Does a 9600 GT plus Dual Core plus 2.5 gig of RAM count? I don't really care though, I have every console this gen and my PC can handle most games just fine, most recently Dragon Age,maxed aswell, mind you I have only tested 2 or 3 games :lol:.

No, its PS3 and gaming comp. I made this thread because of a question asked and the stereotype that all PS3 owners have gaming PCs.

WTF!?!?!!!?! Only 2 people have posted PROOF, and the poll says 9 people!!!!, I swear to *** who ever is messing wiht my poll I will find you!!!

technically wy work laptop is capable of playing most current games, but i have never used it for gaming. My personal PC is just too old(although I did play The Movies on it) and my kids are always on it anyway

My god 15 pages needed for a common sense question do games on a console count as playable during a library comparison with the PS3. LOL!!!!

The only number of people in samples you can't use is one.

In samples you keep asking until another answer comes up. So you keep asking until someone says yes and then you can stop. So let's say you ask 3 people, the first 2 say no adn the last say yes. From there you can stop and determine 1 in 3 people have a pencil.

This is common sense. :|

Another thing - to some people, inlcuding myself (not many here in SW, but a lot in the real world) the fact that many PC(type) games are playable on consoles in general and 360 more specifically is a good thing. I am a console gamer mainly but have always dabbled in PC gaming (my favorite game ever might be WCII), so the fact that many 360 games are PC ports is a good thing to me.

How would a larger size make it more accurate if it's random? :| Do you know how percentages and ratios work? This is basic math we're talking about here. The results of a random sample of 100 people will be the same as the results of a 1000-person sample if both are random.

I really don't care about the SW game. I don't play it. - Look at my post count(low), my level(somewhat high) and how long I have been here(2004). I am just logical. A muliplat on two systems is not the same as a mulipllat on four. Do there need to be differnet definitions - who knows, who cares? It's not like it's going to change.

In fact I guess I did try to play the 'SW game" before I realized it was game and made a thread about giving different values to multiplat depending on how many systems it was on - Didn't get many favorable reponses. Now that I have realized it is a game, I choose not to play, until someone discusses real world scenarios here. Then I (might) join in.

I know the rules of System Wars and the fascination with the 'exclusives' - just don't bring that argument into the real world and how these companies go about doing business - it just doesn't fly.

Mostly I just like to read the ridiculous things people write here and it seems news gets here first. Sometimes if you are lucky a real debate occurs, but that is very rare and almost always gets derailed quickly.

It was in response to you asking how one plays the SW game that way. That is why I responded about myself and not playing the game. Again this debate crept into the real world and how multiplats do/don't effect teh competition. In the real world they do - I don't care how they effect teh SW game.

Do you even know how samples work? As long as it's random, the results will be almost the same no matter the size of the sample.

That's not 100% true. the larger the sample size the smaller the variable. 100 people will have a much larger variable (+/-) than 1000 or 2000 when representing millions. THat is why presidential polls use 2000-4000 respondents usually. Also a good example is the Nielsen ratings. I forget the actually number but I believe they have over 10,000 families to represent all the TV household in America.

Well here is the numbers from Nielsen themselves -

National People Meter Sample
There are approximately 5,000 households in this sample. The number fluctuates daily, as about 300-400 households come in and out of the sample every month.

[QUOTE="Cait__Sith"] Yeah 5000/34000000 is not an accurate representation. I mean thats a 0.014% of all 360 owners...lolpavalooo
