1.PC's are cheaper, cuz u only have to upgrade what u want to when u want to, more selection. Consoles U have to upgrade the whole console.
consoles are still cheaper than any PC's. even with the PS3 being the most expensive console at $400-$500.00 but really how do you expect to game on a cheapo 400-500.00 PC. and the upgrade what you want arguement does not work because if you take too long to upgrade you have to upgrade every part in your PC
2.Backwards computability. PC's. Almost all older games still work. Doom as an example. So when u upgrade your system, u don't have to give up all there old games.
in some way this can be true but the crashbox 360 is backwards compatible. the PS3 is backwards compatible with PS and some PS3's can play both. The nintendo wii is backwards compatible with gamecube games plus it growing list of old games from all the old popular systems.
3. You can use a pc for anything. consoles are getting better, But not even close to what a pc can do.
the problem with this is while playing a game on a PC you have too many other applications running in the background that can hinder the performance when you play a game and the possibility of you system crashing more than a console
4. Graphics. Consoles graphics are good when they come out, but they have limits. PC's always outpace consoles. And, if u don't have the money to buy new parts, u can scale the games graphics down to suit ur hardware. And, when new parts come out, u can crank the graphics even higher.
this is true somewhat almost all games on the PC right now are still the same graphically with this generation of games on consoles and do not have to worry about having a bad graphics card to get the most out of the game
5. Contollers- U are pretty much stuck with what the consoles come with. Pc's u can pick and choose between thousands of controllers. Including xbox360, and asus wii clones...
PC's still have issues with controller as many people still want to use there old PC controllers and they are not compatible with current PC software. the and have to deal with drivers and calibrating the controller on the computer where on a console all you have to do is plug the controller in to the console and just turn it on and it works
6. Multiplayer is much better on the pc. u can pick the servers u want to go on, and all most all the pc ver. allow for more players then the console ver.
once again i bring up the pc's running processes while playing the game if your playing online and you have some system processes running in the background that can affect your game in a big way and not to mention that the players your playing against can have a better GPU than you so if they do they will be able to beat you everytime
7. Number of games. mods- most pc games have mods, some, have many mods. Overall, even without considering mods. pc still has more games. Here is a small list, and some games aren't even on this list.
this generation of consoles is now on par with add-ons with down loadable content and all you have to do is install them on the console and they work right away
8. Repairs- if a console breaks, it costs about the same to get it fixed as it does to buy a new one, and most of the time it's imposible for the customer to fix is. - Pc, easy to troubleshoot, and u can buy parts almost anywhere.
except for this generation the failure rate for consoles has been better with PC's. a computers hard drive has a greater failure rate than any console ever made. and with warranties and extended warranties now it is not much of an issue.
9. Popularity? Almost everyone already has a computer, but how many people do u "really" know in comparison who has a ps3 or an xbox360?
everyone i know has a console a crashbox, PS3 or a Nintendo wii yes a Nintendo wii which people blindly think it is not a real console. PC's still have the image that that PC's have nothing but FPS, MMORPG, and strategy RPG games. i myself tried to stick with a PC but there is not very many console games that make it over to PC's
