pc vs console

which do u think is better as the ultimate gameing
platform?

i think PCs are..... definitely

PCs offer:

more games

FREE games (ahem... copied)

REAL multiplayer

First Person Shooters are WAY better on PC (and you know
it)

a wider variety of game types (not just simple sports and
arcade type unrealistic racing or adventure or whatever)
strategy (SERIOUS strategy like civ3)
simulation
FPS (that little thumb-stick sucks and u know it! u
cant aim accurately!)

GRAPHICS:
MUCH better resolution
(the newest, "amazing" consoles like PS and XBOX are only
800X600!
on a huge tv screen.... that looks like shit
compared with 1024X768 on a 17 monitor.... u can see more on
the monitor w/ a higher resolution)
and the last generation were only 640X480! on a tv screen
that looks extra shitty!

and the games.... are just much better for pc!
where are your Counter-Strikes? your Unreal Tournaments?
your HALF_LIFE's!??!

they TRIED to convert these to console and they always end
up sucking

it depends of the games... doom-likes are way better on
computers, that's true :)

but multiplayer console games are cool too, and you can talk
easier to the other players, see how they feel, etc... (:

(ok, there are LANs...)

we'll see what happens once consoles really go
online. I wonder why it hasn't happened yet.

I think I'd say PC, but I don't play games too much anymore.
But PC seems to have the better games.

Although console is so... comfy. No upgrades or confusing
shit.

I don't play lots of games on either but both are fun. I
was playing multiplayer 'Halo' on the XBox today and it is
very much fun. But PCs have the advantages which Aminal
mentioned
