^Please tell me all consolites aren't this ignorant.

sorry I did not mean to generalise, but that is the image that is currently painted by society regarding PC gamers and in fact gamers in general. Nintendo removed it somewhat with Wii, but still exists. PC gamers are seen as nerds, who just stare at a screen. Playstation owners are seen as "cool and alright". Of course none of this is correct, but thats the image painted nowadays in society.

I think you should stop worrying about labels. Hate to break it to you but you're posing on a video game forum where we argue about game systems. You're a nerd by anyone's standards. You may as well embrace it rather than lying to yourself and thinking your a higher status member of society than PC gamers because you view them as way nerdier than you are.

You know it has crossed your minds.  Just finish the deed and convert .  Become part of the all powerful master race.  You will never be happier once you do.

ya know, I actually think theres truth to this...

Of course it is, but people are too attached to their lumps of plastic and trolling to actually do it. 

I switched to PC and I can honestly say I've missed nothing from consoles and it was one of the best choices I ever made

I can certainly see the side to plug and play gaming... though little to my knowledge, I never realized how easy programs like steam make PC gaming.... its pretty striking to be honest....

I've been playing PC for years so that won't change, the question for me is "Will I bother to own either of the new consoles at all?. I can say for damn sure that I'm not feeling too excited about either of them but one looks at least promising.

I noticed most consolites are afraid to make the jump because they're intimidated by pc gaming's difficulty as far as needing to be tech savy.  If they only knew how simple it is with clients like steam.  Heck, learning pc hardware and software now adays in general is extremely easy considering all the outlets there are that can educate anybody.

I already do some gaming on the PC anyways, but my priority would easily be the PS3, XBox 360 and my handhelds (PSP, 3DS) systems. I have tons of games to play on both, so I'd never be bored. No idea what you mean by PC's outpacing consoles. Outpaces them in what. There's no tracking for gaming PCs and consoles software sales usually beat PC's handily. PC, IP, Smartphone gaming is more of a distraction to me. It's something to game on when you're tired of playing on consoles. I'll play a little Diablo 3 or GW2, maybe jump on my IPad 2 and play Flick Golf, Real Racing or Where's My Water or use my smartphone to play Stickman Golf & Angry Birds.

Really?  Damm, driver updates come every few months and literally only take me seconds to a minute to download and install.  Personally I love driver updates.  Who doesnt wanna that extra performance in games?

Steam patches my games automatically, which download while I play a game in the background.  Not a problem at all.

How am I being defensive?  I don't think I even remotely gave that impression.  I'm asking him a legitimate question because I'm curious to why it doesn't appeal to him.

Seems like you've been spending too much time in system wars buddy, that even a simple question seems like an attack to you.  Go outside a catch a breath of fresh air.
