At this point in the gen, consoles arn't really worth much aside paper weights or doorstops.. All you get is a jaggy, lesser gamingexperience. The extremly rare worthwhile exclusive doens't warrant paying 200$+ per console not to mention controllers other peripherals. And tbh i'd rather avoid the dozens the casual fps's, movies, wannabe racing sim's, and rehashed fighters... Only fathomable reason to own a console is if you cant afford a decent PC or to play with console only friends..

While they may be technically inferior to any decent PC, the only reason anyone owns any system for gaming is for the games. If there's enough exclusive games on any platform that interest any given person, that would be a reason to own it. Maybe the majority of the games you're interested in are on PC, and there's not enough console games sparking your interest to justify the purchase of one. That's fine. I'm also in that boat. But some people aren't.

Consoles are fine. Most console players don't even notice how blurry/jaggie everything is, and even if they did, they wouldn't care.

The only thing that bugs me about my console is that its not hooked into GFWL :(

Oh, and its a shame about the lack of invasion DRM as well, I do miss that.

So when a robber breaks into your house they think you are poor and just take the console figuring you don't own a PC. :P

Did we have this question many times before? The simple answer is the games in these consoles which is why people own them.

Because the best exclusives can only be found on consoles, games like The Last of Us are better than any PC game from the past, the present and the future

Ha! Too funny. Although I use a wireless keyboard & mouse, while my pc is hooked to my 55in LED, and I still get to sit on my sofa, therefore I won't fall victim to those butt rashes! My job is the one that likes to chew up my arse.

I dunno. Every console I've bought after the PS1 ended up being a paper weight. I still fire up my PS1 from time to time but none of the games on the current consoles interest me, a lot of the been there done that but with better graphics.

Some people think PC gaming is expensive yet they buy multiple consoles inculiding handheld which cost more than Gaming PC. also why plasma TV dont count as cost? SNIPER4321

Because most people already own a TV, meaning all they need to buy is the console

Jesus that's something I would say.

It's just that recently I've attempted to argue with the fanboys rationally only to be met with idiotic 'umad' posts or 'petty consolites', and so I decided why bother with the effort. These fanboys aren't open minded. My opinion, and even yours isn't going to change it. I'd rather entertain myself a bit.

Same reason why i got a Sega Genesis a few months ago, tho never owned one. The older the consoles, the better, because they become incredibly cheap. And if they have a decent portion of games exclusive to the system, it's a no brainer. Why would i limit my self to a gaming PC and only the newest of games? Sucka.

I like to buy consoles, cover them with dog poop, and light them on fire on the doorsteps of PC eitists.:P

I have one to play console exclusives, of course.
