"Let's live in harmony"

And those type of comments, this article is not about allegiance and fanboyism. It's about which is better. Obviously, Pc is stronger, anyone who thinks it's effort to actually get a gaming Pc is just lazy and misinformed, go to the forum we have here, ask for one with how much your willing to spend on one, you will receive guidance, that is all.

For exclusives, Ps3 obviously. Exclusives doesn't auto mean the games are better by the way, just that there is more exclusives, it's a nice little fact that Multiplats are all better on Pc, even now it's starting to show up in gameplay(see BF3). And the difference in amount of Exclusives is actually very small. Go look at a list.

Features, again Pc by a long shot, same as XBL except with more features and free.

Cost, believe it or not, 800 is enough to max out games, BF3 being the exception, which you probably won't be able to max out, but still you'll be fine. High atleast(including 1080p, AA etc) then you have the deals on video games..steam etc. It's likely you won't need a monitor either if you are a console gamer already/

Comfort, Pc, mouse or keyboard, Or controller, it's up to you.

The difference is Cost anyway. Do you want to spend a big 800-1200 now, or spend that much over the whole time of owning a Console?

firemassacre, I have everything besides 3DS. 360 I am keeping only for gears 3, which surprising looks good, I hated 2 and loved the first

Is that he says he only likes shooters and yet at the same time he acknowledges he is a casual gamer. 7_7

Economy speaks for itself, PC is to much cash... PS3 has some worse quality multiplats and bunch of nice looking Exclusive titles...

My first gaming was done on console. I briefly switched to PC gaming, then went back to console. Years later, I briefly switched back to PC... then went back to console. I don't see myself ever going back to PC gaming again, beyond having a game to play on my laptop while I'm on a plane or something. I just don't see the attraction to it that others seem to.

console gaming sucks.

Why not own both.A PS3 and a gaming PC is an unbeatable combo.

I think it depends on the game and the gamer.

Can a PC give me the Little Big Planet experience? Racing at the level, depth and quality of Gran Turismo? Does the PC have my fill of JRPGs? Will Uncharted 3 come out on Windows? There are many more examples.

Simply put, the PC doesn't completely fit my personal gaming tastes. I'm not into shooters, RTSs and not huge on MMORPGs.

I did buy Witcher 2, however. Besides that, I can't remember the last time there was a quality PC game (that appealed to me) that I could not get on a console.

Ive been a PC gamer with eight years and its only lately I am starting to see the benefit of console gaming. With a console theres no such thing as hoping your hardware is good enough or if some part of your PC is dodgy and will throw you out of the game unexpectedly. In the past two weeks my PC has been very unstable and gaming is almost impossible even though I can watch movies with no problems my PC keeps crashing games every ten minutes. Ive stress tested every part of my PC and cant find what the problem is. I've even done a fresh windows install.

I am always trying to keep a good balance with my PC hardware so I can play the latest games at the highest settings , but at the end of the day its starting to cost too much. at least when you buy a console you dont need to upgrade once every two years or so which is cheaper in the long run.

pc>>>>>> console lol even bulletstorm pc looks better than ANYTHING on consoles what does that tell you ? even a 2006 high end pc is more powerful than either "HD" console( core 2 duo + 8800gtx), even a core 2 duo can emulate ps2 completely in software and crank up resolution to 1080p while the "powerful" cell can't emulate ps2(the ps3s with ps2 backwards compatability had the ps2 emotion engine in them so the ps2 games ran on PS2 HARDWARE and not emulated by the cell simply because the cell isn't powerful enough so what does that tell you ? a core 2 DUO(not even core 2 quad, extreme, i3,i5 or i7) can do what teh cell cannot. pc FTW!

