If my PC is good enough to run all these games, why can't it? They are completely ripping us all off with consoles which have now become proprietry PCs with exclusive games. The trouble is, and the main problem I have, is that I am perfectly fine playing games on my PC.
The only thing giving the consoles an advantage is exclusive games forcing you to buy their system (when a PC could easily run the same game just as well/better). If it had controllers and split-screen play, it should be over for the consoles. Now that consoles have these problems too, the PC is looking more inviting. You didn't have lots of different hardware configurations, some of which can actually run games better than others (thinking about NXE here and hard drives). You didn't have to be concerned that your console might freeze up or that it might not be able to play games as smoothly as they should.
You didn't worry about settings and options and installs and patches and expansions and updates. You could take that same disk, with your memory card, round to your friend's house and play on his console. In the past, consoles had the advantage that you could just pop a disk in and play - no fuss, no hassle. If PCs had split-screen in most games and had standardised wireless controllers, consoles will lose their last advantage.
