youre right !

Gabe is probably the only big guy (no pun indendet) in the gaming industry who knows what hes doing

I completely agree. The gaming ladscape is all but set in stone.

The OUYA story is insane. With Onlive support, it's just the best console you could get. It'll never get old [as long as it can stream 1080p videos for Onlive, you'd have AAA titles as soon as they go out], it runs on a very open platform, making it easier for any software and hardware companies to innovate... It feels like it's just the beginning of a big earthquake.

Gaben saw the opportunity ahead of everyone else, I'm just wondering what will stop them [OUYA ?]. The content is incredible, the platform is very user-friendly, I just wish it would become platform agnostic...

In any case, I'm pretty sure PC gaming has a long road ahead. Performance is far better, modding is possible, and you can always update your pc... Once you bought a XBox, the only upgrade you got is the HDD...

 Actually Logan, Microsoft already has a rumor mill going on that is being proven over and over, the next gen MS console will be DX11 based, and future proofed to work with any future revision, as well being easily ported from PC, probably going back to PC-style hardware to make it easier on developers, that's why all the games back on the XBOX looked identical on the PC.  Sony is going AMD, that's already been said and done.  Besides hardware, they are both looking at streaming game services, but the problem is that not everybody has the bandwidth to do so unfortunately.

 Great post really.

 Great post really.

Gold Rates in Malaysia

 Very well put, one big reason some people stick to console, say, they have gamer parents who wish not to use a PC, or as I put it, there are countries were getting a good gaming PC is next to impossible, but consoles are aplenty.  And I agree with envaglising the whole console gamepad on PC, fuck, you witnessed me, albeit with a crooked eyebrow and a sneer, playing Skyrim on my PC with my PS3 gamepad, but it works beautifully with the default clunky ass interface.  I recently got Saints Row The Third, and I play the hell out of it with my gamepad, why, it's easier on my hands for long game sessions, and atm, this Lycosa enjoys glitching and causing mass  fuck ups during gameplay. 

I have heard about that recent screw up with indie games, but that's only on the indie section, if a dev releases it non-indie, and cross platform, then they have no issues.  I do agree with that, but indie games should be on any platform, they usuallly are not better stuck to one platform or another.  Super Meatboy for example, first released on xbox and PS3, gamepad works SO much better on those two, and the dev's stuck in a free "DLC" downloader that you can download custom levels.  

I do agree the PC vs (x)platform needs to grow up, but I've been reading gaming magazines since I first bothered learning english in 1990, and only reason I sounded the way I do is, well, sales have been always the way to show who's leading, yes, but I also say, who cares?  What I will say is, that's fucking awesome that a dev can make that much money, and this doesn't apply to just EA.  Marketers said the xbox 360 failed in Japan, but explain then, why the hell do they have a metric fuckton of niche games on the marketplace (you have to register a Japanese email account and make a xbox live silver account with that). 

The same group of marketers always say this and that, this console failed, same console goes up in sales, it's a trend, always is, always will be. 

I will agree on your point about uneducated people bashing things they know not of.  At the same time, even educated points sometimes just seem frivelous, I will say it again, just play it because you are a gamer, that's what a gamer really is in my opinion, and most would agree, being a gamer means that you enjoy video games of any kind, or as some, a certain genre.

Also, remember, when the 360 was released, nobody was thinking about a 3.2ghz triple core processor with two SMT's per core.  Then again, it's a Power based processor, the same goes for the cell processor, nobody was thinking about a giant multicore processor in the home in that way, now they are.  Remember, sometimes consoles do help push PC devs further the tech.  Take a look at games back in 2005 when the 360 was released.  Yes, the PC is now ahead, but still, it's humbling to see the trends how each platform helps each other. 

On a last note, as stated previously, kind of glad both MS and Sony looking at using sem-standard hardware to ease cross-development, it worked for the original Xbox, and it will work down the road.

 I own all 3 consoles, as well as multiple computers:  I see no reason to console bash, however I can tell you that the majority of the games I want to play.. play better on the computer with a keyboard and mouse.

 I personally prefer the graphics, style of game play and the open ability to mod my games that the pc provides for me.

 I am an avid gamer. I have been my whole life. And honestly, when it comes to the PC vs. console debate I say, "Why?"

Does it matter who plays what? Does it matter what system is better? Not really. As long as whatever your system of choice, you are given a good and quality experience.

I own all of the consoles, and several computers in my home, and for the certain games I play on them, I love each machine for it. I had my debates on wether or not i'd play any of the machines, but then looked at the titles of games, and if there were cross platform ones, and just decided screw it.

For the cross platform games, if there is a PC version, I play it on the PC. Some titles play well on the PC when ported to it, some don't. Some games I would rather play on x console because the game was designed to work on that console better.

Take for instance, Gran Turismo 5. Yeah, that game could be awsome on PC. You can get steering wheels for PC everywhere, and console like controllers too. But the majority of the game was designed with the PS3 in mind. And honestly, that is where it should stay.

Every machine I have, I play at least once a week. More if I'm into a current game I jus bought. But I just don't see a reason to compare them. Each was designed for a specific style of play, and therefore cannot be compared.

The PS3 was made, to expand the abilities of developers to make a more imersive game with the Cell processor. Unfortunately, in Sony's greed, they made it hard to code for proprietary reasons.

360 was made to bring closer multiplayer games. 

The Wii was made, and advertised to a whole group of people that everyone was ignoring. The family. And their gamble paid off. Big time.

PC gaming, is kind of the holy grail in the aspect that you can customize your PC to fit the playing style, and amount of imersion you want in your games, just by switching out a bit of hardware.

I say, stop the bickering. Stop comparing. As long as we're all gamers, and as long as we all enjoy gaming, who's to say which is best, and just have fun gaming!!
