This thread is a pretty close minded way of looking at ings

Why would ANYONE buy ANY console when you could always build a better PC. The answer is simple, many people especially those that arent "hardcore gamers" like the ease of use a console offers. If you go to the store to buy a 360 or PS3 game you know you can go straight home, stick it in your console and it will run perfectly fine. You also know there is zero need to worry about upgrading parts and compatibility issues until the next console releases.

For many core gamers like us PC gaming isnt that difficukt to figure out but we are the minority. The vast majority of gamers who play on console dont know anything about how to build a rig, how Steam works, or how to even gauge system requirements

You are 100% wrong as the others do offer distinct value to be purchased along with a PC.

Nintendo has its first party games that demand a Nintendo hardware to be purchased. A lot more than one or two titles as well.

Sony, while more similar to MS, still has quite a few exclusives (more than one/Halo) along with its PSNPlus service that push distinct value to their hardware.

MS on the other had has none of that.

Im not 100 percent wrong on anything as the 360 has sold over 70 million units whike being in the exact same situation you describe the 720 will be in.

This is a sales site, use the numbers.  You forget that you are an incredible minority in the world of gaming who actually goes out and looks at different things consoles / PC market offers.  You would be completly shocked to know the vast majority of the gaming world doesnt even know or understand what titles are 1st party or even exclusive

 

Always remember internet forums arent reflective of real life
