PC vs. Console

I just wanted to see what some of you think the future will hold for online games. My biggest concern is with MMOs like AoC comeing for the 360, do you guys think the 360 will hold its own against PCs.

Personally I dont buy anymore computer games because I dont have enough money to drop on better hardware every so often. Anyway I think the graphics are evenly matched but the pc can be improved while the xbox cant. Where do you all stand?

well somewhat @ thousands. U can build a decent rig for like a g. But yea pcs will always be superior to consoles but im a gamer and I go where the games go. pc...360...ps3..wii...its watever. As long as the game is good i'm straight.

 And to answer the thread a bit pc servers can hold more players at a time. I am extremely curious to see how the cross platform option MS is cooking up will pan out. This should be extremely interesting. Just dont like the fact they are dumbing down some of the functions for pc gamers so its a more even plain. Let the pc games use what they use and console gamer use what they use.

I'm sticking to my xbox 360 console.

At least I do not have to worry about compability and performance issue. As long as the game matched the region code of my console, I can definitely run it! :)

I play both, because both have their own pros and cons. It's like riding a bike and roller skating.bugtrip

I agree and if you can upgrade a thing or two here and then to play a great game it is worth it.  Building a new rig every few years is not a bad idea either. 

the pc is more open,  no one "owns" pc.  every console is owned by a company.  you can release what ever you want on a pc,  you can release what ever they want on a console.  with a pc it is 100% yours,  with consoles it is 50% yours,  but consoles used to be alot cheaper that pcs.  the console maker gets to decide what games they will allow,  for a price.  pcs are getting cheaper,  consoles are getting more expensive.  you dont have to upgrade all the time.  you will be able to run unreal tournament on a 6 year old card.  i'm betting that crysis will release a dx9 version,  after all it's an ea game and there have even been ds and mobile phone versions rumored.

i'm going to get back into pc gamming.  ms is making the forza 2 collectors edition avalible everysher except the usa,  to stop the other countries from complaining they dont get the movies and tv shows.  that wouldn't happen on the pc.  on pc multiplayer is free except mmorpg.  on the pc you can get mods and maps for games that you cant even buy on consoles.  there are over 800 mods and maps (quests) for oblivion on the pc,  for free.  on consoles there are less than 20  and they'll cost you more than the game did.  pc software is also cheaper since the developer/publisher dosn't have to pay console royalties.  how often do you have to buy a game?  every time you want a new one.  how often do you have to buy a new graphics card?  every 5 years to out preform a console,  about the life span of a console.  and on a pc while yyou dont have to upgrade,  you do have the option.  you dont get that option on a console.

a pc can do everything a console can,  and alot a console cant.  and in the end (software + hardware) the pc can do it for less money.

It's not that hard to find System Wars, you know?monco59
