I never understood why the hell people buy a PS360 to play a nerfed version of COD4 or UT3. Why people play racing games with a controller instead of playing them with a racing wheel on the PC ...

Maybe they do because they do not have the money for a high end PC ... this is the only explanation I found so far.

 

Some people like to game on a couch and a TV, rather than a computer chair and a monitor.

Which is a moot point because PC is getting more and more popular in the living room. And it's not as if you can't use your PC on your HDTV, it's people's fault if they decide not to put their PCs near the HDTV.

 

Because using a keyboard/mouse while sitting on a couch isn't awkward in the slightest.

Also: Good luck getting any resolution higher than 1080p on an HDTV, meaning that those uber-leet resolutions every PC gamer talks about are sort of a moot point unless you're hunched over a computer desk.



"'Casual games' are something the 'Game Industry' invented to explain away the Wii success instead of actually listening or looking at what Nintendo did. There is no 'casual strategy' from Nintendo. 'Accessible strategy', yes, but ‘casual gamers’ is just the 'Game Industry''s polite way of saying what they feel: 'retarded gamers'."
