Not to mention that you can turn up the graphics to Ultimate or Maximum or whatever on a computer, while you're restricted to one graphics setting on consoles.

buying a 300 dollar console that comes bundled with a game/necessary peripheral is more appealing than speccing out and building a computer to the vast majority of people.

this is a stupid thing to say. do you think the average person would want to spend $500-600 building a computer and possibly have to buy additional peripherals/a monitor, when they could just buy a 300 dollar console that plugs right into their tv and works from day one?

PC's can hook up to TV's too.

True, I used to have both my Xbox and Laptop hooked up to my TV. (laptop for playing games, watching movies, better sound and what not) and it's extremely easy.

Have fun chilling on a couch with a mouse & keyboard.

I've said it once, twice... Multiple times:

DIFFERENT FUCKING MARKETS

If PC gaming was the be all and end all then there would be no consoles. Every console vs PC thread ever. Gah.

I'm not saying that. I was just saying that PC's CAN be connected to TV's(they can also have controllers hooked up to them)

I agree that consoles are easier to just sit down on a couch and play. But I find it more comfortable to be sitting at a desk or something like that when I play. I also dislike controllers, mouses are much easier to control for me.

It all boils down to preference.
Personally, I've never gotten any major fixy thingy for computers to work. I like consoles cause I can just plug it in and done. PC's and consoles are for diffrent markets and therefore diffrent people, do you mesure a chichen salad's delisiousness based on Cooked Hadock? No, you base them on other chicken salads. Same thing with consoles and PC's, can't compare two diffrent things for two diffrent people. End of story.

Looks like Skul already said the same thing. Derp.

The average person isn't very bright in today's society, as far as I've experienced, but yes, I understand what you're saying, it does sound more, and probably is more appealing. I guess it really comes down to preference, most people do like console gaming because of the ease. However, a lot of people also like PC because of the freedom. I'd, personally, rather own a PC than any console, but like I said, that's personal preference. It just seems smarter to own a PC instead of buying a console, which is solely for gaming, PCs can be a necessity in daily life.
