Console

I do love my console more that I love my crappy PC that doesnt get any games working xDD

Developers having to make games for PC's will have a harder time, and one of the reasons is the graphics and processing power - most people's PC's, I guess from reading from people's post from this thread, can't run high-end games like Crysis and CoD4 on their PC like I can and so they have to buy the consoles. I've never played Crysis, but I can say that the graphics are just too outrageous and doesn't necessarily make the game any better, it's just a good benchmark for your PC to see how strong your PC is.

Who the heck knows where PCs and consoles, in terms of gaming, are going to go. It could be either one that eventually wins, but I doubt I'll see it in my lifetime. In the end, the $1500 I spent on building a computer that can handle games like Crysis, can do my homework and use MSN I think it totally worth it. I haven't played a game where it's so good I just had to go out and buy it. I'm in the situation where I don't have any favorite games on the new consoles and my favorite games all lie on old systems. My comptuer gives me the ability to first download new games to see if it's good and if it isn't I chuck it away. If on the rare occasion the game was just arwesome then I would go out and buy it to support the developers.

Now that I kind of realized it, my post was somewhat pointless and I was just ranting out why I preferred PCs over consoles. Well, I used to play consoles a lot, the last console I owned was the Dreamcast and Crazy Taxi was just amazingly fun and house of the dead was hilarious. If I stop to think about it, there are things that PC's have that consoles may not have and vice versa and now I'm kind of tempted to go into Microsoft Word and set up a two-column table to compare the two on what each others have and not have. Go ahead and flame away on this post for those of you who love consoles more dearly than soul mates and think PC's need to go shove it.

Yo siempre he preferido la consola, me gusta más.

I always prefer console.

I hope things aren't getting into hits. There are several reasons why people have different choices, for as long as you enjoy your games.
So, as many says PC is way too costly and way too technical so if you are in low budget as I am, you would use console. Although PC has that many uses and choices of games, the consoles uses simple means of playing and of use.

PC, cause by the price you can do lot more things and sort of play the same games.

Pc doesnt have games like Halo 3, Halo Wars and Ace Combat 6! Thats all I wanna say!

I don't think theres a right answer to this question, consoles are great for playing games at there peak and PCs kick ass for user friendlyness. Well if you know what your doing. i just linked my PC and xbox 360 together and now have the best of both worlds, apart from my lecky bill.

Intergrate baby!

Well fact is that Consols are meant to be for games. PCs arent, but can be. If I could have the money. I would buy an iMac, then an EyeTV adapter and a consol to could play games then connect it to the iMac so it could be used as a display for the consol. This way I would have everything I need :]. For gamers Consols are reccomended in my opinion.

I like consoles better, because I don't really like mmorpgs.
However, because my favorite game, American McGee's Alice, was on the PC, I have to be at a sort of standstill in opinion. And the Sims was on PC as well.
PC is good if you like mods, but for straight up gaming you'd probably have to go for a console.

The console is the best option for gaming because its meant to play games, no hassle to install a new graphic card and it is cheaper than a pc, i play on both but only play shooters, rts and mmos on the pc (ok mines really a laptop) everything else i play on my ps3 even oblivion because it can handle it no problem on my console (my laptop can run oblivion) because its really hard to keep on upgrading every time a more power hungry game comes out on multiplatform (especially a laptop, you can only upgrade the hard drive ) and the majority of people now prefers the laptop cause of its convinience ) thats why the pc gaming is pretty slow these days imo

I think consoles and pc are actually getting really similar. Look at Xbox they allow you to go online.
But i still prefer PC because (my opinion) i think it allows you more flexibility on what you want to do. I don't really like the thing with consoles that is, you have to put in a CD everytime you want to change games. While compared to using a PC you can just close the game and continue onto another downloaded game afterwards without having to spend too much time.
The graphics of the two are actually getting really good too. Look at Crysis, they did a fantastic job on the graphics. But then there's also the part on how well your computer can handle the game too.

Here is a bit of research i did..i hope it may help...it about the advantages and disadvantages of console


Console Advantages
The most obvious advantage consoles have over PCs is cost. The majority of consoles sell for well under $500, often with a couple games in the bundle. A PC adequate for running the latest games can easily cost twice that much.

The second most obvious advantage is simplicity. Let's face it, PC gaming can be a technical nightmare compared to console gaming. People can actually take a console home and be playing a game within minutes. No operating systems to configure or drivers to update, and better still, no purchasing a game only to find out that it isn't compatible with your PC for some obscure reason.

Multiplayer gaming is also made easy with companies like Microsoft offering online services for their product. The Xbox, which came equipped with a network card, raised the bar for consoles in this regard, making it a simple matter to hook it up to a DSL or Cable Internet connection and get into a multiplayer game on Xbox Live, complete with voice chat.

Another appealing thing about consoles is that many people prefer to play games sitting on the couch, or they want to play with friends in the same room. While these things are possible on a PC, consoles are extremely well-suited for this right out of the box.

Console games are more readily rented than PC games, and more easily returned to the retailer if you're not satisfied with them. Generally speaking, it is difficult to return PC games because they are easy to copy.

Console games tend to have a relatively low learning curve. You might need fast thumbs, but you certainly won't need to spend hours in a "tutorial" trying to learn how to operate basic game functions.

Console Disadvantages
Although sealing everything into one unit does keep it simple, when some of the components inside the box become dated there's no way to solve the problem without replacing the entire console. In most cases, upgrades that could prolong the life of the system are not an option.

Consoles perform only one task really well, where PCs can be used for an extremely wide range of things. Some console manufacterers are trying to make them a little more flexible, but it will clearly be a long time before they support the staggering variety of applications that can be found for PCs.

There is a distinct lack of inter-connectivity between the different console brands. Many games are available for one type of console but not others, and when it comes to online play, each is typically restricted to its own network. This means that people with Xboxes can usually only play against other people with Xboxes, so, for example, there is no way for console gamers to jump into a fray on one of the countless PC Counter-Strike servers available. The PS2 has made some progress in this area, forging the way for cross-platform gaming between PS2 and PC users, but only a few titles support this right now.

While the PS2 network adapter supports both 56K modem and broadband connections to the Internet, broadband is required for Xbox online play. As well, Microsoft charges a yearly fee for use of the Xbox Live service.

Reciently i bought a good video card...so i can play game like dead space..gta 4 ..crysis..fallout 3...etc etc etc..so i spend much time on mi pc than mi ps2 (i don't hacve a ps3 yet '.',)...and beacuse of the graphics i prefer pc at thsi moment

I used to be a straight PC guy when I was into competitive online shooters, but now that I am a casual gamer I am leaning more towards my console..

PC is only good for mmorpg
the rest sux

i really prefer a console
although i dont have one T.T
