Generally are PC gamers smarter than consolite+ poll

I wouldn't say smarter. I think the average PC gamer would generally know more about PCs and they way those types of games work, which in comparison to a simple console, seems like it would require a higher intellectual commitment.

Society pins a nerdy, smart image on computer elites, imo someone proficient with a computer is due to experience and knowledge, no different than someone who knows about a car, or some other area. It doesn't mean that they are generally smart. It depends on the subject.

After I spend all day bludgeoning Oracle into doing what I want, it's nice to come home and turn the gray matter down a couple notches.

It's more to do with ignorance than intelligence, maybe even knowledge but definitely not intelligence in most cases.

PC gamers could be very arrogant sometimes howvever, unless I have just seen fanboys from my standpoint.

i find that the people that are playing on the pc is ALOT more competitive and have better team work skills then the guys playing consoles.

consoles: YOU SUCK..... consolists response, hey its just a game im playing for fun!... theres no compitition in consoles its sad... just kids and sissy'sRiki101

Explain Gears then. Gears is highly competative, but as a payoff, trashtalking is an abundance with the XBL community on Gears, (and some racism to go along).

Good God, PC gamers. I've meet people on Halo 3 who didn't know how to crouch.

I'm serious.

Pretty sure this one goes to the PC gamers. It takes a lot of skill to get a game running smoothly for a playable amount of time.PS2_ROCKS

Not really.

I've met people on Halo(PC) that didn't know how to crouch too.

I'm serious :|

Wow. Been looking at your poll and its completely flop sided anyway I voted for the console and the reason is simple you see since console gaming is better anyone that owns a console is smarter in this case. Now you know. PC gamers maybe more book smart but there are different levels of smart out there.odin2019

Fanboy much?

It was just an example but on the serious side just because someone is more book smart than someone it doesn't mean that they have as much common sense.

play a game of CounterStrike and compare to a game of Halo 3.Hewkii

CS has screaming college guys,and Halo has screaming 10 year olds. I think its obvious which is worse.

Plus I actually find alot of people on CS are hilarious. Half the time when I play that game I just start chatting to people.

Screaming 10 year olds vs Screaming college guys- Well,you would think that the college guy is smarter because...he's in college. It's normal for kids the scream...it's what they do.Ten year olds are young and immature so them screaming is nothing out of the ordinary,and doesn't make them dumb.By the time your in college most will expect you to have some level of maturity,and no one will take a screaming college guy seriously...especially if it's over something as silly as a video game.So..simply put the two have different standards.

PC gamers vs Console gamers- That's like asking which is smarter...black people or white people. PC gamers and Console gamers are no different. Both are human (well most) and both are gamers. I don't believe anymore has to be said on this.

:] So my point is that it's a very very stupid argument.

anyways, PC gaming requires more knowledge such as knowing the parts and all, but other than that, it's pretty much up in the air. i can only wonder what the handheld gamer is like...
