Survey: PC or Console

I cant prefer one over the other. The best games I played were on both the console and the PC such as Starcraft, Final Fantasy 7, Gears of War, Unreal Tournament, Counterstrike, Zelda, Goldeneye 007, Natural Selection a Half Life mod and many more. I feel that gamers shouldnt restrict themselves to one over the other and if they do then they are probably missing out on something very special.

For me its the PC... but Console will win this poll (especially on System wars). The PC market is niche.rpg9000owner

That's why PC is winning? lol

Console...

PC is way to much work to keep up to date and a money pit.

Back in the day... My 586 lasted me 5 years with a RAM upgrade and 2 video card upgrades. Nothing like running a 400-500 MHz game on a 200 MHz Pentium with MMX and 128 MB of EDO RAM.

Built me a high end rig in 2001 didn't even last me 2 years and I needed a video upgrade. Then on top of that 3 and half years later it was worthless to run games on and still look good. I had 1.5 GB's of SDRAM in that bad boy too. In the Counter Strike survey I ranked in the top 1% with my PC.

PC's life these days just keep getting shorter. Not worth the money and time.

Spoken like a cheap mofo who couldn't keep up with technology so he buys inferior non upgradable consoles to play inferior graphics to save a buck

Yeah, it must be a first.

Console for library building - I'm extremely prone to losing CD-keys, and I'm just generally bad at maintaining PC games, I only keep perhaps half a dozen games on my PC at a time. For example, right now I have Halo, Oblivion, Starcraft, Fear multiplayer, Sega Swirl, and Grid Wars.

There just aren't enough PC games out there I want in the genres I like, when I get an Xbox 360 I probably won't be getting a new PC game for a long time. I enjoy PCs for the hardware aspect, but just too many of my favorite games aren't on there.

Wow, PC is winning.

As for me, I prefer PC more than consoels. I grew up with PC gaming and will continue on with it. I jsut can't get rid of the KB/M combination.  

I prefer consoles, PC games don't have much to offer to me.

[QUOTE="AdrianWerner"]PC easily. Next-gen consoles don't have anything I'm interested in aside from maybe LittleBigPlanet, while at the same time there's about 30 upcoming pcgames I want, so the choice is obvious for meturgore

I won't argue with your tastes  but as a guess : do you  like RTSs ?

Yes...RTSes, Turn-based strategy, economic sims, wargames, adventure, simulators, puzzle...all of those bassicaly Pc-only genres. 

from racing I prefer racing sims(which are better on Pc), I prefer wRPGs((which are better on Pc) over jRPGs and I find FPSes unplayable on pads 

Interesting, PC has 60% of the votes with 154 votes in. I'd have to say I agree, the PC has more than enough gaming goodness.

The console vote should pick up when the little kids get home from school.

Little kids? Wow...you're a class act.

Oh yeah? Hmm Geforce Ti 4600 cost me $350 when it came out. Lasted me 1 Year and it broke. To bad the company went under because I had a life time warranty on it. So I was stuck with a broken card.

I had a Geforce Ti 500 before that. It broke a year later... So they gave me 2 Geforce Ti 4200 (in picture). One is still in my old computer stashed away.

I had a Geforce 2 Even before that. Which was sold long ago.

How many people do you know that buy new mother boards just for the new revisions? Cost me over $100 a pop.

I only ever bought the best. 

You have been owned!

New revs? Nope.WhySoCry

Exactly... I was the uber hard core PC geek back then.

I still like PC gaming. But when it comes to costs, time and hassles... You can't beat a console.

I can't believe how much the pc is winning by. We have a lot more hermits here than I thought. Or at least, they aren't as talkative and annoying as the console fanboys... :lol:dgsag

[QUOTE="Meu2k7"]-.- PC is a damn console! this comparison is ridiculous, a console doesnt mean a stand alone machine, even the handhelds are classified as freaking consoles.Meu2k7

Actually, aren't consoles technically PCs?

I guess, Xbox.com has PC as a console, so Im just meeting them halfway by sayinf theyre all alike.

Yeah consoles are just standardized simplified PCs in a box. They were unique platforms until Xbox set out to blend the 2 and essintially ruin both.

PCs are possible gaming platforms but its not standardized in any way like consoles. 

Well, this is surprising. PC is winning in the poll.Einhanderkiller

I'm not, I mean just look at the comments on these boards, also I remember my JRPG vs. WRPG thread too.
