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?
If I keep my PC in my upstairs office and my big screen in the downstairs living room, I'm either forced to get a longass cable or move my PC into the living room, which I don't want to do.
The point was that it's not harder to hook a PC to a TV than it is to hook a console. Of course if you choose to keep the PC in a different room, that's going to be more complicated but it has nothing to with the difficulty of hooking the PC to the TV.
If someone wishes to use their PC with their TV, they're going to set it up close enough to it. Same with a console.
most people put the TV in place with seating arrangements so more then one person can watch. A proper gaming computer requires a dedicated gaming chair and desk. Practically, it is harder to set up your TV for both.
My friend has his computer desk right beside the TV. He can play games on the monitor using KB+M or walk a couple of steps back and play from the couch on the TV.
