Price.
Super powered PC.............. £2000 (with upgrades constantly needed)
VS
Super powered 360.......... £129
If i can get almost everything i can on a PC for a fraction of the price, i'm gonna take the cheaper option...... More value for money. |
Almost no one buys £2000 PCs. Nowadays a £400 can do a much better job at running games than any console. PC prices have decreased dramatically in the last few years. Hell, you can now build a PC that plays games better cheaper than a PS3.
Many people consider now that PC gaming is cheaper than Console gaming due to the cheaper prices of games, which are often $10-$20 less than the console versions. You also don't need to play $50 every year just to play online.

Unfortunately your argument has no merit seeing how you cannot buy a PC at retail that costs $400 and plays games anywhere near the level of the 360 or PS3.
Not many people shop around for weeks to find the most disclosed deals to make such a budget custom built PC. Sure many people build their own PCs, but many more just buy them at retail and those never have good enough video cards for $400 or less.

Not for $400, but you can find a gaming PC for $500 at retail. A friend of mine just bought a $600 gaming laptop which easily plays better than any console.
But it doesn't matter because all the extra money you put initially in your PC will later be saved from buying the much cheaper PC games, and not having to pay for playing for online.

I could be wrong, but I highly doubt you can find a $500.00 pc at Best Buy, Radio Shack, or Wal~Mart that will blow through Crysis on its highest settings. If you have the technical know how, you might be able to build one, but I'm pretty sure most people don't know how to do so.

It's not like any console out now could do anything close to Crysis on its highest setting, so I'm not sure how that's really a great comparison. How about COD4? Build a machine that can max out COD4 at 600p widescreen resolution for $500? Piece of cake...
(Could probably do it for significantly less than that)