Consoles all the way for me. I know how good a PC game COULD look, but I would hate wondering if I need to upgrade my graphics card with every single new release that comes out. And honestly I think graphics on the Xbox and PS3 are incredible, and theres no headache no matter what game I want to play.

this is gonna ruffle some feathers ;)

imo the most hardcore gamer lives on the PC. not because of games, but because of the level of ineraction, knowledge of your rig, and custimization that the PC has to offer.

we can overclock, tweak, upgrade, tryy this, do that, mod to our hearts content, make a sweet map or download someone's idea for a map or texture pack, we have as PC gamers endless options we can do with our games and rigs.

Consoles are great, i like my PS3 a lot. but i hate proprietary systems. i hate not being able to get online like when PSN was down or Live is down. if i want to put Linux on my PS3 i cant because Sony wags their finger telling me "NO!!".

TLTR: i like the open end of the PC compared to consoles. and i hate not being able to game without the communities ive met on PC using Ventrilo and TeamSpeak.

lets all just game on what we want to game on, hug and be gamers. not different factions of idiots attacking each other. :)

all im saying is that what console fanboys fail to realize is that ALL consoles are essentially pcs/computers just cant do what a pc can and what it can it does at sometimes substantially lower quality, frame rates, graphics, loading, saving and such.

on a slightly different topic, fools that say gaming (fps in particular) is at the same level of skill as pc are on crack, pc fps doesnt use 'aim assist or auto aim' every fps game on console by default has that shit on cause aiming with a controller is bullshit and yet people think their the pros using a controller with aim assist on and it makes a huge difference, if been a pc gamer for 14 years now and console gamer aswell but pc is just way better

well well well...
pc vs. console, isnt that the eternal question?
The only topic that could ever hope to unite Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft fanboys wordwide.

When it comes to the games, LONG LIVE THE CONSOLE!
When it comes to internet porn, LONG LIVE THE PC!

Find me a pc under $300 that will play uncharted,GOW, Halo, Gears of war and Crysis 2 and I will never play a console again! Until then the price and quality of what a console can offer is unmatched!

I am a hardcore console gamer with 100,000 gamerscore. I played PS3/360 since launch. Recently i built a PC and absolutely love it. Better multiplayer, better community, you save money on games and better graphics. Basically you buy a game for cheaper and its superior in every way.

I wonder why i didnt do it sooner. Most PC games come with controller support so you can hook it up to your big tv for an easy transition. Dont believe the hype about keyboard and mouse users will destroy controller users. I see no difference playing against K/M users with my controller. I use a 360 controller for all games. I never use K/M.

Wait this guy loves shooters and has a pc but doesn't own Counter Strike...!?!?

I prefer PC. I game on PS3 and 360 sometime but playing shooter with controller just doesn't fly with me.

PC will allways be ahead of console because PC has endless customization. You can't install more RAM or a new graphics card on console.

Play anything that's seems fun to me. I mainly game on PC, but wouldn't mind grabbing a controller for Halo.

Yea I own a ps3 and xbox360 along with my gaming pc. But every time I try to play on console for too long a get really bored for some reason, and it's not because of the game. There are games that can hold my interest out there like MGS4, but for the most part I always just kind of get "bored" after playing them. I try so hard to like it but I just can't that much.

WTF am I doing wrong!?!?!?

PC- PRO: Better Performance, Unlimited Features, Portability, Flexibility

CON: High Price, Tech Upgrades, System Requirements, Posture, Fanboys, SKU's.

CONSOLES- PRO- Convience, Stable, Cheap, Organized Marketplaces, Better Social Tracking

CON- Limited Hardware, Closed OS,

Feel free to add more

these articles always have a bunch of losers fighting.... why are you people so angry and crazy? You're all the reason gaming will always been seen as something weirdos and shut-ins do. Go to a doctor and get pills or something freaks.

Huh wtf is this?! I just came to see the Pussies and Cats.

kids should not make sh** and videos about PC gaming . owning 3 consoles doesn't make you an expert and playing with the PC for one year will not let you whats the good and the bad . so STFU

99% of you guys on N4G have to post your comments on a PC, work on a PC, HAVE A PC. Every electronics you own tries to imitate a PC. Since PC is an integral part of your life, it shouldn't be a chore or foolish to invest in a good PC to cover the gaming aspect as well.

