Why console over PC?

It's partially the video card mfg's fault. Wish they would stop making so many overlapping SKU's.

That is pretty sad for Nvidia! The top cards are the old 8800's. Although nice showing of 260's. Also good showing for the 5000 ATI cards. I'm still looking for the 400's and don't see em. Hmmmmm. Look at all the Nvidia M products, freaking Mac's, lol.

I think if the competition and models of video cards was a bit more simplified and easier to understand for newcomers (hell, or even myself!), it might become more popular.

Deciding upon a video card is worse than buying a car IMHO.

Yeah, at least with a car you've had a few and can talk to others about your choice. Plus there are commercials on TV that tell you about one Vs. the other, and you konw it's still going to drive on all the roads in another year, a Video card can't make the same promise to play all the games even a year later

what I have noticed on other forums is that the consolite crowd like them for the ease of use like being able to pop a disk in and go, but this generation the consoles are slowly turning into a very very restricted PC since they now have patching abilities, downloads, online features and even partial game installs.

Sooner or later I think the area is going to get so gray that they are just going to be prebuilt low end PC's with a custome GUI much like we all see on netbooks.

Let's just hope consoles are more reliable in the future. Yeah, I'm looking at you, Xbox 360.

Rest assured that when I finally complete my goals and enter the video game industry I shall stay faithful and true to my PC bretheren.

And amen (and amen).
