Well , in terms of gaming library goodness PC's rape any console that was ever created.

I just prefer to do my gaming on consoles (feet up on the sofa, all comfy ect)

Yes, but some would argue that you can do the same on a PC. Anyway, are you saying that there is a diferance between Consoles and PCs?

I just don't have the patience to keep constantly upgrading my PC in order to play the latest games.

Sure, i know you can get comfy whilst playing a PC, but its too much hassle for me.

With a console i need only two objects......... a T.V. and my console. (non of that insert plug A in to B then object D in to V ect)

At the end of the day the T.V. is the centre of the home entertainment hub.

Let's not get into that argument. Save it for a more relevant thread. I am going to put you dows as a "PC is not a console" since that seems to be your general consensus here.

The PC is a console................ its just a very expensive one thats more hassle than its worth in all honesty.

Whoops, forgot, "gaming console"

Why do you believe it is a gaming console?

Well, as i said before, theres not one single console on the planet that can play as many games as a PC can.

Whats the total amout of games available to play on a 360? (perhaps 1000 including indie and XBLA games)

Whats the total amount of games available to play on a PC? (perhaps 100,000+)

Therefore i believe that a PC is a gaming console.

Plus, these days even consoles are not PURE consoles........ (watching movies or browsing the internet on your console? whats all that about?)

In that case, my cell phone is a gaming consol as is my DVD player (DVDs with games on them).

I beleive you are wrong because # of games =/= gaming console. A gaming console is an electronic device that has one MAIN purpose in life, and that is to play games. it can certainly do other things, but it cannot do the other things as well as a PC. A PC is not a gaming console because it does more than just play games, and what it does more of, it does very well. The term "gaming Console" is reffering to a console (something that does a limited amount of tasks) that is mainly used for gaming. The PC does not fit that description.

@ Jaycee, Yes there are diferances between each gaming console, however, the diferances between gaming onsoles is hardly as large as the diferance between a gaming console, and a PC.
