No, PC games are PC games.a PC is a completely diferant animal than a PC. the Xbox was MS's first stab into the console gaming market

The original XBox was mainly just a low-end PC in a game console casing.

Computing history is full of game consoles which could be expanded into becoming computers and vice versa by cutting out a keyboard and replacing casettes/disks with cartridges.

Not that different at all.

Yes, a Console and a PC are very differant. the lines are starting to blurr, but there is a disticntion. You are trying to compair apples to oranges to validate a failed argument. No matter what way you look at it, the xbox was a new console to the market.

For example: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coleco_Adam

Or for example the Amiga was an ultra high end home computer / desktop computer (with pre-emptive mulit-tasking, 4096 colors and stereo audio at a time when Mac/PC rivals were single-tasking, 2 color, beeping or soundless crappy machinery), which was aimed to be a console at first because of investors, despite developer ambitions to design a full computer. Eventually they quickly turned it into a full computer because of the games market crash at the time.

 

That is completely irrelevant! When the xbox entered the market, it was a NEW CONSOLE. I really don't know why you can't admit to that. There is no way around it. It was not a new computer, it was a new console. It was a console that was new to the the consumers. How many other ways do I need to put this?
