I wouldn't call it much of a stipulation... someone on the low end of the low in terms of hardware is unlikely to know much about tweaking the settings unless they are a masochist or stuck with an extremely poor computer for gaming due to circumstance.

 

Almost every computer game available now will automatically adjust the best settings for your computer.  That's pretty pointless.  Simply but dropping the resolution to the 800x600 or 640x480 results will dramatically improve.

Your whole entire premise for arguing in this thread has been the claim that, "I can play that on PC so why buy the 360?"

You then make even more ridiculus assumptions that gamers accept integrated graphics and games at their lowest resolutions and settings.

Did you ever once stop and think your argument through?  The people who buy PC's with integrated graphics, the ones that don't care about high details and high resolutions, the ones that you are arguing for so profusely, are NOT the ones that would even consider an HD console or its games in the first place!

 


Is this fact?  So just to double check your logic here.    If you purchase cheap PC, you = not willing to consider an HD console.  Correct?   Superb point.     

Average people don't go out and specifically buy PC's with/for integrated graphics. They go out and purchase a new PC and just want something that is solid and on the cheap side. Your assertion was that people couldn't play games with integrated graphics (Which you were proven wrong).  The point that was being made was that someone who has a newer PC,  will be able to not be very concerned with their ability to run many of the newer games on the market and almost every good PC/360 game.

 

The whole reason people try to say "Well I can just play that on my PC," is because they own a gaming PC that is meant for playing games very well and do not see a point in a console. 

Really?  My brother doesn't own a gaming PC. His PC is probably 3 - 4 years old.  Yet he plays Mass Effect, Gears of War, Oblivion, etc. 

 

However, the people that do not care about HD gaming, the ones you are constantly arguing on their behalf, would never even care for this comparison in the first place.  Gaming to those users is a casual afterthought.  If they really meant to do a lot gaming on (or equivalent to a console's gaming use), they would have purchased or built a PC capable of doing that at great performance levels.

 

Since when am I arguing on the behalf of people who do not care about HD gaming?   I'm arguing on the behalf of people who have a relatively newer PC (For whatever purpose they desire) regardless of quality who are objectively looking at what games they want to play.  

And what system would they go out and purchase. 

 

Basically, if I have to sum this whole thing up in one sentence for you to get the point, "You are arguing for the wrong crowd, in the wrong context, and with the wrong claims."

 

You haven't summed anything up.  You have been proven categorically wrong on various areas.  You seem to believe that being 20 years old and 'building' computers makes you a wizard of some sort.  Delusion is the term we  would use to reference yourself.
