I got tired of spending more time on upgrading, installing and patching games than playing them. Buying all 3 Wii, Xbox360 and PS3 was a lot cheaper than upgrading my PC every 6 month for "a" new game. For the most part I can just put the disk in and start playing no more waiting.

upgrading and patching are no longer problems of modern PC gaming. New Gaming PCs without upgrades can keep playing new games much more than consoles can. And patching nowadays are streamlined and you no longer need to hunt for patches due to services like Steam (most games themselves now have an automatic way to upgrade even).

Installing I don't even call a problem because that's something I believe most PC gamers would do it just to help on the loading times. Consoles now even have installs.

 

I think the best thing about PC gaming today is that you don't even need to put a disk to play! All you need is to click on your game's icon to play it, no disk.


Funny you should mention that.  My girlfriend was hunting high and low today for her Sims 3 disc so she could play the game.

Or she could've just bought the game on Gamersgate, Direct2drive or some other DDS and wouldn't need to worry about discs...

So you're pretty much saying PC gaming is confusing and actually has a fault then or else everyone would always use DDS?
