^ Yeah but you also fail to address the fact that PC games will be far superior in terms of graphics and AI and everything that makes the PS3 such a "ZOMFG AMAZING GOD SENT BOX" currently.

 

@mike_intellivision: I don't know where you are pulling the no backwards compatability since I was just playing Commander Keen on my Vista machine. Nor do I get where you pulled out the fact that games rarely work on a PC considering if you have any reading comprehension you'd know whether it will run or not on your rig (The requirements box is usually on the back, sometimes on the side or bottom).

 

@FF: Perhaps I have.


Of course to get the superior graphics and AI you have to spend quite a bit on a card that can provide that. Keep in mind the 360 came out in 2005 and is able to run Bioshock about as good as PC. Would a card that I bought in 2005 or even 2006 have allowed me to play bioshock today to be as good looking as the 360 version? How much would that card have been in that time? Yeah you might see better graphics on the PC 2 years from now but the point is you only payed $600 in 2006 when the PS3 came out and still playing games in 2010 etc. Again 1 time investment for 5-10 years if you look at the PS2 as example of how long consoles can go. Basically PC's will always be better looking but that is because they are constantly upgrading and if you don't upgrade the game might run but not at the superior graphics you claim. Maybe someday ati and nivida will just release 1 SUPER kick ass card that all games for the next 5 years will have to be compatible with and have superior graphics etc then I think PC gaming would become more common place and less of a hassle that it is now for most people. I am all for PC gaming really but the fact that my friends just don't give a lick about it is what brings down for me. I LOVE playing with people which is why I play city of heroes on the PC but everything else like cod4 I just play on xbox live.


 BioShock runs on my 6 year old laptop actually. Granted the settings aren't all the way up at all, but I still get the awesome vibe from the game.
