The funniest thing about PS3 fans is that every argument they can throw at other consoles, specifically the Wii, can be used by the PC fans to show that the PS3 is just a mediocre piece of gaming hardware. OH THE IRONY!

Ok I am going to actually take the time out of my day to respond to this...
While PC as a gaming console will always out match those of a console, it is still not viable as such. There are a few reasons while PC gamers get over looked, don't get many big budget releases, and get talked down to.
1. PC gaming is an exspensive venture for the average consumer. I mean look at Crysis, you have to invest in a $1200 computer to simply run it on MEDIUM. PC gaming demands top of the line hardware and it gets rather costly. It will never be more affordable then consoles. Even if certain PC gamers know how to get cheaper fixes on their computers, the fact of the matter is that the common consumer does not.
2. Console's whole entire perpose is mostly focused on gaming. The PS3 deterres from this a bit but in all it wants to establish itself as the ultimate Entertainment System. PC's tend to have many other tasks involved with it, keeping it from the average consumer eye. Also these other purposes mean you must also shell out somemore cash then those who simpy use their PC/console for gaming.
3. Piracy is rampant within PC gaming. Many companies found that they were not churning out any significant profit from PC games. DMC virtually made none from piracy and lack of interest on PC. Look at Spore, over 4000 people since the last time i checked have downloaded Spore for free off the internet. I am sure that number is much much higher now. This is less likely to happen on consoles.

Very valid point. I got Crysis when it came came out, and played it on a month old £1000 (!) PC (close to $2000), and in some places it struggled to run it on medium! I mean it was on gorgeous 1680 x 1050 resolution, but still...

1. That's funny, cause it ran on my brother's $650 rig on high.
2. What happened to PS3 fans going on all about how the Wii has shit for functionality for not even being able to play DID games? If you are gonna flame other consoles for lack of Blu-ray and what not be prepared to take the same flak from PC gamers. Also, a PC is the only true way to set up your entire home entertainment just the way you want it to your specifications, not the PS3.
3. I'm not gonna argue with the piracy, it does exist. But were you really expecting a cheap port such as DMC to sell well on the PC? PC gamers don't like anything that hints thatthe game is also on a console, like Unreal Tournament 3. the biggest offense to a game is if it feels consolish. I'm one of those pople that dowloaded tSpore last night, my copy is arriving in the mail soon, I just didn't want to wait 5 more days, but they do still get my money.
My point is that everything that a PS3 fan can use against the wii such as: functionality, graphics, depth of games, etc. Goes double for the PC aginst the PS3, so maybe instead of PS3 fans making asses of themselves they shoud just stfu?
