What exactly is the point of buying a xbox. PC has better graphics, all of their exclusive games, better graphics, better controls, free online, more games in addition to all of xboxes good games.

while i am content to wait, i think the obvious reason would be "not needing to wait 2 years"
|
And how long are 360 owners going to wait for Diablo 3? Starcraft 2? Dragon Age: Origins? The Sims 3? SPORE? Warhammer Online? etc.... Exactly.
While PC is waiting for Halo 3 and Gears of War 2, we are getting:
-S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl
-S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky
-Battlefield Heroes
-Quake Live
-Crysis
-Crysis Warhead
-Zeno Clash
While PC is waiting for Fable 2, we are playing:
-Dragon Age: Origins
-The Witcher
-Neverwinter Nights 2: Mask of the Betrayer
-Neverwinter Nights 2: Storm of Zehir
-Lord of the Rings Online
-Warhammer Online
See where I'm going? The people who use the "not need to wait 2 years", it's a bad excuse.

I don't like waiting 2 years.. I don't even like waiting 6 months. How is it a bad excuse?
If people want to play games that have been out for months or years then they should be prepared to be underwhelmed since anything innovative and new at the time would be considered average by the time its released on another platform.
There's also a social aspect, when Mass Effect and GTA IV came out I talked with coworkers everyday on how they progressed, we'd share stories and spoilers on crap that would happen. Tips and tricks on how to beat certain areas. It made the workdays go by faster...

It's a bad excuse because while PC gamers are waiting for the 360 ports, they are getting much more games. The PC gamer won't even feel like they're waiting, since they'll be playing great in the meantime.

That's exactly the point why I gave up playing PC and bought a 360. I was waiting forever for the really great games to come out. Grand Theft Auto, KotoR and I don't even want to mention current gen games.
It sucked and most of the PC games suck even more. At the moment I have approximately 100 Xbox 360 games and about 250 PC games and all I have to say is, that I prefer my "small" 360 collection by far.
