I have nothing against PC-gaming. And it may come as a surprise to you but I too have a PC. When I play on it I use DOSBox to fire up good old games like Quest for glory, Elvira, Monkey Island. I have even played HL2 and Doom3 on it but I didn't find those games to be that good, really. The reason why I now prefer consoles is because they offer games that better suit my needs. Also I'm sick and tired of all the hassle PC has caused me during all these years.

Then tell me. Why is it that Resident Evil 4 on a high-end PC doesn't look as good as on the Game Cube. We are talking about GAME CUBE here folks. A machine with 40 MB total memory and a CPU running at 433MHz. These specs aren't even enough to start windows.

The developer for Alan Wake said that it will look as good as on a high end PC. The reason why they keep delaying the game is because it needs a quad-core to run. Now, how many PC-gamers of today has a Quad core in their PCs?

The "nird-rank" you get is based on how many hours you spend every week playing games. To be labled "geek" you need at least 10 hours of gaming / week.

CONSOLE>PC

This is obvious...you have to be a geek to think otherwise. The genre of games is limited to FPS, strategy and on-line RPG, that doesn't make a good gaming platform in my eyes. Fighting games are one of the most played genres.

Graphics you say... Well Crysis do look good. But the developer said that the Crysis engine will also be used in future titles down the road and those titles might even feature enhanced graphics. Also, Alan Wake already looks better than Crysis and it is for the XBOX360.

As for the controller. Playing with M/K setup is so uncomfortable and so old. When I play games I want to play games not have the same kind of feedback I get from typing documents in Word.

Installing games and all the hassle with Vista, virus, spyware etc. has made the PC such an irreliable platform.

PC-gaming was cool back in the days when you had to hack in the autoexec.bat and config.sys files to get games working in DOS. Then PC-gaming was for nirds, now PC-gaming is for pampered babies.

If we include games in production I would say:

Alan Wake>Crysis>Gears
