If all games were multiplatform would you still buy consoles?

If all games were multiplatform i don't see the point investing or playing on a console anymore.I'd play on PC only. Consoles sell because of exclusives ( God of War, Uncharted, Mario, Gears of War, Halo ), overall PC is cheap, better and lasting system when it comes down to gaming...imo.

of course , even multiplats require consoles to play them :D

Heck no.

Obviously not.

I still prefer party games and sports games on consoles. So..... yup. I'll still have to buy consoles.

I'd rather play in sub-HD and 30fps with friends, then 1080p and 60fps with strangers.

So ... I'd game on whatever the majority of my friends had.

I'd pick what platform suited my personal needs, and the one which had the best power to cost ratio for playing games and worked out the best over the lifespan.

I would say that the PC would suffer more than consoles if that happened.

Not exactly :P power to cost at initial entry, PC is still too much for gaming in my eyes entry cost always is higher but it has its downsides.

Hell yes, I don't like gaming on PC, never have unless its a city-builder.

No. I'd game on PC if it was more like my consoles, but that's not going to happen.lowe0

I would probably have bought all the consoles anyway, only to realize that I should have been Playing on the PC the whole time.

From here on out it will be PC.....That is if Exclusives never Existed.

Yes of course I would.

Also, you're wrong, exclusives for the most part don't actually sell the Consoles, multiplats do.

Yes. Some games are just better played on a TV. Connecting my gaming PC up to my TV is a big hassle that's not worth it.

Yes of course I would.

Sure, for now. Consoles are easy to use, require no expensive upgrades to use them from start of life cycle to finish and are perfect for lying back on my couch whilst playing them.

Of course not. You would only need a PC then. Maybe a PS3.

I've already tried going it alone with the PC during the short time between the 3DO and PSX..... couldn't do it. Although I assembled a couple of PCs, I still bought a PSX and later, an N64.

Yes.

yes, cuz consoles are cheaper than PC

Probably not. I might have to give up sports games though since I'd rather play those on consoles.

Ease of use, and most friends play on them, as opposed to a handful on pc so yes. Definitely.

I would probably go with playstation brand because the console would be cheaper to being with. It would have free online and wouldn't have the terrible online that Ninty's consoles have.

1. Cost
2. Unified service
3. Recommended specs

These are the reasons I would use a console if necessary.
