You could always connect a PC to the TV, before HDMI you used S-Video on the old fat CRT Televisions.


Also, what makes them less convenient? You don't HAVE to play games with a keyboard and mouse on the PC.

I know that, though there were a lot of conversion issues at play. Nowadays I can plug in my laptop via HDMI and everything's up and running. It's convenience that lures the general audience in.

If you wish to play a game that's optimal play is about 30 hotkeys, then be my guest. My point is that there's a lot of people who work all day in front of a keyboard, the last thing they'd want to do is have one in front of them during their leisure time.

There are exclusives on PC.

Diablo, StarCraft, WarCraft, Civilization, League of Legends, Eve, Heroes if Might and Magic, The Settlers, Anno, Arma, Company of Heroes, X-Com, Shogun, Red Orchestra, Age of Empires, Trackmania, The Sims, Sins of a Solar Empire etc'.

Then you have the recent kickstarter games like Planetary Annihilation, Star Citizen, Project Eternity,  Starlight Inception, Maia, Elite: Dangerous, Wasteland 2, FTL: Faster than Light and Strike Suit Zero to name a few.

Then if you want go back over the decades you have: Dune, Master of Orion, Dungeon Keeper, Black and White, Sacrifice, Alpha Centauri, Battlezone, Dark Reign, Boulders Gate, Icewind Dale, Homeworld, Arcanum, Fallout, Freelancer and Freespace...

And THAT is just what I can remember off the top of my head.

Games like Skyrim, Dragon Age, Half Life, Neverwinter Nights, Minecraft really shine with mods that will never arrive on console.

From a games perspective you can't beat the PC.

 

You missed the point entirely...

Show me some games on the PC that closely resemble Nintendo games. I wasn't talking about exclusitivity count. I was talking about the overall feel of the game. I play the PC a lot for games, but when I'm in a Nintendo mood, there hasn't been many PC titles that take my attention away...
