Are most people not primarily pc gamers? Do most people have a console and pc games?

In that case, what consoles do you have along with your pc?

I'm mostly a PC gamer these days. I don't have any current gen console. I still play my NDS and xbox (original) once in a while though.

I have been primarilly a console gamer my entire life. However, in the last year or so my appreciation for PC gaming has increased significantly. I am forcing myself to learn how to play FPS on console. Even though I am not real good with the M/KB yet, I most definitely see the advantage this set up brings to shooters. I have also broadened my gaming tastes to more Strategy games like HoMM 5 and 6, Dawn of War, Company of Heroes and Starcraft 2. I will be playing BF3, SWToR, Diablo 3 and Skyrim all on PC as well. Although I don't have a true gaming PC yet, I can play everything on my Dell XPS with no issues. Granted alot of the time, the settings are only low or medium with some highs and the max resolution is 1366 x 768, but the games run great and look fine to me especially since I became accustomed to the "less than HD" visuals on consoles this generation!!

I go back and forth between which has the best new games for the most part. Lately with Dark Souls and Arkham City I've been playing mostly console games. Come Tuesday and BF3 it'll shift back to pc for the most part.

I own everything it just depends on what's out on every platform. Right now I'm just playing Street Fighter(ps3) and L4D2(PC) but I'll be a primary Wii player when Zelda comes out.

Im a PC gamer mostly, back when I was 6 it was around half and half, but with each console gen, Ive gone further and further over to PC, so now im a PC mainly gamer :P

I DO have an old 60 gig PS3 (kind of fearing turning it on out of fear for it going up in smoke) and I have had s DS systems (not sure if they count, but in my head they do :P)

PSP, 3DS. DS, Wii, PS3, and XBox 360 I would count as consoles. Any older consoles I would not consider you to have both.

Its cool to see there are some "non-console" owners on this board. But the majority of people here have both a console and pc games.

If it's available on PC, I buy it on PC, but I also buy nearly all console and handheld exclusives and I have no problem at all with them and neither does Japan which only cares for arcade style gaming(controllers and handhelds).

By far, most of my time is spent on PC. But I have a 360, PS3 and a Wii. PS3 is used pretty much for fighting games that don't come to PC, and 360 I use for other genres of games that aren't on PC.

Mainly my PC. I find that most of the time I use my PS3 for watching Netflix. Only have enjoyed two games on the PS3, RDR and MGS4.

I've been a console player up until about 5-6 months ago. I own a 360, I sold all my games aside from Alan Wake and bought Dark Souls to hold me over until Skyrim and BF3 came out. Got board of that in like 3 days so I went back to TF2 and EYE. I don't plan on buying another console, loving my PC way too much!

I had and loved an XBOX (1) for many years, but since it died (capacitor blew :(). Since getting back into PC gaming, I haven't bothered to get another console, as I would not use it much. I already have a HTPC, so I don't need a console for media reasons, and there are only 2-5 games I would bother getting (for either 360 or PS3).

I think the most recent console I own is the Wii. Oddly enough, in the past, I used to be more console-centric (Genesis, Dreamcast, DS, XBOX1, PS2), but these days I'm primarily a PC gamer. Two main reasons: 1) After I got a job, I could actually afford to build a high end gaming PC and buy gaming peripherals (it's not a cheap hobby I'll be the first to admit) 2) The vast majority of AAA titles are cross platform, and assuming it's not a piss poor console port, you usually get a better experience/graphics on PC. The few remaining exclusives like Dark Souls, GTR, Forza, etc are enticing, but not quite enough to justify buying a 360 or PS3 for

I mostly play PC games. It's easier to play old games on pc because it's all there together. I've got an NES, an Atari 2600, an XBox and a PS3. I only get exclusives or non-pc games with my PS3.

I am primarily a PC Gamer since late 2008 and have been happy ever since. I still own my 360, PS3, and Wii, but I really don't use them much anymore besides Netflix, fighters, and the occasional JRPG (sadly becoming fewer released these days!).

I found another website forum and I guess I cant post other forums. But the majority of posters owned a pc with games and also a system.

And even on this thread, most people own a console along with pc games.

And there is one reason why I wont become a pure pc Gamer:

Heroes of Ruin and Monster Hunter Tri G for Nintendo 3DS. Online mulitplayer games for the 3DS. The consoles might not offer the same graphics and vastness PC games have, but the console games are offering the same type of games that were once exclusive to the PC.

