I like it when HD console fans make fun of Wii graphics, online, or complexity of games.

Every time I get into an argument with a PC fanboy I always list a large amount of amazing games (MGS4, Mario Galaxy, Uncharted, Halo 3, Killzone 2, SSBB, etc...) only playable on console and the reply I always recieve is that all the games I listed are crap. That leads me to the conclusion that PC fanboys either have;

a) Bad taste in games

b) Have simply forgotten how to have fun playing video games because their too busy counting the number of pixels

or

c) Their levels of nostalgia for older games have built up to such ridiculously high levels over the years that they have become blinded to reality.

I'm not sure which one is the main cause, possibly a combination of all 3.

^ I'll give you Fighter games (like SSBB), Sports/Racing games and platformers. The rest ARE crap.

Thief is twice the stealth game as Spliter Cell or MGS, HL/HL2 is twice the FPS than anything out for the past 3 years. I won't even go into strategy games, cause they don't even compare to PC games from over 10 years ago, much less anything newer.

haha that's a good one. PC gaming become more popular than consoles again. lol

Too true, it's like manual vs automatic or wine vs beer. It won't be as popular, it will still be far far superior though.

Actually I'd reckon it is: over 260 millions online PC gamers by the end of 2007, more than the total of console gamers. One can argue that PC gamers don't spend as much money though, but PC gaming revenue is increasing at a huge pace, with countries like China online market growing over 75% in 2008.

Here is a fail post for ya.

The only time a console is more social than the PC is when the people are playing in the same room. However PSN and Live usually don't fall under that. When you step online, you can really tell the difference between a PC and a Console. Only one word describes the oline of the consoles and that's pathetic.Also PC comunities are far more mature, open to discussion, and online, generally more open. I also forgot to mention LAN parties. A LAN party is basically the same thing that happens when you get people playing your console in the same room, multiplied by about 10 times more fun.

Average joe is also a fucking idiot. Which also explains why the games for consoles are so fucking dumbed down and outright shitty in comparison to PC centric ones. Your average Joe also drinks beer, I drink Cognac. Does that make cognac worse? Hell no.

Sorry, what I meant was that theres no significant difference, aka a significant difference in that theres no significant difference. I just got these two sentences combined somehow.

Its more PCs holding back PCs. Why spend the money when the majority of the market has 1-2 CPU cores? A 'typical' steam PCs could probably just play HD console games about as good as the consoles themselves.

Probably the most important trend is -> The rejection of DX10/Vista, there are as many DX10 class GPUs running XP as Vista.

I believe the high end PC gaming market is going to stagnate until the release of Direct X 11 in the west t go alongside Windows 7.

Microsoft being in the console industry is proof enough of the threat consoles are becoming to PC gaming.
