By what, sales???? It has SMG I will give it that, thats why I bought mine but it is dead last behind the ps3/360/pc in terms of games. A few great games does not make up for the tons that it lost.

PS3 has the best tech? What an insult to the PC Gaming master race. I can live with your other points though,

The only thing I don't agree with is #4 and #5. Steam is better than Xbox Live. PC tech > PS3 tech.

3 IMO is way wrong. Most are opinions and some flatout wrong. For me, Consoles > PC. Now that I look deeper, I dont agree with 3 - 5 either. Might wanna check into how much integration there really is between the 360 and PC.

PC definitely has the best tech, but its also not the best value.

during the course of a console's life you generally have to buy 2 PCs to be able to play current games... assuming you buy budget PCs. If you do spend the $2000 to get a PC that will last you 7 years... then you only need one... but the value is greatly reduced.

also with consoles you buy game ownership rather than licenses, so if you resell your used games its quite a bit cheaper to buy games for consoles.

Yeah the PC beats out the consoles in tech by a huge mile. PC's can use blu-ray, they can use everything consoles can use and do it better. The only thing the PC lacks is the exclusive console games, which doesn't involve tech.

[QUOTE="Leo-Magic"]Pc is the best value in gaming??? nooooooo hell noedinsftw

Em...you dont know how to buy a computer then with the right parts. Thats really all there is to it

but a budget PC doesnt last for 7 years.

If you bought a top of the line PC in 2005... it would be struggling to play today's PC games. A 2005 budget PC wouldn't have a prayer. But a 2005 console, is still playing current games.

thats why the value argument falls apart.... you need to buy 2 PCs to match the lifecycle of a single console.

I am a PC gamer myself and I do think it is superior to consoles (hardware wise) BUT they cost much, much more (very hard and expensive to keep up with the technology) and if you 'just' want to game, you should get a console.

Lets put it this way...you dont need to play games on max, you just upgrade gpu...it cost only about 100 more than a console if you plan it right. You pay much less for computer games, and if you buy enough of them it cost less than the same ammount of games on console

I don't agree with several points you made:

1. PC isn't the best value if I'm not interested in the games it has.

Just because you're uninterested doesn't make OP's statement false.

maybe, but a budget build in 2005 probably has an AGP slot, so you need a new mobo. Or if its PCI-e 1.0 you need a new mobo to take advantage of the PCI-e 2.0 cards.... either scenario usually requires upgrading all components as its difficult to find a mobo that will have new graphics slots and old chipsets/ram slots... so you generally need an entirely new build.

so while in theory it might be as easy as buying a new gpu, from my experiences it rarely is.

PS3 has better tech in the way that is more reliable, nothing more. Other than that i think 360 has the better tech, it´s equally capable and more versatille.

LegatoSkyheart

i can honestly say i disagree with that pretty much wholeheartedly. all my best gaming experiences, video gaming or otherwise, are multiplayer based (mostly street fighter, bishudo blade 2 and tfc). if i want to do something alone i have other hobbies.

single player games are cute time wasters but not much more.

on 5: no. multiplats look worse and continue to suffer a bit and only exclusives that cost a fortune and where devs have the time to go 50 rounds with the hardware do manage to show it off. bottom line....for most games the 360 provides the better gaming experience out of the consoles. the PS3 can have all the fancy fluff it wants...as a games console its a pain in the backside. the PS3 is a better multimedia center though. on 4: nope: PSN is free so for me it automatically wins. hell will freeze over, pigs will fly and kevin costner will consistenly pick great roles for movies before i pay for xbox live. on 3: subjective since value is subjective. on 2: yes and no. yes its a system that more casual players prefer in general. however its not only for casual gamers. if you do not have a wii then you are missing out on alot of great games. on 1: agreed. case in point: wii sports.

dommeus

I honestly dont think they care, sales dont = fun in the living room. I have a wii, just like everyone else, I have been gaming since the nes and it is my least played console that I have ever owned. Sales dont = $#@%