Wii, PSP1000, NDS, PS2 along with my gaming PC. I've been gaming on consoles since the early 80's and the Commodore Amiga/PC about three years later. Since the mid-90's, it's been PC for the majority of my gaming. That may change as consoles increase in power. We'll see.

Wii U is coming out. PS3 and Xbox 360 have a while more. PS Vita and Nintendo 3DS amaze me because its like you have PS2 in the Vita and the Gamecube in the 3DS. My older siblings shared the Super Nintendo and we had a Sega Genesis, but got rid the Genesis a long time ago. My first system was the Game Boy Color followed by the N64 with one game and then I really got into gaming when the Gamecube came out. Then following that I had a Wii for 2 years and then sold the Wii when I was away in college. Away in college I was into PC gaming. Now that Im attending college close to home to save money I got the Nintendo 3DS and the 3DS is awesome because it reminds me of my Gamecube days.

My mainstay on my gaming life is the PC no doubt. I get it upgraded, say, about every two years? I'm also lucky 'coz I had my new 360 on a gaming event on our area and a PS3 on a raffle on the store where I'm buying CD's and stuff.

I used to own all consoles since launch, but they've been boring lately since the beginning of 2010 i was given a copy of CSS. I played the hell out of it (still do sometimes) and its what brought me to steam. I now own nearly 200 games on steam, from December 20, 2009 to now. I have since sold all my consoles.

I became primarily a PC gamer around the BF 1942 time frame. Also a PS3 it mainly streams Netflix and Hulu at this point. But also exclusives like Uncharted, Metal Gear and Gran Turismo. I seriously can't stand shooters on consoles any more.

I've been primarily console with some PC gaming over the years, but I've finally switched to PC gaming this summer and am loving every minute of it. I'm contemplating whether or not to sell my 360 as its been sitting in my closet since July.

I enjoy PC gaming the most, but I have primarily gamed on the Xbox 360 for the past few years. Why? Simplicity. On a console, you put in the disk and it works. No questions asked (usually), no spending an inordinate amount of time trying to get the game to work. I can get to playing a game with the time I have. However, I do play PC games whenever I can. However,I have found that attempts by developers to use services like Windows Live/steam, requiring an active internet connections, etc. have put a very big dampener on my PC gaming. I am not arguing for/against such efforts on the part of developers, beyond the fact that these things have caused so many problems on my systems, I simply don't want to deal the problems they cause or have the potential to cause. I simply can't afford the problems on my systems anymore. An unfortunate part of my reality at this point.

I've been a PC gamer my whole life thus far but also I don't exclude the consoles either. Currently this gen I own a PS3, Wii, and a PC. Though the Wii hasn't been used in almost a year now. I mostly switch back and forth between the PC and PS3.

Are most people not primarily pc gamers? Do most people have a console and pc games?

In that case, what consoles do you have along with your pc?

Always been a PC gamer. Off-topic, but when I see your avatar I think it's c_rake, one of the moderators (you copied his avatar). You really should get a different one.:P

I'm currently in a transitional stage between console and PC.

I gamed on PS3/360 for pretty much all of this gen until I played a little bit of SC2 and LoL last year. I was instantly hooked.

Now I no longer own a 360 and aside from the Halo series and Tales of Vesperia, don't really miss it. Then it slowly dawned on me that this gen I've enjoyed multiplats moreso than all other games (GTAIV, Mass Effect, Borderlands, etc) and now that I've played all the good exclusives on PS3, the only ones that were truly amazing enough to warrant the system were Heavy Rain, God of War III and Valkryia Chronicles, not exactly system keepers though.

I've already decided that I'm tired of owning multiple systems and if there is one to keep above all others, it's le PC.

So I'm selling a good friend of mine the PS3 and now that I have a full-time job with pretty much no budget I'm going to go all out on a monster gaming PC instead of having to settle for a sub-par experience on this low-end laptop :P

I do play my DS Lite quite often though for my JRPG fix, something the PC unfortunately lacks.

Yeah most people don't really have the time or interest to get or make a good gaming PC.

Anyways, I have a PS3 and an Xbox 360 as well. I actually am PS3 first because I have such a huge library of games, most friends on PS3, and love the exclusives, but PC is second for me and sucks up plenty of my time.
