"the Great Console vs. PC Debate"

ummmm....dude......there is no debate

pc DESTROYS console in every imaginable way, you can't even claim the convienience card anymore, since console games are WAY more of a hassle than a steam game, put the discin, dl the patch, install the patch, wait forever for the game to load, agree to terms and service for online, wait forever to find a match of crappy peer to peer with 12 other people playing on sub-hd jaggie covered maps

pc plays 95% of all ps3/360 games and plays EVERY OTHER CONSOLE game ever created up to ps3/360

ds, wii, ps2, ps1, psp, n64, gamecube, ds, genisis, snes....ect....ect....ect...al l flawless, upscaled, 60 beautiful frames

and there are THOUSANDS and THOUSANDS of games on pc that will NEVER be on console, but I guaratee, 100% that I will be playing uncharted 3 and killzone 3 in 1080p at 60 frames on my pc in the next 3 years

let's face it, last gen ps3/360 games look TERRIBLE, they run terrible, are over priced, and saturated with dlc, online passes, awful multiplayer per to peer garbage connections

there is no debate, pc going up against console is like rocket launcher vs. plastic spork

its wrong to even think next gen ps4/720 have a chance and competing on any real level with pc, they already lost

you will be lucky to get 720p with 4x aa, or maybe, if are really lucky, 1080p with 2x aa at 30 frames

in other words, what a mid-spec, common gaming rig was doing 5 years ago

congrats ps4, welcome to 2007, when ever and IF ever, you do come out
