Im all for competitive gaming, and on that level, consoles are badly behind PCs. Online gaming via PSN/XBL or Wiiwhateveritscalled, is just public mayhem gaming. Friends on partychat pWnInG n00bZ!

No dedicated servers on most games? Local hosts (pardon my french) suck! Laggy (except for the host), with an unfair advantage to the host, and either the game is interrupted or ended when the host quits? That's awful...
And does anyone else see irony in the PC version of MW2 getting lower ratings than the console versions? It's the same game with (slightly) better graphics and more control options (you can use a controller, or M/KB). I guess even PC game reviewers have higher standards for gameplay... |
If you think Xbox Live is falling behind, you should see the Wii's online; now that's very far behind.
Either way, Xbox Live can still be fun and games do tend to play well with little lag on it, but I still enjoy my PC gaming more

Not everyone has capable consoles to play it either. What's your point? |
If you own a $200 360 or $300 PS3, you can play MW2. Put disc in. Select disc. See logos. Play.
If you own a PC with sufficient hardware specifications, and the latest video drivers, not to mention Windows updates and service packs, you might have a chance of being able to run it with an official Infinity Ward patch, after fiddling with some of the files.
I miss the days when PC gaming was good, and not all about hardware requirements, massive installs and stability patches.

Yeah, except you have to do a firmware update and your 360 might RROD on you. There's really no advantage there.
Oh, and in terms of cost, since most people have a PC anyway, you really only need to spend $150 or $200 on a video card upgrade to get something decent, in addition to most bare bones PC's.

no cheaters on consoles (well except for that little COD4 on PS3 debacle) that made me move from PC to consoles for MP.
Most of my friends have at least one of the consoles now as well which is a bonus.

Yeah... you're delusional. I've already seen videos of people cheating on MW2 on 360. That took what, a week?
Well difference between XBL and PSN is that PSN has dedicated servers so its RARE to ever find lag

And you seem to have a chip on your shoulder.

I play console games too. I just do most of my online gaming on PC, and never realized there wasn't a similar server browser setup on XBox and Playstation. I've played a few Wii games online, but people always talk about how awful the Wii online is (friend codes ugh) compared to XBL... but it sounds like XBL isn't much better at all. |
I had to quote this - Wii owns LIVE? Oh wow.
