How am I trying to start a flame war? I do play a PC game (Battlefield 2142) and it's one of the best but I always here people say the PC is the best in FPS games but they don't tend to sell many so why? How the hell is that starting a flame war?

Halo on Xbox

Halo on PC

Halo better on the PC.  I've played both.

Why is it better?  Mouse/Keyboard, better resolutions, more immersion.

I'm sure Gears of War would be more of the same.  But then again GoW is 3rd person, so you might need to take this thread to system wars, because that is what this thread is.

Because it's a dumb question, Why do halo and gears sell so much? It because it's the only really excellent shooter games for the x360, the PC FPS base is larger, but is spread out over many more games, Some people play BF2142, some play CS:S, some play CS 1.6, some play UT, some play AA, some play RTCW, and so on and on.

Well first of all, you'll start a flame war because all of the Halo, and console shooter fanboys, and second, wtf are you talking about?  PC games sell a lot :|.  Bass7

Halo on the PC probably didn't even go Gold so why is that. WHy don't PC FPS games sell well that is the question. Is it because the PC gaming community is soo small or is because everyone pirates PC games and never buy them. rasstarman

Why don't Xbox 360 online games sell well?  I mean the number one online game is WoW.

I don't know why they don't sell as many, maybe it's because more people play consoles or maybe there so many more fps games on PC than there are on console that alot of people buy different PC fps. But for console there's only so many imo that are worth buying so everyone gets it.

But I only stick to computer for games and I think they're better for fps gaming because a mouse is a lot better for reflex reactions, quick aim and shoot motions and is a lot smoother. Also, the keyboard set up is nice for fps games.

But other than controls and stuff PC can offer higher graphics, even though I care more about gameplay, and people can usually make custom made maps and download mods/patches.

Because consoles have very few really good fps games so everyone buys the same one. On PC you got the Battlefield, CoD, MoH, Half Life series, CS:S, Quake, Doom, Rainbow Six, Ghost Recon and the list goes on...           and unlike consoles not very many people get every fps game out there and only stick to a few. And sometimes there no need to get a new game every now and then because new maps and mods come out for most games.

Basically every game you just listed is on the console.rasstarman

But its better on the PC.  I guess you just don't get it, troll.

I ask a very simple question that was on my mind and i am automatically labeled a troll? I think the main reason the PC games are not moving that many titles is because of piracy and many people are losing interest in PC gaming because of the constant upgrades and price. Plus because consoles are becomign more and more attractive. COD2 came out on the PC before the Xbox version but has already sold over a million for Xbox. In the 90s games like Half Life sold over 8 million copies but piracy was not as rampant in those days as it is now. We have fast internet connections and basically anyone can get any PC game for free if they wanted to plus stores don't carry that many PC games as they use to.rasstarman

By your logic, the Xbox is terrible for online gaming.  WoW on PC is the most popular online game and outsells anything on the Xbox.

First, not as many people as you think pirate games and second, once again more people bought CoD2 on Xbox than computer is because that was probally the only good fps worth getting for $50 for consoles.Captain-Seal

Why don't they sell well? Games on the consoles like Halo and Gears of War is selling over 3 million while the top sellign PC game has been The Sims for many years. rasstarman

From a demographics standpoint, I think there's an easy explanation of why "The Sims" outsells shooters on the PC.

Chicks don't play consoles much, and they rarely play shooters.  But they do use computers, and they love "The Sims".

Frankly, I've never seen what anyone sees in The Sims.  One of the computers I bought came with a copy of The Sims.  I played it for a couple of hours and gave it away.

some of us dont worry about our specs as much as see it as fun to upgrade to newer better components so we get better graphics sooner.  also how are console shooters so much more fun.  in general they are much easier and more linear with less of an emphasis on anything tactical or deep about combat.

Its Because the choice on PC is so much better and console imported to pc game just can compete with the fps on PC its whole different level ...and mostly becuz those game like Halo are like THE game to sell the console u know the reason u would buy the consol its becuz of a game like that so ppl who care already have the game on consol ...so why would u buy the game again for pc ig u already invest 700$ for the same game basically

Why is he/she a troll for stating the obvious?

 You make yourself look even more idiotic by calling that person a troll.

1942 isn't on console BF2 isn't on console as the same game Far Cry isn't on console as the same gamenutcrackr

I have tried many PC games and the only game I can say that is really appealing is BF2, BF2142 and Company of Heroes.

You are right.  Its true.  I'm an idiot.  That is why I come into the PC forum and say that console gaming is better.

Ah.  The true troll is still coming out.

I'm happy you like your Xbox.  Don't try to come into a PC forum, making a case that you like gaming on your Xbox better.  That is System Wars fodder.

PC>Console gaming.  I feel that way.  Every game that comes out on the Xbox and PC is better on the PC.  That is why I'm in the PC forum.

You feel differently.  That is why Gamespot has an Xbox forum or System Wars, so you can cuddle up to your Xbox and say how it is superior for you than the PC.

But guess what?  You're wrong.
