    I agree with you. Take madden for instance (yes, I know I'm a madden addict), because I only have a cube (I bought it when i didn't know better), I'm a pc gamer-ish person (can't really call myself a gamer, I dabble). But it seems like we get less of the good games, and the pc ports aren't as good/not supported enough. In madden, I didn't get a roster update until november, whereas the consoles got their first one at the start of the season. But let's face it, PC isn't a big moneymaker, so they won't support it as much. I wish I bought a PS2 two years ago. I'm not gonna buy one now because next gen consoles coming out. And at the same time I'm not gonna throw down 600 bucks for a ps3.

    Consoles are better for playing games on, because there made for it, i would suppose, consoles are better....the PC games are almost the same as consoles games, you would be better off getting a console then a PC. :)
    The consoles can play games higher then the PC anyway, without lag or anything.
    If you really want to spend aload of money on a PC just to play games, that's useless, just get a console.
    umm please tell me the point in having that?? kind of detail on a console....1600x1200? no point..

    Anyway i like the gamecube it's really good, i like it better then the XBOX.

    There's actualy a reason consoles are just ment specificaly for gameing. Its because developers would know exactly what that particular machine's limitations are. Take the Mac for example. They've got software that will work straight off the bat, while since PCs are open architecture programmers will have to work out what the lowest common denominator is, or what an average user will have on a normal pc, even if they have another set of codes to optimise the program for a particular setup. I mean who've seen a BSOD, graphic artifacts from failing graphics card, direct x problem or a "Insufficiant memory to run this game" error (of sorts) on a console?

    In terms of media playback and internet browsing, it has slightly improved in comparison to the old days of consoles, but like lekki says, there's always restrictions. although thats not gonna stop serious console modders to stick a copy of windows xp on their X360 etc.. (provided they buy the retail version off course:D) since hardware are almost identical (mobo (minus the proper pc BIOS), cpu, psu, ram, hdd, optical drive, usb ports)

    There will always be a market for PC games simply because, well, more than half the world has pcs or use them in some way/shape/form, and would like to be entertained once in a while. Although some developers probably wont be releasing some "exclusive" games simply because there's probably too much reprogramming involved to recreate the program into a playable pc version and that they wont earn that much since they will have to aquire various licences before they can get it to work. That could also be said the same with exclusive PC games to consoles...

    Most importantly, games that prove popular in the end tend to be ported to the pc, and also those whome the public cry out for (if enough emails are sent to em :p). Who can't resist making a quick buck?

    I can never play a FPS without my trusty little key & mouse.. controllers are just too wierd for them, exception of the light gun...

    CoD3 will be the same way, all for the next-gen consoles and not for PCs... It makes me sick... but what are we to do?

    Oh come on, in another post you were worried about your parents buying you a measly stick of RAM... and now you have all the consoles??

    I bet you got the PS4, or know somebody who does right? LOL

    bah

    I've played mostly console games but I do admire the Pc's potential
    I mean when I play RE4 I feel limited..
    on a PC? turn up the graphics..more depth to the game...
    console? beat the story..the end
    I've play of COD2 on both pc and console...the console didnt impress me..
