As I laid out on my thread regarding PC vs console gaming:

There are several claims one can make as to why console gaming is better than PC gaming:
1. A stable platform means that the games is more likely too work out of the box on your machine.
2. Cost of entry to play games of a given generation is less expensive.
3. There are less maintenance headaches one has to deal with with consoles.
4. One can rent console games, to see if you like. Both DO have demos most of the time.


HOWEVER, comparable graphics, or superior graphics is not one you can make. Nor, in ALL cases, can you say that consoles have better interface. RTS is better on PCs than consoles, and aiming is superior on PCs. Same with modding. Also, consoles don't have every genre covered at this point.

Myself, as I laid out in my thread, I do console gaming and not PC gaming.
