wow you know nothing about competitive console gaming. Console pro gaming to list a few is

Halo3, GoW2, COD4, Street Fighter, Guitar Hero, SSBB, Tekken, Virtua Fighter, Forza, GT, Rainbow 6 Vegas, Madden

and thats just a small list. Actually people do watch console games, MLG has had two full seasons broadcasted on tv. Please tell me a PC game thats been broadcasted on American national television. Starcraft is only as big as it is in Korea. Please list me all the major PC tournaments and their top prizes. Hell the madden tournament gives away a million dollars every year, more than any other pc tournament. How the hell is there a higher skill gap with a k&m? The skill gap is the exact same with a controller having a massive skill curve. Explain to me the skill difference between someone who's good with a k&b playing against people using a k&m and someone thats good with a controller playing with other people that are using a controller?

The fact is that console pro's are just as good as pc pro's in their respective fields, console games take just as much skill as pc games hence why there has never in the history of MLG been an unranked team that won a tournament, and console tournaments in America and many other places have become much larger than PC tournaments giving away much larger prizes and having more people attend. 

None of you PC advocates even bothered reading my links because you all like harping on saying the exact same things every time instead of looking at whats going on around you.

You guys keep saying that k&m is like sprinting and game pad is like being in a wheelchair. Actually the correct comparison is F1 racing vs Rally racing. Sure one goes faster but they both take a massive amount of skill. The fact that you keep denying that isn't surprising though, you also seem to enjoy denying that almost every single big publisher has moved on to consoles and that console games are getting bigger and bigger while PC games fade. Keep on singing the same tune, it doesn't change the real world.

 

Ok fine, let's go with your analogy. Compare an F1 car to a rally cacr. Faster, tigheter turns, they can make a U turn going 200 km/h etc. Overall it takes a hell of a lot mroe skill to control the F1 car than to do the rally. hank you for agreeing with me.

Also that's what pisses me off. Budget games going on consoles because cnsoles games are simple and dumbed down. They are basically blowing their money on inferior an product, but nooooo people still buy that crap. Your console games are basically just shovelware.

No it's you that doesn't understand the analogy. Of course an F1 car would beat a Rally car in a race but that is because it was designed to go faster. It doesn't take away from the skill of the rally race and it doesn't mean in any way that an F1 racer is more skilled than a Rally racer. Both races take skill but they just take a different type of skill. In no way could you put a F1 racer into a rally car and assume he would be good, same goes for a Rally racer.

I'm not even going to respond to the second statement because it is flamebait and I seriously hope no one else enters this thread because you could get banned if reported for that statement and I don't want that.

Let me put it this way. Faster cars, FAR faster cars, requrie far faster respsonse times which means far more skill driving than in a rally, or god forbid, NASCAR. They are the most skilled divers on earth, plain and simple.

And they are basically shovelware, mediocre games that sell millions, fits the description just fine.
