every time you look at buying a game to see if you can run it.
Overall I would pick consoles because of their simplicity and they tend to be cheaper than a PC gaming rig.

I use my console way more than my PC. I prefer controllers and all I have is a middle of the road laptop anyway.
Depends on the genre, I mostly use my console since I love JRPGs but when it comes to shooters I have to have a mouse and keyboard. However for recent games I've been playing more of them on my PC because I use my TV as a monitor and have a USB controller, so there isn't much of a difference.
Christ dude, you're basically arguing your side with a "I'm too lazy to read it.". Either read it or don't start an argument. It's not long at all.Straying Bullet said:
And I'm on his side here, he makes sense.
OT: Computer by far. I hate console controllers, though I like the relaxability. So, if I ever get too hunched up, I get my laptop wired up to the T.V
So it's consoling at no extra cost! Yaay!