In all my honesty, I truly believe that consoles are PCs for the poor and the unsophisticated. Of course, there are times when I just want to pop a disc into a console and start playing. However, I never deluded myself into thinking that consoles are in anyway better than PCs. Also, people who says that you need to constantly upgrade your PC is clearly misinformed. Upgraded my PC when Crysis came out in 2007 and I never have to upgrade since. 5 years already.

PS: Just finished Demons Soul. Blueblood Swordmans build is awesome. Freaking Black Phantoms keep invading, I had to fight like 20 dudes. I wish the Maiden in Black could be freed. I couldn't bring myself kill her even if its just a video game. Can't wait for Dark Souls.

Ok, im tired of this pc vs console stuff!!

FFS everybody can see pc is better!

Just remember that pc did set the benchmark in graphics with Crysis 2007, but hence no pc could run the game properly!!!

BTW Battlefield 3 does look superior on the pc version, but it is still on consoles! And you gona have to pay alot more than $300 to make it look better than the console version of the game! And dont try to bullshit me bout that! My pc costs (if i buy it now) R4500 without a screen and it can barely run crysis 1 on medium! Its a core i5 650 - 4gb ram ddr3 gaming geil, 9600gt zotac special edition, and alot more! Lets say it cost around $450 in my country! The ps3 costs around R3000 which make it $300!

You gona tell me the 9600gt pc i have can deliver more than my ps3? Then im going to say to you to go fuck your dog and stop trolling!

High-end pc's cost around $1000, and yea it will outdo the ps3 - Just look at battlefield 3, witcher 2 and the new metro last night! MMMM do i have it wrong, but the lightning in the new metro last night even outdo BF3? Im talking bout the lightning part! Wow just wow. Oh and did you ppl see the sun in BF3 tank run gameplay e3 vid???

Yes pc is better, but for the first 3 years the console can compete in terms of graphics! Just look at ucharted 2, gears of war 2 and even gtaiv/red dead redemtion! Yes the new mod in pc gtaiv looks amazing, but you need a strong pc remember!

DX 11 does give some of the best advance user interface sequences known to animals of the same kind! I mean the tesselation on the walls, the lightning on rocks that lay on the floor, and wow even the grass talk back to you if u turn on dx11 settings!

PC is better than consoles, but its only because it costs alot more, and you can upgrade it every hour :D

If i had the money, id go for sli 580gtx, core i7, 16 gb ddr3 gaming memory, triple clutch performance (ok now im talking bout cars) etc.

Anyway, enjoy the nice pc looking games, but also enjoy the nice console games coming up later this year!!

Peace!

Let's stop turning this place into a gaming warzone & just talk,play & enjoy games!

Tell me again how the multiplatform strategy was supposed to fix everything. Look at your results and compare them to Nintendo, which keeps thriving with exclusives. Your loyal fans are gone. And let’s not forget the pile of IPs you purchased only to let them rot.

The worst thing is this is down from last years numbers/expectations which was down from the previous years numbers/expectations. You think about how long “down” has been a consistent part of the communication and you realize those subscriptions are what’s holding that boat together. The price cut of gamespass is still a price raise in a string of price raises. They are trying to use players to offset the missing revenue. Now call of duty is out of gamespass, which is literally WHY they bought the company. To draw people to the subscription. They realized they missed a boatload of money and that wasn’t sustainable. Now you pay for it like you would have if they never bought the company… so why buy the company? Mind you those billions still need to be paid back. Yeah it gives you a chance to say we make the biggest FPS… but the internal conversations must be brutal at high level on topics that really matter. Like revenue. Profitability. And ROI for the shopping spree.

Is this like the 10th quarter in a row they're down 33% on hardware how is that even mathematically possible. You would think their mediocrity would Plateau
