Why some console gamers refuse to accept this fact?

( PC ) A-class gaming platform
( 360/ps3/wii ) B-class gaming platforms
( mobiles, tablets, handhelds ) C-class gaming platforms

In what sense of "gaming"? Pick up and play? hardcore? Ease of use? You can't slap gaming onto absolutely every form of device and give it a score.

That's dumb as hell. I'd take Pokemon Blue over 99% of PC and console games. And Zelda games are more fun for me then any PC game.

lol, no console gaming has always been first class for me. I feel the over all quaity of console games tend to be higher than PC games. also PC gaming requires you to be heavily invested into the platform tweaks to configuration, mods, keyboad an mouse and such to get full enjoyment. on consoles, it's striaght out the box and play (for the most part).

Lastly, Games make platforms not necessarily the system itself. Some hermits don't seem to understand that.

But PC Gaming is better! It's free, has the best multiplats and best performance, the prices on Steam are unrivalled and PC does everything consoles do but better plus many more!!!!!! Yet consoles are still incredibly popular, doesn't that tell you something TC? I think it basically says "Who gives a crap just put the Xbox on".

All gaming systems have there own benefits. PC is good for somethings, console is good for somethings, Smartphones and tablets are good for somethings. Anyone who believes that one system is the master of all forms of gaming is a narrow minded idiot.

Its hard to argue against PCs horsepower, mods, and control over their games. Consoles still have decent enough hardware and all the best games though.

Overall, i agree with your statement.

Depends on the game itself. I wouldn't consider Facebook games A-class games just because they're on the PC. In terms of potential PC because its a open platform. What bugs me is that most console fanboys think better harder = better graphics only.

There is no "superior" system since they are all pretty much doing the same thing and that's playing video games.

That's merely your opinion.

But it's a fact that not every single game that's available on consoles is available on PC. That's one of the main reasons some console gamers don't flock to PC gaming, even if they are graphics whores.

Just seems like something many PC gamers on here overlook. Multi-plats are nice and all, but there are too many high-profile games that never make to PC.

If someone stuck a gun to my head and made me choose, I'd choose the PC. In reality, I don't really care and I'm a PC gamer. It just so happens my favorite games are on the PC. I might even do a bit of flag-waving for the PC. But, I can also have a lot of fun playing console games.

I'm just trolling... I love my PC and all but still like my consoles. I was actually pointing out that just because PC does everything better doesn't automatically mean it's best. Well it does on paper, but we don't play video games on paper so any and all comparisons are already pointless because it's not a competition about the best gaming system, just a competition for fanboys to try and "win" at Video-Game Politics and since video games aren't politics then they've not actually won anything other than bragging rights which is why we hate Elitists anyway.

Click_Clock

Your catchphrase is even more pathetic,it's neither clever,nor catchy.It's just a bad tongue twister :?

On the other hand,yeah,another pointless elitist thread...

TC,your "classes" aren't defined at all,and honestly,who cares,console gamers know they aren't getting the "best" experience possible,but that doesn't matter to them,since they're having fun with their systems,they're satisifed with games,simplicity,lower up-front prices,etc...

Technically superior? sure. But it takes too much work for me to play them they way I want to play most games on the PC. So for me it's just easier to go the console route, less of a headache.

In terms of facts, the OP is correct.

PC gaming always has, every gen: (compared to any single console)

1. The most games

2. The most exclusives

3. The most genres

4. The best gfx

5. The best online

6. The most/best features (MODS, Open System, more dedicated servers, games with more players per level, more F2P, indy, flash, casual, social etc.)

7. The most players, and more used world wide (concurrent and total) (also results in the most game unit sales than any single console)

8. The best version of "90%" of multiplats.

Your opinion on how MMO/RTS dont' count are irrelevant, PC is factually the best every gen.

PC hardware is undeniably better. but in the end gaming is about the games not the hardware and some people just prefer console games. It's not that hard to understand really. Personaly PC is my favorite system, but we all have different criterias and it's not all about hardware.

Completely disagree. My gaming preference just happens to line up with your OP. PC>PS3>Wii>360 and I dont care much for handheld gaming. But that is just my preference and the truth is good games are good games, the platform hardly matters.
