Because PC gamers had HD, before the term was invented. Because PC gamers had online multiplayer, before online match making was concieved. Because most PC gamers also owned a console before consoles had HD or online, yet they still enjoyed it, didnt they? A true PC gamer knows that a game without online or HD can still be fun.

360 and PS3 try to mimmick my pc...fruitelessly. The Wii doesn't pretend to be a pc, and that's why it's interesting to me.Arsuz
The 360 and PS3 are not trying to mimmick the PC. If that was the case it would come with business software, media player, calculator, solitaire and a bunch of other useless stuff that doesn't revolve around gaming.

You mean stuff like the blu-ray? IP-TV? Downloadable movies? Online poker? Other simple games? Face it.
Consoles are tredding behind the PC every generation. Only now they have entered the "HD ere". To me HD just means high resolution. To you it means 720P! PS3 to have mouse and keyboard support for UT3? X360 to be a media centre extension? Hard drives? Online browsing?
Sure consoles are not mimmickin PC's :roll:

The 360 doesn't have a browser. It doesn't support keyboard/mouse either. Both the PS3 & XBox 360 are trying to be entertainment and media giants. The PC market isn't focusing on that. The PC's main focus has been internet, business software, PC maintenance, online banking and making like easier using a PC. It's main focus isn't even on games. That's a fact. Go read Forbes. Consoles are about games. It's not trying to compete with the PC, which is why it's always behind the PC. M$ already owns most of the PC market as it is, why would they need to compete with it with the 360? :lol: That would make no sense. Get it through you heads, the PC is not in competition with game consoles.

nope, ms doesn't own the pc market and if you think pc is not in competition wiht consoles you are deluding your self. or maybe you are just saying this to make you feel better for your little 360 :)

I don't know what you're talking about... I think the Wii is complete trash. I mean, I respect anyone'sdecision for buying one, hey it's your money... but I still think it's an example of a bad investment... being overcharged for 6 year-old hardware n' such. Course, I would still play mine if there were some good games available. Lately I just use Virtual Console.
Unlike most Hermits, I don't hate the 360 exclusively. I hate all consoles equally.

Actually that Blu-Ray was in a console far before it was in a pc so in that aspect pc's are mimicking consoles. And Consoles are treadding behind pc's every generation? Um in what way? I get a hell of alot more life out of any console so please explain whatyou meanhere. As for consoles trying to be pc's well thats half true. Consoles are simply taking the entertainment portion of pc's and adding those functions in which I personally think is great.

This says you're wrong:
We believe that the PS3 will be the place where our users play games, watch films, browse the Web, and use other [home] computer functions. The PlayStation 3 is a computer. We do not need the PC.Phil Harrison
Embarrassing, Phil.
Graphics has always been an upfront on PC, and since current console match those of PC games they will defend it. Which is true, PC graphics will surpass console ones once again... and always will. They just praise the Wii because they realized that graphics aren't anything and did something new.Bartz_Has_Bite
well generally pc gamers always put gameplay > graphics. just look at how many pc gamers keep playing old games time and time again.
what you just said made me realize the hypocrisy of lemmings/cows - most of them in the previous gen kept on saying graphics doesn't matter, itz the gampelay, but now they look down on wii because of that
Hermits bashing the 360 and PS3 graphics? I haven't seen that. >_>PannicAtack
We don't, actually. It's just that some console owner ends up making a thread comparing a console game's graphics to Crysis, or something equally idiotic, and we respond. We don't go out of our way to bash graphics that are inferior by default. That would be pointless.

ya but for once the consles namely the PS3, are makign an advance over the PC, the PS3 is a PC, an extremely powerfull PC, made for gaming, with things like
open GL (can beused to producebetter than DX 10 ifdone right)+ Cell + RSX + blu-ray + 3.2 ghz ram = somehting amazing, until i see a PC playing games on bluray ( i know compressing and crap dont start, still not as effective) and run with the cell which can give extra power to a graphics card, the PS3 is ahead of a PC, i dont care if ppl say oooo a quad core is better than the cell, maybe one on one, but not for some things, the cell is not intel, it runs diffrently, and when used wiht the added components in the PS3 you get something good
but w/e i own a gaming PC/PS3/WII...no 360 thats crap

It should be console wars. I don't see any major business companies comparing PC software sales with console software sales. You don't even see NPD keeping track of PC Software sales. Why? Because it's irrelevant compared to console software sales. Even PC magazine, who actually track some PC software sales, don't make any comparisons to what console software sales are doing. You think Gateway, Dell, & Alienware believe they are in competition with the PS3, 360 and Wii. :lol: No... just no!!

Are you sure you know enough pc gamers, lemmings and cows (intersting you say pc gamers instead of hermits) to make that opinion? Halo 2 has more live activity than numerous 360 games with superior graphics which makes me believe that they are not playing Halo 2 for its visuals. Even if your statement is true, then why do people always mention how Bioshock can play at higher resolutions and faster framerates on a pc? The fact that the posters usually combine mod support (I am looking forward to some of the great mods that pc gamers are expecting for Bioshock) to their reasons for pc superiorty, along with better visuals, is irrelevant.

well i go to pc forums a lot i guess i can give a opinion about pc gamers. also, eveything being same, better framerates, resoultions and visulas are always welcomed.
Probably becasue the Wii isn't trying to be a PC wanna be. It walks a different path. A new path. The Wii path 8)DivergeUnify
I /cried all over your post, am sorry. It was my own words but I did not type them XD
Something about how many games are becoming 'timed exclusives' is really off-putting. Also there's a lot of difference between a PC and a Wii - and that combination rocks my boat.

Ya but you know what? When looking forward to the next generation in consoles or PCs you kind look forward to the advances in technology not a step backwards.
I don't bash the graphics of PS3 and xbox 360. I don't care. All I care is PC will be having great games. I don't care if its not exclusive. I have never cared for exclusivity for pc since I was a pc only gamer for 10 years. Not all pc gamers care only graphics like sony and microsoft fanboys who are always comparing graphics and graphics.I always had the low-end cards just to be able to play pc games so I don't usually max out games but this time I will be having an 8800 GTS 320 to max Crysis with 1280x1024 res. Woohoo!
BTW, Wii is my first console and it's extremely unique and very interesting. PCWiiDS is such a wonderful combination. There are tons of games I would like to play on my pc, wii and ds.

Fail. Consoles ARE computers by definition.
The only difference is that consoles traditionally can't do anything other than play games. This is obviously changing though as consoles become more and more like personal computers instead of dedicated gaming machines.
Consoles are on their way to extinction. Soon they'll be the same as PCs.
