@silv3rst0rm: Games run fine on consoles. The better the graphics have gotten lately the more demanding the "elite" gamers have gotten. I have never had issue with running a game on a console, my pc however, I don't have the money to make it a gaming computer and it is long out of date. I do not like tweaking the graphics settings just to make it run smoothly, I put a console game in and it's ready to go. Some people might not like it and that's their right but this graphics card costs more than just buying a console and my computer is still not guaranteed to run games if I buy this card.
This is why I prefer consoles. A console is guaranteed to play the game I bought for it and I don't need to buy new graphic cards for it. But of course their "mid lifetime" upgrades they're looking at are trying to take that away from me.
@tsunami2311: I'm completely fine with just having a disk. I like downloading old video games that aren't expensive but anything I pay 60 bucks for I want a physical copy of it.
....why? I totally want to be streaming a game and then have it quit if my internet gives out. I totally want a streaming game that can be unplayable if the server goes down. I would so love it if hackers attacked the streaming system like they did to playstation network for days on end so I can't play my video game.
I know, let's turn them into computers. But not ones you can custom build. We can come out with a new upgrade that costs like 200 dollars every two months or so. And if you don't get the upgrades your games will run like shit.
The reason I buy console games is simple. A console is guaranteed to play the game you buy for it, I don't need the newest best version of the console, I don't need to tweak graphic options to make it run smooth, I don't need to download extra programs to fix it not playing right. Buy the console, pop in the game, it plays. But let's take that away shall we?
