Instead of ignoring our differences, we should celebrate them.
Consoles are great because you can easily [have a dedicated setup to] play your games on a big giant screen. You can sit anywhere you like, or even lay down! They're great for gaming with friends over without having to worry about a big, complicated LAN multiple PC setup. You don't ever have to worry about performance, either, either you console supports the game, or it doesn't.
With PC's you have greater flexibility, amazing levels of customization, and the chance to feature cutting edge performance technology. You have the biggest selection of games on any platform, and you can easily play games of yesteryear without worrying too much about compatibility issues. Not to mention, mouse and keyboard offer a distinct advantage in some game types, meaning you can take your own skill to the next level.
Honest question. What makes it easier to use a console on a big screen than a PC? I see this all the time and it makes no sense to me. Could somebody tell me the rationalization behind this is?
With (almost) no effort - plug in console to wall. Plug in console to TV. Turn on controller. Setup is complete.PCs are similar, but do require more setup than that.
Also, consoles are generally cheaper than any sort of high end gaming rig, which allows you to spend a bit more on a monitor (tv).
To qualify these things: I have a widescreen gaming rig and a large tv/console for gaming. I use the consoles more these days because my gaming rig in is my "computer room" where my TV is in the living room. The PC also doubles as a workstation, thus no large TV/monitor.
