with all their motion sensing

and not to mention all these batteries I have to put into 'em

plus they come out with new ones every 4 or 5 years that aren't backwards compatible.

A modern PC is hardly more advanced than you kids' standard NES or Tamagotchi.

Pretty sure you've got that backwards there, chief.

What do you mean by this?

dudeofea wrote:(also they lack cheap controllers)

Okay now I am certain you don't live in the same universe I do.

Well Computers are gaming consoles and vice versa.
By the graphics I meant that the GPU chips are more powerful in gaming consoles than in most computers.
And by controllers I meant actual buttons and joysticks, not keyboards and mice.

You're backpedaling 'cause you know you said something wacky.

No, I'm pretty sure most graphics cards today can run at a resolution greater than 1920*1080. You know, that wacky resolution people call FULL HD OMG

Ten minutes of research shows that this is blatantly false. Yes, it is true that I cannot afford such things, but that is because I am dirt fucking poor. I managed to find an arcade fightstick, a regular gamepad, and a regular joystick with a combined price of about ten dollars more than a wireless XBox 360 controller with a play and charge pack.

Plus who in the HELL would use a controller unless they were playing old shittily playstation ports like silent hill. The reason computer gaming is superior is because the mouse/keyboard combo is so quick and responsive that no gamepad can keep up. Fuck you and your joysticks I got a trackball and I will twitchkill the fuck out of you.

That being said if we are slowly delving into a PC vs Console debate I would like to say

The 360 has Dead Rising and the computer doesn't. Also Red Dead Redemption but rockstar will eventually make a port like they always do.
But dead rising alone makes consoles worth their weight.

I'm supposed to research? :[]

I admit i'm wrong. But when I first posted that I was comparing PCs to This Advanced Piece of Technology

I mean it has 3D effects and a 20Mhz Processor.

For the record, the whole time I've been following this thread, I've been comparing PCs to This Advanced Piece of Technology.

what is that

I don't know.

You know what I like? That I can be a smug PS3 owner with my free online. I don't have to pay the price of a full game per-year to use internet I already pay for.

Plus you can be smug about getting to use the Joker in Arkham Asylum.

Never played that game. I'M TOO BUSY TRYING TO BEAT THE DAMNABLE BATOMYS IN VALKYRIA CHRONICLES.
