However the thing that makes consoles nice is that, (for me anyways) are easy to take from point 1 to point 2 without any problems (unless you have a laptop) LAN has become easy (xbox respectively) and most of all, all games are made to run on the same hardware. I dont have to worry that my game wont run well because im not “up to par” with what they had in mind.

For Example, I found this site through the Old Supreme Commander Blog that is around, “Supreme Commander Talk”, because I recently got my own new pc that could actually play it, as I couldnt afford the 700+ dollars that it costs to get a decent computer. An xbox 360 for instance is only $200 - $300 for countless hours of gaming. If anyone wants an answer to any of it, to me, thats it.

Take alook at all the game devs from japan they suck and don’t keep up with technogy when it comes to games or hardware.

No console game out sells pc gaming in fact cercen tittles out sell any console on the maket. games such wow, sims, nacy drew, guildwars, linage,starcraft,half life, daiblo I could go on!

Disregarding the TV, you’re looking at merely $400 for a system with great developer support giving it billions of games and that can, in fact, do other things like listen to music, play movies, and, apparently, stream Netflix.

The problem with PC gaming in general is that it is targeted to a niche — those who can build their own computers. Casual gamers can’t and won’t go through the work required to get a decent gaming system built, and since companies like Dell stick the latest and greatest hardware in their “gaming” PCs and sell them for $5999, no one wants to bother.

Even with a huge TV involved, the cost is still way cheaper than so-called “gaming” machines companies are trying to pimp. Never mind that Average Joe doesn’t realize $600 in parts can run Crysis on high; the companies aren’t building such PCs and neither will Joe.

Targeting a niche is bad enough, but throw in piracy and there’s very little incentive for developers to continue making PC games. The sales just aren’t there. The trend is already beyond the tipping point, and it’s going to get nothing but worse as more and more developers desert the PC.

Nothing is exclusive and the PC versions are nearly always shittier than their console counterparts. I have a feeling even MMOs won’t be exclusive for much longer. Blizzard simply needs to find a way to drill holes into M$’s pockets to get subscription fees out of them.

So, I guess my overall “complaint” is that, given the current state of consoles and their Internet access, PC gaming is an unsustainable model that is being beaten to death by its inability to offer the average person anything worthwhile.
