I hardly believe that only 2-3% of Xbox 360 owners play PC games, especially considering PC had over 260 millions gamers in 2007.

While Xbox 360 is getting games that otherwise would've been exclusive to PS3 or PC, the PS3 is also getting a few that would've been Xbox 360 only. On the other hand, PC is getting nearly all of Xbox 360's best games, while X360 is getting but a fraction of PC's best.

And it's not just $200, is it? There's XBLG that you need to get if you intend to play any online game, and the games are also more expensive than the PC gets.

Does playing Frecell and Flash games count as using your PC for games? 

The reality is that PC gaming is a crapshoot.  You buy and hope it works.  You get some interesting jack in the box surprises, like having EVERY expansion and Civ4 work, but Beyond the Sword not work, due to disk protection that calls for one to end up having to do a BIOS update to MAYBE have it work?  WTF?  Also, my laptop in no way can keep up with the graphics my 360 does, and it won't accept a graphic cards update.  And my tower PC, the 1.5 Ghz glory, fell behind.

And answer me why I to spend about twice what I need to, if not more, in order to get the same games I can run on my 360?

PC gaming has gone the way of the doodoo for me.  I am no mood now for running Mad Onion demos to get high rating scoring and HOPING if I buy a PC game, it will work.  The idea is to GAME, not WORK and hope.  And don't give me this look of, "Well if you weren't just a lazy person, and would take care of your PC, well you wouldn't have problems".  I have to say B.S to that.  There are things far more important to take esteem in, then what platform you play your games on.
