There are only 2 genres that the PC beats consoles in and thats RTS's and MMO's Unless you completely love those 2 genres there is really no reason to own a PC. Lets compare 2007 and up to currently 2008 between the PC and the Xbox 360. Ive excluded games that appear on both and included games that have huge score differences (more than 15%).

Why is it that hermits throw the phrase around the pc has the best lineup with the most variety when comparing thier precious pc's to a console such as the XBOX 360 or PS3.
THIS IS NOT A DISCUSSION ABOUT HARDWARE, ONLINE GAMING COSTS, CONSOLE PRICE!!!!
This thread is merely a discussion about the myth that PC's have better games than consoles. It makes me laugh that all these hermits make these threads about how to build a gaming rig for almost as cheap as a console. But whats the point. As you can see from this list consoles have much more quantity and variety of great games.
Well atleast your beating consoles in RTS's. Ill give you that much. ;)
