I play games exclusively on PC, since I already invested money in it and I'm too cheap to buy a console. Obviously, I'm biased, but I'd say my desktop (which is in no way "top of the line") does just as well, if not better, than any of my friends consoles. Plus, I prefer the mouse+keyboard interface to a controller, since that's what I'm used to.
Codithou, i agree that mods/steam/time it takes to release a new console are all contributing factors to PC's becoming more popular, but the hardware is outdated just as fast on computers. I think the big difference is that on a computer, you can put in a new graphics card, processor, etc. as you see fit. With a console, you're stuck with what you have until the next big thing comes out. That said, PC's will never be good for same-room multiplayer, unless you're having a lan party or some shit. Yobz, the $$$ is definitely in console gaming, but just because you don't game on a PC doesn't mean it's inferior. Can you adjust screen resolution/display settings on a console? I honestly don't know. anyway, different strokes different folks, dickboy.
sorry if this isn't super coherent, i'm burnt.
