Why even own a console?

[QUOTE="locopatho"][QUOTE="blue_hazy_basic"]No it won't, are handhelds as powerful as consoles?blue_hazy_basic

Yeah be we aren't talkin Angry Birds here, we're talking full, 3D, retail games, appearing the same on PS3/Vita.

We aren't gonna see Skyrim on a phone or anything like that anytime soon but the gap is closing way faster then I ever could have dreamed.

In 10 years handheld games went from this:

to this:

[QUOTE="blue_hazy_basic"][QUOTE="locopatho"] Yeah, look at the Vita, it's definitely beyond the Wii and close to 360/PS3 levels. There are PS3/Vita multiplats as well.locopatho

Plain and simple, cause I like them along with my PC. I'm not a fanboy and they get games the PC doesn't get.

To play games.

Why own a PC if you don't want one? People do like playing on consoles, even though PC fanboys can't fathom it. We know, you're sooo much better than us.

This majorly. Console exclusives.

[QUOTE="SNIPER4321"]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? OB-47

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

if i add my tv to my wii, it comes to 780 not counting taxes(42 inch plasma was 300 dollars off on sale and tax free) my computer cost a little more than 4 times that ($3,435.93 and counting) not because i needed to spend that much to play games, but because i like upgrading and overkill and do more than play games.

edit: gamespot broke my paragraphs

My PC won't get Halo 4 and NHL games always seem to suck on PC.

It's fun.

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..

There's lots of viable setups.

Laptop + 360 = play everything, do everything

Desktop PC + PS3 = play everything, do everything

I don't see what the argument's about.

If you don't have a console then you're missing out, but for some people what they get on PC or console (solo platform) is enough for them and that's fine.

PC used to be "must have" now it's not.

PC used to be "best experience" now it's not.

As devices get smaller and more advanced, "High Def" becomes easier to achieve and beefier hardware becomes irrelevant, even phones are HD now.

This creates anxiety for PC gamers who see their platform largely becoming irrelevant.

Unaccustomed to this irrelevance, they sit on forums 24x7 bashing other platforms, and in turn BEING bashed for their rampant dickishness.

The whole thing is just so pathetic and unncessary.

Digital is universal, EVERYTHING is "PC" now, your phone is PC, your PS3 is PC, your 360 is PC, tablet is PC, Windows is PC, Mac is PC.

That's what Tim Cook means by the term "Post PC era."

PC = personal computer

It doesn't mean "Windows/Intel"

Almost Zero interest in PC games.

This creates anxiety for PC gamers who see their platform largely becoming irrelevant.

elitist... consoles are just as good as pc's for gaming.campzor

Consoles are cheap, PCs are high quality. Consoles are good for gaming if you have no money, but that is not the same thing as being "just as good." Also, PC games are a lot cheaper so the price argument really doesn't mean much anyway. So yeah, consoles are not as good for gaming unless you're lazy and don't care about quality.

Of course. The point wasn't "Killzone better then Metroid", the point was "OMG handhelds went from SNES to PS3 level in 10 years!"
