@strothers101 @hrst1 @Ehggsz Most MMO's and especially shooters like Counter Strike 1.6 and Team Fortress 2 are virtually unplayable with a controller.
Why would anyone buy a console this gen instead of a PC?
You may be thinking that it is much more expensive. And it is upfront, but after a while all the value comes in the PC.
Suppose you buy the Alienware 14, which starts at $1200 (the PC I use for gaming costs $650 from www.dell.com, but I have to turn the graphics down, which is okay for me, but many people may not like it). $1200? Expensive, right? Not that much.
For starters, there is actual productivity. Word, Excel, PowerPoint.
You get different control choices - mouse and keyboard, controller...
Games on Steam are cheaper (I have only heard of this, I don't BUY games from Steam)
