Favorite gaming machine? Pc-Xbox360-ps3-Nintendo wii?

Im just curious, whats your favorite console, A pc cant really be called a console, But still..

Please say a reason to why you like one console better than the other.

I like the pc the best, Bechus its not just a gaming machine, its so much more! And all games are better on pc, No games are better on consoles than they are on pc, Take Dragon age origins for example, On pc its perfect, On the consoles the controls are ****ed up, Norwegian game rewiev sites have given the pc edition 6 out of 6 and the Ps3 and xbox360 edition 5 out of 6

and for the fact that you can download games much easier for a pc, Its not completely legal,But its free, And what are the odds for getting cought downloading? What they are out after is people Uploading, Is downloading actually illegal btw? Aint it just Uploading thats illegal?, A bit off topic there,

I used to be a huge fan of Sega then Playstation. But I've moved onto PC gaming a while ago. My taste in games also changed. I used to play a lot of action and fighters. X-men, Street fighter, Mortal Kombat. DBZ, etc. But now I'm mostly into FPS.

And unlike consoles, I can upgrade just part of my PC to play a new game, Like I did this past weekend that enables me to play any current game that I want (for the PC Of course). I can also multitask like crazy on the PC. On a console, it's just playing that same game for a while. On PC I can tab out, check emails, go back to playing, listen to music, burn a cd, etc.

It's not about being able to play console games on the PC, all the games that interest me nowadays usually come out for the PC anyway. Even played the Halo series here.

yeh, But theres a coming in march 2010 that wont come on pc, Red dead redemtion, A western Roleplaying game, Cant wait, Have to get my friend to make it work on pc. It only comes for Ps3 and xbox 360, Other than that, Most games are better in pc version anyways.

I'm a fan of pc, basically for all the reasons everyone mentioned before.
It's just..
It's your computer, and your gaming station.
It loves you.
Most of the time.

Consoles are good but I hate when there are games that were obviously made for pc (controls, etc), and they put it on a console and you feel restricted.
The Sims is a perfect example of that.

For me this question really depends on what I am playing. The best party game console is the Wii by far. Then there are certain games that just work better on a console or on the PC. For MMO's or RTS's the PC is king. For action games, FPS's and open world games I like consoles.

When I first got into gaming most games came out on the PC. PC gaming was really good back then. At this point though things have changed and you can't get a lot of the good games on PC anymore. Developers are moving away from making many PC games.

I picked PS3 on the pole since this is the machine I am buying my games on now. There are a couple reasons for this. First I think right now the PS3 is the best built console. Secondly it has everything I need built in: a blueray, wifi, and netflicks. Thirdly since I am not a huge multiplayer gamer they don't charge you to play online with people. I just don't play online enough to want to pony up the Xbox live fee.

I have all the systems listed in the house and they really are all good in their own ways.

Whaaat? You think Fps games are better on Consoles?:SI totally dissagree,Its the oposite, Well, I think all games are better on pc though, Bechus it has better controls,And yeh the multitasking, And if u have a really good pc u can even get better graphics than atleast a Xbox360, Maybe even ps3 But then u gotta spend a bit more money too

And yeh the fact that if you have a game on pc and you notice a bug, It is possible to fix the bug,Some bugs are unfixable on Ps3 and xbox360, And yeh,

and btw, Buying a ps3 instead of a pc aint any cheaper actually, Bechus to get the graphics a ps3 can offer, You need to spend 400-500 euro on a tv, Something like that, And the ps3 costs ? in norway it costs 2700 krones, Lets say 270 euro?,Yeh So thats 770 euro if you want a ps3 and a good tv to get the graphics a ps3 can give, If u dont have a good tv to play a ps3 on the graphics look like ****, And thats a fact, It looks horrible, I payed 600 euro or something for my pc, So to get good graphics its actually cheaper to buy a pc than a ps3, And again, In a year or two when the ps3 is old, and the new ps4 or something has come,Then the ps4 is gonna cost like 300 euro And if u wanna keep playing whit a playstation other that the old ps3, You gotta buy it for 300 euro, Instead of us pc gamers wich spends 150 euro on a new graphics card/cpu/ram Thats also why i love the pc

Yeh most of the time ur pc loves u, Not if you have windows vista though, Its programmed to hate the user, And to cause as many errors at it possibly can, Fortunatly i have Windows 7 now wich is great

atleast compared to Windows vista,Well..They couldnt have made anything worse than vista already was, Guess that was their plan, To make vista so bad that The new Windows 7 would look incredible compared

LemonRising · #10 12-30-2009, 10:44 AM

HAH I have Vista.

I really haven't had much trouble with it BUT it's not what I use to game on because the video card is very lowwww.
So I can't really say anything.
The only game I had trouble getting to play was diablo 2 but that was fixed easily by getting the newest patch.
I wish I could get windows 7 though ) :
