Nintendo is making a console. Sony and Microsoft will be making toned down PC gaming experiences once again in generation 8.

All Sony and Microsoft are really doing is making gaming more expensive, and giving their systems exclusives. You know, people get so freakin' excited when a 360 or PS3 exclusive comes out. They go on the internet and brag about how the people who don't share their brand devotion can't play that game. But all a 360 or PS3 exclusive means is that you'll have to use whatever control mechanisms Sony and Microsoft want you to, you'll have to experience the graphics that they want you to, you'll have to abide by their EULA, you can't mod games without breaking the EULA, thus, in some cases giving companies the rights to disable your system from playing games, (you may argue that they rarely do this, but who in their right mind would passively agree to that?) and you just won't have as many options as you would have had with the game had it been on PC.

Before people brag on Sony / Microsoft exclusives next generation, they need to think about what they're doing. Isn't that basically the equivalent of a bunch of toddlers crawling around in a playpen, and one of them grabs a particular toy, and starts crying and screaming, "WAHHH I WANT TO BE THE ONLY ONE THAT'S ALLOWED TO PLAY WITH THIS TOY!" so he proceeds to wipe his shit and snot all over it and then acts like everyone is supposed to be glad about it? I mean correct me if I'm wrong but that's pretty much a perfect analogy from what I can tell.

Every game would be better on PC, but the only reason I'm willing to tolerate Nintendo is because of two reasons that tie in together: I feel that at least ONE console is an inevitability, and I feel that they are the most reasonable when it comes to making a console, primarily due to the price point. I don't LIKE Nintendo's hardware at all, I'm only willing to tolerate it. Once Nintendo gets to the "599 USD" level they will be on my shitlist as well. But they KNOW that's how many people feel. That's why people like them. So they're not going to make that mistake.

You can't really be the ignorant.

Yes, any game can be made on PC. but the thing about Microsoft and Sony is that they realized people prefer to game with a gamepad in front of an HDTV.
PC Gaming just isn't cool. You play Call of Duty on XBox? You are cool. On PC? NERD. This is the way it was in high school for me about 2 years ago. It hasn't changed.

The only thing "Toned-down" about PS360 games are its graphics. 

", in some cases giving companies the rights to disable your system from playing games, (you may argue that they rarely do this, but who in their right mind would passively agree to that?) and you just won't have as many options as you would have had with the game had it been on PC."

That's the thing though. PS3360 exclusives ARE NOT on PC.

You really can't be this ignorant.

Yes, any game can be made on the PC. You cannot deny that, and were forced to admit it. But the thing is, Sony, Microsoft, and other companies  realized people prefer to game with a gamepad in front of an HDTV - and that's why those options are available on PC.

And thus, your entire argument shatters. Who is the ignorant one here again? I would say it's the person biased towards expensive restrictions.

I don't care about your personal life or personal perception of things. I care about the facts. And the fact is, people that think others are "nerds" for things like PC gaming never show their face in the real world because they know they have no argument. Every time my friends come over, we play games on my PC, on an HDTV, with 360 controllers, and none of them ever say "LOLOLOL NERD XDDD". Only someone like you would do that, because you can't stand someone not liking Sony / Microsoft. You just can't seem to handle the idea of someone not liking what you like, even when what you like just makes things more expensive and less fun.

And no, I just mentioned several advantages of PC gaming beyond the graphics. You know, you console kids really are funny. You claim you don't care about graphics, yet you pay more in order to have inferior graphics, and refuse to play anything with good graphics? Sorry to break it to you, but that's caring about graphics! You're perfectly content to run around screaming "LOL, THE WII IS FOR KIDS, SUCH SHITTY GRAPHICS!!! GRAPHICS ARE SO AWESOME" but then when someone says "But the PC has even better graphics", you switch your argument to "OH YEAH? WELL IT'S NOT ABOUT GRAPHICS!!! WHAT ARE YOU, A GRAPHICS WHORE?!"

And your last statement - Correct me if I'm wrong but are you literally denying the laws of supply and demand? Yes, the PS3 and 360 exclusives are not on PC - Because people won't allow them to be there. They obviously prefer paying more for them to be shittier.

Now is the idea of "paying more for a shittier product" something people do because they think it's BETTER SOMEHOW? Or do they do it out of ignorance and bias?

How many people have their PC next to their HDTV? I know I do but my GPU only has 1 HDMI input and that's used to connect to the monitor.
Ok then...laptops? Well these don't really have much of an advantage over consoles power-wise and they are limited by battery life. 

Oh and I forgot to mention the fact that most PC games still require a mouse and or keyboard on top of a gamepad.

Why would your friends make fun of themselves?

Console kids? Ok, I'm done here.
