I have come to a realization that to me, PC gaming is probably the way to go. There are a lot of reasons for this. All you have to do is make sure that your computer has the right specs and you can play pretty much any major game. World Of Warcraft is probably one of the biggest games and it is a PC game. (I don't enjoy it myself.) I can hook my computer up to my tv and stereo, so it is basically just like playing a console. I don't even know if i want to buy another console again. I will be keeping my WII because of the motion controls. I spend more time on my computer than any console anyway, so why not? All these extra features that are coming out on the console such as, web browsers and downloadable demos really aren't that special. I bought in to it at first, but now I realize, I have two computers and they can already do all of that crap. Buying a console to me, is pretty much a waste of money. Just put money into your computer.

Console for me, because it's less hassle.

That's the thing, installing video cards really aren't that much of a hassle. They aren't really that expensive either, compared to buying a new console. (Especially if the prices such as the PS3 continue.) I know what you mean though, consoles do seem the easie, more convinient way.

I prefer using a console machine. The only times I prefer playing on a PC rather than console or adventure games in the style of Sam'n'Max, Monkey Island, etc. And solitaire.

Console. Sure because it's simple to run, but also the fact that right now so many good games come to the consoles and either take months to come on PC or not come to PC at all.
That said those games that are transfer from Console to PC have better graphics or extra stuff included (I.E. Mass Effect & GTA 4)

I vote console.
I used to prefer the PC, but it became even more of a hassle to keep up-to-date and compatible. And in the end, just buying a single console every few years isn't much more expensive, if at all, than it was getting more memory, faster CPUs, or video cards.

Warhawk and Twisted Metal don't exist, Nor Ratchet, jak, and Sly, No Uncharted, Jumping Flash never existed. Sony really doesn't have a strong and diverse first and second party system, nope not at all. |

The other games don't quite interest me much. I was talking more about the Metal Gear Solids, Silent Hills, Final Fantasys and God Wars. |

A new twisted Metal is in the works, but not much has been said. And I was only listing Sony games, not Third party exclusives. So God of War would be there. Sony's internal support has always been fantastic, probably better than Nintendo's(Sony paces their stuff a lot better, and it is more diverse, while Nintendo's big hitters hot harder). |

I'm not a big fan of PC gaming, generally speaking. I don't like MMOs, I don't tend to enjoy WRPGs most of the time, RTS get old, FPS get old, all I really like are simulation type stuff on the PC at this point...and they're not usually spec-heavy, so I just tend to stick with those.
So yeah for the most part I am a console gamer. I have been since I was a kid and it's pretty much gonna stay that way.

Console, It is simple and I don't need a certain processor to have the best graphics.

Console for me. I'm not a hardcore gamer, so I don't need ultra slick graphics or accelerated hardware, and when we're all sitting around having drinks or something, we can throw in a bunch of stuff that allows for better social interaction.
