1) Standardization across hardware 2) All my friends are on one online service 3) Cheaper upfront 4) Retail support is easier (matters to me, since I am not always assured of online connectivity) 5) In case my system stops working, identifying the error is swift and after service support is really easy Please note that I am not slagging off on PC gaming. I am just answering the question asked.

  1. Ease of use
  2. Lower cost
  3. Full controller support
  4. Much simpler plug and play (simple updates)
  5. Play games exclusive to the consoles better :P

Portal 2. You get the ps3 verison and the PC version. That's right, a multiplat valve game better on a console.

1. Privilege of Being Charged to Play Online. 2. Consoles can drastically change their direction plans. One day it can be a hardcore box, the next, a casual box. First Party controls where everything goes, they own the console. (On PC, for change to happen, it would take the approval of a majority and/or good sized amount of gamers.) 3. More Expensive Games. 4. Cheaper Hardware but More Expensive Everything Else (Accessories, etc.).

sami117

Not really, plug and play means exactly that, you plug in and can play instantly. Ease of use comes from things such as standardized UI, made incredibly simplistic for more ease of use. Plug in and play isn't even remotely akin to full controller support :? Games have full controller support, which PC doesn't offer.

Not likely. PC can't win when I say that consoles do specific game franchises better. The fact they don't exist on PC automatically means the console does it better.

So,by playing on a console you think the society doesn´t see you as a nerd as well?

It´s sad to see gamers saying stuff like this tbh.

You're comparing apples and oranges there, pal. I didn't say console exclusives were better. I said the fact they are not on PC means consoles do it better.

Well,considering the style of games you play,you also fall into that nerd category. If you mostly just played CoD and Madden then that would be a different story. ;)

Ease of use.

Ease of use.

Possibly

More social gaming experience

Join an online community in a game like TF2 or CS:S or BF and try again

When you a buy a game you know it will run perfectly

not always the case

Last longer

Not always a good thing

Are easy to use media hubs

So is my PC

Have more casual games

Browse the casual and free to play section on Steam sometime

Better racing games

They take up less space...that's about it.

They don't do anything better than PC's actually, other than maybe simplifying the complexity of a PC down.

Local multiplayer, nuff said. Yes, you can go LAN on the PC, but nothing beats the feeling of trash talking friends playing in the same room together.

But the PC version was 10 bucks cheaper on release. So you'd be paying 10 bucks more...to also get a PS3 version.

1. Plug and Play (Which is debate-able) 2. Easy of use (Again debate-able) 3. Helps hardware not evolve to fast(In a good way) 4. Split Screen, easily(PC can still do it) 5. Exclusives.

This is doable.

1. Split Screen

2. JRPGs

3. Cheaper down payment

4. No anti-piracy measures like DDR (must be online to play games)

5. Standard hardware (so games can be optimized)

But I do that with Fifa on the PC as well...and with PES as well,it´s exactly the same thing for those games.

There´s a ton of PC games with split screen,contary to popular belief.

But it has measures against the used games market though,and now even Rage has that for the single player on the console versions.

It´s slowly going the same way the PC is.
