Desktop, no competition. And I have both. More powerful, more comfortable and a bigger screen.angelkimne

desktop for me due to cheaper components and being able to customise it alot. i used to play on a laptop during college but getting new drivers was such a pain. i dont know if its improved since. however if laptops were fully upgradeable and customisable then i would probably use a laptop for gaming instead. u can always plug a mouse and bigger keyboard into one as well as a 5 or 7.1 surround system and a big screen.osan0

Rule number one is not to buy a labtop for gaming, because you'll end up using it like a desktop then question yourself why you even got it in the first place. They can't be upgraded and the battery life on them is worse than a PSP.zaku101

My room is too small for a desktop so I've recently bought a Vaio AW11Z/B laptop to satisfy my gaming needs. Laptops are good for casual PC gamers like myself but they're not good in the long term because they're difficult to upgrade. Plus, the performance is significantly worse when you compare it to a similar desktop.manicfoot

As much as I love my 360, yes the PS3 will pass it up soon enough. MasterKingMP

Me. I prefer playing PC games on my laptop then a desktop.

I know desktops will always be powerful be equivalantley cheaper.

the advantages of laptop vs desktop

hhmm... because I can play games mobile for maybe an hour or 2 before the batteries run out.

uuhhmm... hhm....the sales for Laptops and poplarity of laptops have really increased comparable to desktops

I think that gaming on laptops will be a serious contender over consoles .

I sometimes use my laptop as a pseudo console

by playing crysis with a wireless 360 controller and it's pluged in via HDMI to my HDTV - wala super ultra PC/console.

Guys I think PC can really dominate over the game market again via powerfull gaming laptops

I was going to get an alienware gaming laptop but I settled for a HP HDX "dragon" 20 inch laptop- My baby!!!

seriously though Laptops could be a major contenderin the future- what do you guys think?

[QUOTE="darthogre"][QUOTE="3picuri3"] you want to be a mathamagician darthogre? do the math so you can see how impossible it is for the PS3 to take over the 360 at this point. please. 3picuri3

wow, so knowing basic division makes you a "mathamagician" lol? Ok, I won't even comment further on that.

Now as far as saying it's impossible for the PS3 to take over the 360........you do realize the PS3 is still the most EXPENSIVE console ever even at being 2 years old? No console outside of the 3DO (I owned one) launched at this high of cost ($399). To say that a price drop of another $100 wouldn't just completely overtake X360 in the matter of a year is foolish. X360 has NOWHERE to drop at this point. Sony was outselling MS being nearly twice as expensive. You don't have to be a "mathamagician" to understand when the PS3 is $299 or below, X360 is going to be in 3rd place.

ps, it's spelled mathematician......I guess since I know division and spelling I should be upgraded to genius level right....I kid, I kid :)

you can quote me if you like: the PS3 will NEVER catch up the 360 before the next generation starts. it is impossible. it requires an act of god, or the 360 being proven poisonous to touch so people don't buy it at all.

blah blah blah more sales talk, cause thats the only thing lems have to use against the ps3... when did 360 fanboys start turning to sales? wasn't everyone bashing sheep for doing the same thing?Sword-Demon

Why not? it's a valid issue and a major issue at that. sadly the number of consoles sold is a strong indication of it's popularity aruge it anyway you want.

Is PS3's image good enough for it to keep attracting more customers over the Xbox360 ? It's been said that PS3 's sales rate is higher! so and if it stays considerably constant -

when will it overtake the Xbox360.?

that was the TC's question?

yes, but this thread doesn't change the fact that the attach ratio for Xbox360 is very good, obviously a substantial amount of people buy and play games on the Xbox360.

so this thread doesn't accuratley make sense.

I hear people hear saying Oh I've got a Pc, PS3 and Xbox360 but don't play games on the Xbox360.

ask your self why did you get it? Xbox360 is used to play games..

t's the games which is the best advice for people who can't decide whether to get PS3 or Xbox360.

then you can break it down.

the cost of the console.

the size of the library of games and it's quality of titles

ease of use and consistency of it's online service

the ongoing support for the games

Does it have a big library of games that can satiate your tastes,

When the PS3 hits the $299 price point.DragonFlyJ

yes, that would be very good to see. Will a $299 be competitive enough price to move that many consoles in '09-please elaborate

I would like more input, please
