Eh I like Xbox mostly for the fact that I can watch netflix on it, that and it's cheaper than PS3. Also, they've added Netflix to the Kinect hub so it's pretty much hands free now.

I think that PS3 is for people with Hi-Def TVs and friends with PS3s. XBox is for people with friends with XBox and not enough money for a good computer. PC is for people who love to customize everything, and like to brag about having an awesome computer (you can't do that with XB or PS3, can you?).

I'm a PC gamer myself but only because I don't own any consoles yet. Personally I have no problem against any platform or game, every single platform has their fair share of obnoxious 12 year olds. Xbox has the Halo and CoD bunch, PCs have their Valve games and WoW, and the PS3 has...Idk :/

It makes me sad to see how today's youngsters have given us consolers a bad name, especially those whom have PlayStations. To be honest, I'm glad PSN is down, since it takes me back to the days where we didn't need to hear "OMG TROLOLO HAX" 24/7. That, and I can laugh at the "Console Crusaders".

Yet it's the PC Gamers who are supposed to be elitist for rightly pointing out they have more processing capacity, while the XBox or Playstation gamer try to lord over everyone how awesome their system is whether it's the better selling Nintendo systems or PCs with vastly more powerful hardware.
Anony
almost 14 years ago
There have been people advocating PC Gaming was dying and consoles were taking over since at least 1985. The only new fold in this is console advocates in the recent generation have decided to pretend they have vastly more processing power then they do to antagonize PC Gamers.
