I am genuinely curious as to what makes people buy consoles nowadays. The only thing I can think of is that the lifespan of a console is longer than that of a PC - but all in all, to me upgrading a PC still seems about as expensive, if not cheaper, than buying a console.

And don't almost all console games make their way to the PC sooner or later nowadays? I suppose there are some controller issues with games ported over to the PC, but can't one just buy some sort of PC-adapted gamepad thingy?

As for my fav games, they are, and will probably always be the Homeworld 2, Dawn of War and the first three Total War titles (Shogun, Medieval and Rome) with their countless expansions and mods. It's a pity my PC can't handle Supreme Commander - I'm not really crazy about the basic game, but there's a Warhammer 40,000 mod in the making for it, and since I'm a Dawn of War fan...

For a hardcore gamer like myself, I have all consoles and a great gaming PC, and I can tell you this: For me and many people, console games and exclusives are more than enough reason to own consoles.

Consoles, for one, seem to have more adventure/platform, survival horror, and overall artsy, unique titles (Would you ever find ICO on PC?? Doubtful)

Also, despite games "eventually" coming to PC, some prefer the officiality, controller, and to own a game on first release. Also, alot of games are being made FOR consoles, and they are ported to PC, which can degrade things greatly.

For me there is nothing like owning a solid game collection for my consoles. I have a strong connection to console gaming, sentimental and nostalgic. Consoles always feel better for me, I prefer sitting on my couch with a controller and going deep into a movie like game, like say Heavenly Sword, which I could never have experienced without a PS3.

They are all great, but my PC is usually for RTS and FPS, and above all Adventure...all three of which my consoles also can do, and have their own benefits as well!

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

DEATH TO SPORTS GAMES! You can just go outside and play football. You can't exactly just go outside and save the world from certain destruction.

Pffff...maybe YOU don't save the world from certain destruction, but by preaching the word of Kreühn Köhrmahn and the prophecies of Nebëhr Gudahtt I save humanity from certain doom regularly.

Halo 3- what else?
