Enough said. The consoles are coming to an end. The PS3 failed. The XBOX260 failed. The Wii, did ok. They still don't watch up with PC's.

Hmm... two different markets. Well... three different markets. I'll have to disagree with your statement.

I disagree also. I could buy any of those 3 consoles plus a handful of games for the same it will cost me just to upgrade my Videocard so I can play Bioshock on my PC.

And saying the Wii "did ok" is quite an understatement.

Think in terms of what you can do with a PC. You can do a lot more on a PC than on a console.

No one wants PS3's. Just over 38% of all PS3's have been returned, with negative feedback. The XBOX360 has the "ring of death". And the Wii.. well you can pull a muscle using it.

I don't know man... I don't buy any of your reasons. Each console has its pro's and con's. I don't really play any games on my computer. I mainly use it for school and to work on my website. If I were to play a game though, it'd probably be on the Wii with my roommates.

I love pc's. but after awhile, they just get expensive. for example, i built my computer almost 3 years ago for about 1200 dollars. Now, it is probably worth maybe 350 dollars.

im not saying consoles are better, they do last a bit longer. I cant afford to upgrade my pc now, kinda lame but o well. i can do hella **** with it though. way more than console.

i mean cmon, you cant look at **** on a playstation 3

i doubt 38% of PS3s have been returned, you realize how many that is...maybe returned in exchange for fixed ones, but not returned for good as in buyer has no more interest in playing.

the 360 ring of death has been fixed i think.

Wii pulling a muscle? give me a break...your really scraping the barrel for these.

ive never EVER felt a PC controller that i would be comfortable doing hot laps in GT4 with...nothing is as solid as a console controller...that alone will keep the PC gaming market down.

Wow someone woke up with their head in their ***. XBOX 360 failed? It's only the largest gaming community in the world. Halo 3 was only the best selling game ever. Are u a retard?

You'd have to pay an additional $25 just to watch some. With a PC you get everything for free.

What's the purpose of this thread anyways? Are you just wasting everyone's time or something?

if youre using a PC for what its meant for (work and

PC hardware is obsolete BEFORE its even hits the shelf... at least consoles give you a few years in between to save up for the better one.

PC games advance...you better advance your hardware or else you'll get thousands of people complaining about frame rate etc...now the PC guys are wishing they had the ring of death problem so they could simply exchange it at Best Buy within 10 minutes, and not have to go out to buy upgrades and spend time installing.
