They aren't the most comfortable, they aren't the most high tech, they don't have the most precise controls or the most comfortable, they aren't the cheapest, nor are they the most expensive. |
Actually a PS3 or 360 is optimal if you want both power and ease of use. Compare the experience of someone that knows very little about drivers, computer hardware, patches, etc going out and buying a gaming PC to hook up to a HDTV compared to someone doing the same thing with a PS3 or 360. It would be like someone wanting a decently fast car but not having to worry about how the engine works, etc, compared to someone that buys a fast car and has to tinker with the engine from time to time.
I have relatives that have a console and also have a PC that they sometimes use for games. They call me from time to time with problems with certain games they've purchased but they have yet to call me because they couldn't figure out how to get a game working on their console. Anecdotal I know but I've also been on some forums dedicated to certain PC games and see a lot of problems with drivers, videocards, etc.
