In another argument, why did you post this on the Abandonia forum of all places? This is filled with the older people who've been around for years, and consider older gaming the holy grail on the PC, so they think the console is the devil (some of them anyway), not only that, but there are PC fanatics in here, meaning, lots of bias.
Who says the pc-maniacs have to be old? Im 13 and think consoles are weapons of the devil.
As is my dog's squeaky toy, but that is an entirely different matter.

Why wont she just shut up...

Soul Calibur 2 and SSB were wicked games, you'll never see those on a pc. :bleh: Although still a little ticked Sony got the exclusive rights to Soul Calibur 3 for the ps2 <_< couldn't they just have released it for all 3 systems this generation or next generation and make much more money imo. In terms of revenue though consoles easily outwin against the pc have to say, personally I have both likes for the pc and likes for the console side. :angel:

NIntendo revolution is gonna kick arse, we'll be able to play Seiken Densetsu 3 on console! (only on snes emus' before due to it being japanese, so no one but Japanese own real cartredge). Also, the weird controller is gonna be interesting, plus, the system's cost is going to be planned to be lower that teh 360 and PS3 But ill defenantly get a ps3 LATER, but NO 360 for me, i despise X-Box stuff..

That was a horrid.. console... thing... whatever it was.

@Moogle: And buying a GameCube is not a "big mistake" it's just you being too assinine and short sighted to actually play any good games, those two you bought are fantastic, and your inability to actually enjoy consoles is a waste.

It's a matter of personal taste is all, I personally prefer consols, but this is probably due to my childhood with the intellivision (cloudy mountain has to be one of my favourites to this day) at my side. Both have their pros and cons, some genres being almost impossible on one platform, and some seeming almost tailer made for them.

Exclusive gems really affect the choice of purchase as well. RE4 (which is now on PS2 for some reason, the buggers), ICO, Zelda, Halo, Colossus, the FF series are all huge factors when deciding what purchase to go for. Personally, I find the games affect the consumer more than the hardware does. The Neo Geo and Dreamcast demonstrate this (although both were amazing, too bad...).

Although, I do think the Revolution has the potential to change alot of that due to it's user interface. RTS, FPS, and all the games in between won't really pose a problem control wise, and free wi fi doesn't exactly hurt.

If you're referring to his comment towards Moogles GC games, neither are FPS games. Both are fighting.

Bloody Piggy, you do realise that Crimson Skies actually came out on the PC a long time before it came out on the XBox, along with free multiplayer and actually more features?

You can talk about XBox Live not having any lag or anything, but on the other hand if you have broadband anyway then lag isn't a problem. Obviously, Dial-up vs. XBox live will show much less lag on XBox Live, but then Broadband vs XBox Live will be pretty much equal, plus you don't have a to pay out ?5 a month.

Also, the GameCube was underpowered, there were very, very few good games for it and the controller wass terrible.

All of the games that are coming out for XBox are basically sequels - it'd be nice to see a new game to launch the platform, to be honest.

P.S. Far Cry Instincts was pure shite.
