@ Puffy, Obviously, it is not to some people, I give you exibit A.

@WiiBox, The point of this thread is to define whether or not the PC is a gaming console. That is all. The reason it matters is because fanboy arguments are generally based around symantics and perceived differences / likenesses of a Gaming console and a PC. All I am doing is trying to give people a thread they can referance to stop said arguments and hopefully bring a little more perspective to where each person is coming from.  

Oh, please. Let's leave it at that.

You're not reading what I'm writing or not understanding what I wrote already at least two times.

Since -whatever the reason might be- you're not understanding, the least you can do is not put words into my mouth and thus remove my name from the list you're compiling in your OP.

dude, you are usung a fru fru argument that is based on what the PC is to a minority of people. I am asking what it is in general, what is it's main purpose, WHY DOES THE PC EXIST??? You have done nothing but put words in my mouth to make my argument seem more grey than it is, this is a black or white answer. There is no middle ground. Yes, the lines are being blurred, but the answer is still a clear yes or no. You keep saying no, but you fail time and time again to give a solid answer that is not based on one person's perceoption of the PC. Here is something for you. I decided to use my PC as a bludeoning wheapon, and not a pc...so now, does that make ALL PCs a bludeoning wheapon? THAT is the destinction I am trying to make.

BTW, thanks for lying to me, I knew you would. You came back after you said you wouldn't.

^I'm not debating the thread anymore, I'm just asking to not be misquoted in the OP. Please remove my name from the list.

You are in the "believe a PC is a console" list, where you have been from the start, would you rather be in the other list? BTW, you were never misquoted in the OP, did you even read it?

^Putting me in that list in the OP is misquoting me, because that's not my position. Go back and read all my posts, or at the very least the first one. If you want you can add a new list: "people who think that the issue thus formulated is flawed" and put my name under it.
Everything else is putting words in my mouth, please don't.

I don't care if you don't like my argument, what is your stance? IS the PC a gaming console, or not? it's a simple yes or no answer. There is no third option.

As I said before, I'm not repeating myself anymore about that. My answer has been given yet, multiple times.

For the last time, please don't put my name under something I've not subscribed. We can disagree or even not understand each other, but let's be civil.

@ ironman...

I don't think the PC is a console.

You accuse me of putting words in your mouth, you skirt around answering a simple question, AND you lie to me...then you have the audacity to ask me to be civil? All I ask is a yes or no. There is no inbetween, no grey area, and so far, you have seemed intent on proving that there is...so no, I really am not sure where you stand. You fail to make it clear.

Your question has been asked and answered severl times throughout this thread, infact, it was answered twice after you asked it the last time. But, since I'm a nice guy...

A PC built specifically to play games, still has other tasks it performs very well. As I exampled in the OP. I can take that PC specifically built to play games, and use it specifically to use programs to do 3D solid modeling (since computors that do this often use many of the same componants as gaming pcs). Just because YOU us that PC for a diferant purpose, does not mean that it is not still a PC, it has many primary purposed as apposed to a gaming console, which has one primary purpose gaming. 

Does that answer your question?
