Which console can combat the PC effectively ?

When you said ignoring because they can't win that's pretty much it. The fact the console guys jump in glee when every a PC centric title is announced multiplatform says that they care, but they don't want to go toe to toe with PC otherwise.

That is one option.

Other option is ignorance regarding the system.

Other could be not caring about the system for whatever reason.

PC auto wins, so it's no point debating it. It's like Spiderman fighting Batman. It's fun to talk about that, but no one cares to bring in Thanos and his Infinity Gauntlet, Galactus, or even Thor. What's the point?

PC will always win in almost every category. PC is an upgradable Titan, and it's always going to be that way. Consoles are very limited by hardware that ages and ages. It's interesting to see these aged machines battle, since it's on near equal ground. Like Batman Vs. Spiderman, or Wolverine Vs. Sabertooth, etc.

As it is now I would say the PS3 is probably the closest to the PC at the moment. UC2 looks amazing (not as good as Crysis of course but it gives quite a few other great looking PC games a run for their money) and it's online is comparable to the PC as both primarily use dedicated servers and don't charge additional fees for online access. At this current time I would say the power of the CPU is more important than the power of the GPU in making a great game. Ace6301

You would think that, but The measly human Batman likes to run away, research his enemy, and come back with all kinds of gadgets...

Remember too, that Batman is NOT a fair fighter, he does what it takes to win, and Batman is the World's Greatest Detective.:P

I don't think either of the consoles can or should compete with the PS. PC's have a greater capactiy for power, graphics plus with a different typical interface, different genres work better on the PC.

The PS3 and 360 are closest as far as having other capabilites multimedia-wise (streaming vidoe, web browsing, etc).

The PC always seems to be ignored around here, despite it being system wars it always feels like console wars to me. When we talk of exclusives we ignore the PC as if the version doesn't exist, when we talk of online the PC never gets a shout out and most importantly with Graphics it's almost always PS3 vs 360. So Im thinking, are console gamers ignoring the PC because there is no way to fight it? I mean is the PC perfect gaming system? Surely there must be one system that can effectively fight the mighty PC....Swift_Boss_A

A variable platform inevitably surpasses a fixed platform, that is just the nature of something that is static and something that is ever changing.

2009 naturally has better hardware than what was available in 2005. A 2005 system, even with the utilization benefits of fixed hardware, cannot compete with a 2009 gaming system.

Console hardware is incapable of combating today's hardware capabilities, however as I am sure PS3 users are well aware; that hardware has to actually be utilized. Being able to customize our settings enables PC gamers to add additional resolution and polish on top of cross platform games, but to truly show off the hardware's capabilities a game has to be built for it.

The cross platform orientation of this generation is restricting the utilization of this hardware, which is pretty much the only thing that has some Cows believe PS3 stands a chance against PC. It is ironic that the very group who religiously believed in the power of Cell when no one utilized it; would then turn a blind eye to the untapped capabilities of modern hardware while criticising PC performance, it is quite hypocritical.

Batman's not a fair fighter also...

I did see Superman & Batman:Most Wanted and I wondered why Batman didn't scurry in a cave to watch Superman work.

Super man was actually stronger in the animated movie he is talking about. He could actually still fight around kryptonite unlike other shows where he just gets flat out owned by it.

Yeah. PC gaming pretty much wins.Jandurin

[QUOTE="kolkov01"][QUOTE="Jandurin"] Batman and his gadgets and his "ability to think one step ahead of his opponent" are exaggerated >_> I mean, he was fighting toe to toe next to SUPERMAN in the recent animated film thing and I was sort of like riiiiiight.Espada12

No console will ever be able to combat the PC in terms of graphics. That is pretty much a fact.

However, the real question is how can PC retake its throne as the center of gaming. PC has been losing the sales war, the critical war and the exclusives war to consoles. Yes, WoW makes a ton of money, but it's a fleck compared to the money made of Halo, Madden, Guitar Hero/Rock Band and countless other console games. And what was the last game the came out that made you fell you MUST buy a gaming caliber PC? Sorry, The Witcher doesn't count(and the sequal will be multiplat anyway). Maybe Starcraft 2/Diablo 3 will lead a resurgence of PC gaming, but there is nothing on the horizon that will lead PC gaming back to the glory days any time soon.

Incidentally Spiderman doesn't have any "gimme" weaknesses like Superman does, lol. The Marvel universe isn't that one-sided.

actually venom has two "gimme" weaknesses fire and soundkolkov01

in terms of similarities in hardware and games Id say 360, however in terms of technological ability and advancement then the PS3.

I'd say this would be true if not for the X-men.. wolverine anyone? :lol: anyway spiderman isn't exactly the strongest hero, so they won't give him a straight up weakness.

Consoles fight over who gets to be second place, next to PC.

How so? A mouse is a control scheme that detects motion. Essentially making it a motion controller. Not to mention it's more accurate and responsive than console motion controllers.

The reason why console fanboys do not talk about the PC here is because they realize that no console can match against a PC. Everything about PC gaming is lightyears above what a console can do.
