"Why do the kids love Call of Duty?"

Sums it up...
This is why you almost NEVER see these same type of "kids" demographics play games like Ghost Recon, Rainbow Six, BF series, KZ3, ARMA 2, Operation Flashpoint at all...
The fact that those same PC games cost $10-$15 dollars cheaper in most cases is the main reason why PC gaming imo wins by a landslide.
Games are cheaper on the PC, AND those games look and run better in 99% of the cases...then you have FREE MODS to add life to that $10 TRIPLE A game you just bought off steam, while console owners just spent $50_$60 on the same game without mods...
With the savings you make down the road on added up game purchases, (and the savings are...
I would say useless to be honest when most consumers already have some sort of Cell Phone or Tablet/Netbook or PC/Laptops to do this.
Even Apples products have a higher use of web surfing than consoles.

YET you can use that same HDTV your console is on for your PC...Just saying...
because that is exactly what I do and do so with a wireless keyboard and Xbox360 and PS3 controllers from my couch.
You can ALSO buy THREE or even FOUR high quality 24" monitors and run it in AMD's Eyefinity setup or Nvidia's multi-monitor solution and it is still cheaper than that HDTV you have for your console.
Hell....If you have buckets of cash you can hook up THRE...
Over the long run a $1400 kick ass Gaming PC rig will be cheaper than a $300-$600 console...
Almost ALL PC games are $10-$15 cheaper. Then you have Steam that has these fire sales where you can get top AAA games for $10 sometimes.
In 2+ years if you are a serious gamer, the money you save on games alone is greater than the cost of a console
"Even the 1st game missed much of the tech of Resistance 1"
That comment made you lose all credibility..if you even had any to begin with....
REAL KILLER strikes again. Change you name I see
Like it or not, DD and cloud computing gaming is the future.
It might be some time before this happens but it's coming folks...like it or not...
It's not that simple...
The "good games" as you call it would mostly come from 3rd party developers and as seen with the few core games released NOT made by Nintendo, sold poorly.
So you have to ask yourself, why would 3rd party developers put in the time, money and man power to create "good games" when the demographics for the Wii does not buy those games in general?
Take a look at sales for all NON owned Nintendo games on the Wii that...
The software problems arises because the Wii was essentially a GameCube with motion controls and most 3rd party developers did not want to gimp the hell out of their titles to fit on a system that was lacking in every way possible compared to the Xbox360 and PS3 in the processing arena.
Moreover, it became a fully casual console and games OTHER than Nintendo's 1st party exclusives and a select few dance and casual games sold poorly.
Why put core games on the Wii if they wo...
Oh man this game is going to be damn great
For people wanting a powerful PS4, they better pray this rumor is not true and the PS4 is launched at a later date because if it does launch in 2012, the PS4 will only be slightly more powerful or the same as the Wii-U which launches around the same time.
If 2012 is the so called launch date than that means Sony had been working on the PS4 for some time and almost FINALIZED near production of the PS4 and chips inside the machine to make a 2012 launch schedule date...
...
Its here now...The PC LOL
My Two AMD 5970's in Crossfire will love this game ;-)
Can't wait for the awesomeness of this game!
Most people on this site have not seen the road map for AMD OR NVIDIA because if they did as you say, they would see that by 2012 and 2013 those chips will be more powerful than what is inside the XBOX360 and PS3
You will see mobile chips faster than what's inside the Xbox360 and PS3 by late 2012 early 2013. Look at Nvidia's and Qualcomm's release calendar to see.
Kal-Al for example from N8idia will be released in August of this year and has more GPU cores than the Sony Vita and is more powerful. Than the refresh for that chip called Logan comes 6 months laterand that will be 3 times as fast as that. Than 6 months later Wayne chipset is released that will be 10 times or more fast...
If the rumor GPU (AMD4890 or similar) inside the Wii-u turns out to be true, (we have no idea as of yet) then it is FAR more powerful than the GPU inside the PS3 or Xbox360.
This series of GPU's have anywhere from 100-125GB/s of bandwidth...
Now for example compare this to the PS3 overall bandwidth for the ENTIRE system including the CELL and the PS3's is 48-50GB/s...
Then throw in the other rumor about the Wii-U HAVING 1.5gigs of memory and three times as muc...
Its shaping up to be one amazing title
When these dev mention this its referring to not so much graphics but physics, advanced lighting and interaction with the environment...with high level graphics. All in one package.
BF3 is showing that these consoles are indeed old and aging. This is the first game to have this all in one package looking the way it does...on the PC. With full destruction.
You can make an amazing and I mean amazing looking game on the PS3 and Xbox360, YET to have a game look like Uncha...
The PS3 is near its limit like the Xbox60.
All those games you mentioned for the PS3 look amazing, YET have compromises...
All console games whether its the Wii, Xbox360 or PS3 have a mixture of low and high resolution textures do to memory and bandwidth limitations with aging CPU's and GPU's.
When you look at games like Witcher 2 and BF3 and Metro 2033 on the PC and compare them to ANY Console game, this becomes so evident that consoles (PS3/...
