no its not. no you dont, and no. and eventually youll have to buy a new console. so reason number 1 dies

2. again no. hows is 'lugging' a pc any different than lugging a console? theyre not much bigger. theres no more wires. theres nothing different. so reason number 2 dies.

3. o really and just how many console games allow that these days? reason number 3 dead

4. use a controller you said it yourself, and if youre getting owned unless its like counterstike or UT2k4 or quake 3 you just suck. reason number 4 dead.

thanks for playing try again

unfortunately for you my points were right. 1. 400 for a console is a lot less than 1000-2000 for a gaming console, even if you buy two-three different generations of consoles. 2. PCs are normally MUCH bigger. 3. Are you serious? I live in college, and all people do is play split screen and system link, especially on the newer games (Halo 3, MW2). FAIL. 4. Controller isn't as good as a mouse, and since everyone uses a mouse PC gaming, you are dealing with a handicap. FAIL

Reason #1 It is much more convenient and easy to console game. With PCs, you have to know how to build a PC, or drop bank to buy a new one. And even if you did drop a ton of money on a new one, you would eventually have to buy a graphics card and know how to do that without destroying your computer. Most people don't want to take the risk.

Reason #2 The ability to play on the couch. Most people don't want to sit in front of a desk, they want to relax on their couches. Yea you can do that with the PC, but it's so much more of a hassle, lugging that thing around, than it is an Xbox of Playstation.

Reason #3 Ease of local multiplayer. It's far easier to pick up and play with buddies on a console than it is a PC. Again, this may be a mobility factor, but also the ease of just picking up a controller and turning it on.

Reason #4 Because people like the controller more than the mouse and keyboard. I sure do, the mouse and keyboard you have to be at desk, the controller you do not. Now people will say you can use a controller on the PC, but if you do, you get blown out of the water by everyone with a mouse and keyboard. Controllers aren't as precise as a mouse. It just doesn't become fun when you're getting rocked.

Overall more gamers enjoy consoles over PCs, that's just the way the cookie crumbles.
