I'll bite

  1. Opinion - Personally, I prefer controllers and even after playing something like MP3 and RE4, I prefer the Wii Remote and Nunchuck to mouse and keyboard.
  2. That's great for when you want to do any sort of media but a giant pain in the ass when you want to do real work.  The couch works wonderful for gaming, not so great for concentrating on a paper or any type of work.
  3. So you've never had a PC blue screen, crap out, hard drive crash, get a virus, or any number of other things happen than can easily happen to a PC?  Comparing the reliability of the PC to only the 360's made in the first year or so is what we like to call cherry picking.
  4. I would like more info on that one.
  5. Again, depending on what you do.  I would bet that if you built a PC for less than $250 you wouldn't find many new games that you could or would want to play on it.  Oh, that's right, you forgot to mention that games run and look like shit on those $250 computers...
  6. Proof?  Everyone develops on the PC but when was the last time SE and Capcom made a PC game?  FFXI (one that was made for the PS2 first)?
  7. Opinion
  8. Yeah, how many of those were actually good though?
  9. Auto-patching?  Consoles have always done that.  Digital distribution?  PSN, VC, Arcade, WW, and the PSP.  Lack of a need to upgrade?  It's the PC.  To say the PC is easier is just a giant lie and I would call that borderline trolling.  To play a console game you just pop it in the console and go.  It just works.  To play a game on the PC, you have to first make sure your PC can run it, then you have to fiddle with the settings to make sure it runs as well as possible, and then you can play.
  10. Opinion
  11. Opinion -- try Live
  12. Again, cherry picking.  You're counting things like WoW where people regularly have more than one account, games like Counterstrike: Source where people haven't bought a new game in 10 years, and the hardcore Solitaire players that call themselves gamers.
  13. I guess I just imagined the article on Kotaku about the professional Halo player earlier this week?
  14. I'll give you that one.
  15. Again, opinion.
  16. I'll give you that one too.

And I haven't seen Gebx's thread, point me to it and I'm sure I can be just as critical.  :-p
