The average PC gamer is much more mature and serious in his gaming interest than the average "Couch Joe".

That has to be the stupidest quote I've ever read in the history of PC gaming.

Unless by 'mature' you mean entirely in age (in which, the median PC gaming user would probably be older), and by 'serious' you mean spends more time playing PC Solitare or Tower Defense games, that may be the case.

But sufficive to say, a prototypical PC gamer is not much different from a console gamer. You have fanatics on both sides of the spectrum, but there's very little difference between them. One just pays a bit more to play (PC) than the other (console).

I encourage you to look up statistics on Newgrounds, Kongregate, and ArmorGames before making such insane claims.

 

 

I ninja edited my post. I'll repost below so that you get more of the context:

I'm not saying that core gaming is in any way 'better' or more important than casual console gaming. I'm just stating that PC gamers are older, more experienced and serious. Being on Xbox Live just isn't the same.

If that is Elitism, then I guess I'm Elitist.
