Microsoft's X-box 360 is clearly the worst choice a consumer who wants to play video games could make. The lack of quality games exclusive to this system is astounding. The PC, a far more advanced piece of technology, can not only play the best of X-box games, but also run them with improved visuals and higher frame rates.
Yes but it costs you more which is why people generally choose consoles to play there games, cause its cheap and effective. Every console has its exclusives, just because it isn't as extensive has the ps2 was doesn't make it any different. The ps2 had overwhelming support and the majority of the exclusive titles it had were because of this support.
Even though the X-box features the amazing Halo 3, one can be positive that the finer version will arrive on PC sooner or later. Also, very few people will actually care about Halo 3 on its destined release date; the Crysis demo, with enhanced graphics and gameplay, will seep out Halo's awe-inspiring effect. Gears of War, one of the X-box's most touted titles, makes its appearance on the PC with the entire campaign, not just a portion of it. Another exalted game can also be enjoyed on the PC with better graphics and framerate: BioShock. Even if the PC had a dearth of games, consumers can be sure that they made the right choice by obtaining a PC just by judging the quality of the hardware.
You really think the general consumer knows about Crysis? over halo? I could say /thread right there even Gears of War has more general public knowledge then Crysis
A computer is not susceptible to the infamous three red rings of death syndrome that makes a common appearance on the X-box 360. It can easily last over six years without any hardware issues, unless the owner is semi-retarded and pours Sprite into the system. On the other hand, a X-box will need to be replaced every six months. There are some lucky ones who make it past that time period, but many of them are almost "anticipating" the insufferable moment. In fact, owners of X-boxes that have survived for a year like to show off the fact to others, and then pray that their hardware will just last a little longer. Such intolerable problems are quite rare on a computer.
Every 6 months? I have my x360 for three times that and it has once even red light of anything on me. And don't act like pc don't have problems they have tons virus, spyware, malware, hardware failures, overheating failures, blue screen of death caused by inifinite loops and so on and so forth. Our platform is plagued by more problems then all the other consoles combined we are just lucky cause we aren't tech noobs, if we were it would seem like a nightmare to get our computers working properly, I use to work in a computer shop when I was doing university and the amount of people that would come in for the most easiest problem to fix in the world were completely oblivious to how to even fix it.
The X-box also lacks the pliability of the PC, which can be made to fit your life**** It can print documents, make power-points, surf the internet, organize data, create 3D art, manipulate photos, and so forth. The amount of features to be found on a computer seems endless, especially compared to those on a X-box.
If we are talking about a gaming machine vs a computer versitility then you should keep it in the context of video games cause a gaming console is just that, FOR GAMES!
It is fairly obvious that a PC provides for a superior experience and fulfills whatever needs that may be aching at your stomach. There is simply no reason to buy a X-box.
There is reasons to buy a xbox 360, a Wii or a PS3 ^_^ Cause we like gaming, and we aren't confined by just one platform in which to play it on and if your a gamer things like superior hardware don't matter. I go back often to play snes, genesis, dreamcast, playstation and N64 games, hardware doesn't make games fun!
