PC gaming revolves around a Hermit's life whereas a console gamer enjoys gaming in their lives amongst other things.

Right..that's why most PCgamers are 8-10 years older than console ones and also why female gamers form much bigger part of pcgaming population than console one.

LOL.. Oh please oh please oh please back this up with something. :lol:

PC gamers have more freedom when it comes to games. Game mods, messaging features, hacks (unfortunately for multiplayer games), better systems (alienware), and more diverse control systems make pc gaming a step above consoles, imo. Plus, Garry's Mod!

"The single largest group of personal computer video game players is females ages 25 to 54, accounting for approximately 29 percent of total personal computer game players… When comparing the demographic segments percent composition to the amount of minutes the group contributed to the total minutes played, the demographic segment of females 55+ clearly stands out. The demographic break of females 55+ accounts for roughly 17 percent of the unique game players, but contribute almost 26 percent of total minutes of PC game play for December 2008."

"I'm sorry, but my mom playing minesweeper doesn't count as "gaming." - Poster I'd have to agree with this guy. This web page doesn't prove anything. In fact, I'm pretty sure it would be close to impossible to actually determine how many female gamers there are, and what they play on.

Why doesn't his mom playing minesweeper count as gaming? It's a video game, no matter how casual it is.

That's like I start saying I don't count people who play call of duty:MW2 as doing actual gaming because the game is so casual.

Strange thing is gaming demographics are not what they used to be. Its not what we recognize are 'core' gaming but its still gaming. Social networking sites like Facebook are causing even more of a boom, as the Wii has to the retail market in expanding demographics of people 'gaming' (of course there are mobile platforms too). As one a guest lecturer at uni said "Gaming is dead, long live the gamer". Might not be agreeable, but there is a point to be had.

Ahh consolites. There is room in this world for both consoels and the PC. Clearly the PC is the superior platform if you have some technical knowhow but I understand that many don't.

Haha yeah, I wouldn't swap my job at the moment but I don't know, getting rid of this girl and having a break before finding another doesn't sound too bad to me ;).

[QUOTE="GTR2addict"][QUOTE="RevealingEdge"] how really ?Cait__Sith

i owned a 360, what is it worth for? i sold it for my Q6600, that's how horrible it was. also @ your sig, look at my avatar, there's my chick to bang.

YES! go Q6600! Honestly Q6600 is another godlike CPU for its time that went so well with the 8800 series. Heck I sitll use my Q6600 with my 5870 :shock:

man the q6600 is such a legendary cpu. i'm still using mine clocked at 3.8 ghz with a gtx 295 and i just dont see a reason to upgrade.

What set the Q6600 apart from the rest is the fact that even though it was the lowest C2Q, it overclocked like a rat on steroids

In my opinion it seems worse than the 360 vs PS3 argument

Megaman5364

I hate the argument. Its OK to have an opinion, and I respect those who do, but I hate it when hermits try to convert consolites. Sure, you can play your PC on a couch hooked up to the TV with a 360 controller, but do you want to? Its pretty inconvenient and expensive IMO, plus, I like console games better. I respect PC owners in their choice, but I hate it when they say its better because the mouse/keyboard combo and the graphics are better. We know, and we don't care.
