If we're only looking a the year 2000 and beyond, I'm going World of Warcraft as the most hardcore. Why? Cause people are basically devoting their lives tothat game....:?

[QUOTE="Mizarus"]i would consider it, even tho id still need a med end pc for a few other things then gaming, but yeah if it had all the strong aspects of the pc(gaming related only) and the strong aspects of a console it would be the ultimate gaming system, and the consoles are indeed evolvling we might see something like that down the futureNuclearDruid

Consoles are becoming pc's. If consoles got all those features, there would be almost no difference. And I have no doubt in my mind the companies would add extra features like web-browsing, chatting etc.

well i meant 3dmax and photoshop

Well it is impossible to tell right now, there is always the possibility of the companies granting the ability to develop games soley on the consoles that play them.

its impossible because those products retail for very high prices, those softwares alone are more expensive then most pc's out there, also they require huge amounts of RAM(3dmax, photoshop not so much) cpu and gpu(the faster the better)

main reason would still be price, and HDD sizes(i know you can change console HDD's but you can install softwares at will yet, and yes i know you can install a diferent linux on the ps3)

The issue here is that you're looking at technology now, and what will be capable later on. Technology is moving at a staggering rate, so as I've said before, it is impossible to tell what to expect right now.

consoles will always be gaming stations and pc will always be the work station, that will never change, if they do consoles wont be able to play games so smoothly anymore and will have to worry about other areas

switch to console : never

consider a console along with pc : when they have Kb +m support

i still dont get it the point of this topic, not knowing how to build a pc does not equal not being able to learn how to, anyone can learn how to build a pc and anyone can do it, if you dont want to learn its your choice that dosent rule out the fact that it is very simple and if you did wanted you would be able to.

why do people think so less of themselfs here we are sayng any can build a pc,and if people insist they can sundelly they are being arrogant.

from what i understood, on the scenario he described that woudnt happen, games woudnt be dumbed down, it would basicly be a gaming only pc plataform kind of console, being able to play games only thus requiring lower system requirements, it would have all the perks a console has and most of the advantage the pc has right now, so it would basicly be a win-win situation.

naval

well he didn't say improve, which will dumb down a game like crysis or total war. also, a game like starcraft 2 would be dumbed down to support the large number of users who would prefer controllers only.

truth, i guess some games will never be able to be done on consoles unless the console is target espcially for pc users and have most of its perks, Blizzard woudnt develop the game for a system if they had to dumb it down, its been a while since we last saw a console port from them
