Yes but that's because Crysis doesn't exist on a console.. If it did and it looked inferior, then yes I could compare, but it isn't so..

If you need proof, take shots of the best looking PC games and compare them to the best of consoles.

well just tell him that most new games need 4 times the ram as the consoles to run on max and some newer games coming out need a 8800gts to run on max which is 2-3 times more powerfull than the consoles gpu

It really depends on the game. But more often than not, yes.

It really depends on the PC. Most people don't have PC's that will run games nicer than their 360 or PS3, or even their Wii.

Of course. Many people's PC's don't even have a distinct graphics card..

I disagree. Most PC gamers(people that play PC games not "people with a PC") have decent graphic cards to play even the latest games at medium. I think there are a lot more poeple with nice rigs our there than you may think.

Wait for Bioshock to be released. Get some DX10 screenies and compare them with your friend to the 360 version.

Ok, show him Half Life 2, Oblivion, Battlefield 2, and Far cry as a few examples.

Obvious.

When they make games, they make it on a PC or Macusing Keyboard and mouse. You really think they make games for the last 30 yrs using a controller connected to a console with how many buttons? lol

You and your friend should learn a little about computer hardware, then you will both see it all around you, pc's are a generation ahead in the hardware department already.

Good graphics isn't making PC gaming fun. I got a Q6600 with a 8800gtx and I have more fun with my 360.

Basically I'm waiting for Crysis which is at the end of the year - yaaaa!!!

What a waste. I would never upgrade my rig just for one game. That just ludicris. Its just like the people who are buying a 360 just to play halo3. There are tons of games coming out for PC that warrant a PC upgrade. Bioshock, two worlds, stranglehold(supposedly lead platform), Midieval 2 total way kingdom, world in conflict, Quake wars, HL2 ep 2, portal and team fortress 2,clive barkers jericho, timeshift, hellgate london, gear of war, COD4, COH: opposing fronts, empire earth 3, SupComp forged alliance, Supcomp, STALKER, crysis, and millions of other titles. Most of the titles i listed. PC is the main platform.

A lot of those aren't going to be worth playing. I was going to upgrade this summer, but I'm only excited for UT3, and maybe Crysis, and also, maybe Spore, but that isn't coming for a long while...

Seriously, PC isn't always the best platform. It depends on what you like.

"The PC" has the potential to be more powerful than either console on the market but after playing the Bioshock demo for 360 and seeing the system requirements for the PC version I don't think the gap has ever been smaller and the price difference between the two wider. Meaning the value of a PC as a top flight gaming machine has shrunk to an all time low.

 You can't be serious. You must be extremely picky if you don't find the vast ammounts of great titles coming to the PC interesting.

Please give it a rest already. My rig blows the 360 away. Trust me, the gap os huge.
