Still there are better games that translate better on console and likewise on the pc, fighting games for example are horrible on the pc while much better on the console, same with wrestling games, which is still fighting, same with sports games, you ever play madden with keyboard or nhl? Good luck, same with like rts games on pc do better than on console side, although with revolution it may change. :bleh:

It's quite simple to deal with that problem. Gamepads are inexpensive and you can get them with the same layouts as console controllers and many others.

Why would I want to do RTS on a console where you have to play tons to go online? I like pcs best. Much more multi-tasking possibilities.

There seems to be ALOT of bias in this thread.
Instead of just saying what's equivelant to "it's going to suck" or "I don't like it, so don't buy it" maybe you should give him some valid reasons.

The only reason not to buy this is because of the price, quite expensive.
And who said it was going to be the loser? So far it has a nearly record breaking amount of pre-orders, meaning this system is going to have a fantastic kick-start, and all the launch titles are great, Perfect Dark Zero, Kameo, Call Of Duty 2, Gun, and a crap-load of other stuff.

Along with that, just look at a in-game video of one of the various games (check out Gamespot) and tell me you do not want this system.
Call Of Duty 2 actually runs smoother than it does on a high-end PC system, so that's enough reason to check it out, forget updating your computer, that'd be more expensive than anything out there.
The Xbox will most likely keep you from having to bother with any need for good-looking visuals, not only that, but Oblivion is coming out for the system too, and it'll be easier to play it on the system than on the PC, as said before, updating sucks.

The negatives are a few, it's hard to judge which system you should buy now, because none of the others have been released, nor have there been any hands on experiences (except for the Revolution) so I suggest you play it safe and wait to find out which system beats out all the others.

Why is it cooler and better?
Hey, it's also kinda pointless to buy a older console, yes it is cheaper, but those consoles are at the end of their life, so it'd be useless to get one now, when the game income slows down.

Stick with PC, Xbox is overated, the only really good Xbox exclusive game they have is Halo.

And with PC you wan't have to always pay to play online also, a huge bonus.

I'd rather pay 500 dollars and get a top of the line Nvidia graphics card then pay 500 dollars annd get some stupid Xbox, especially if I'm going to be hooking it up to my computer monitor anyways.

So that leaves out Ninja Gaiden Black?
How about Far Cry Instincts?
I guess that means the original Ninja Gaiden sucks too.
Maybe even Escape From Butcher Bay!
I guess MechAssualt falls into that category too.
Oh, don't forget Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge.
Dead Or Alive Ultimate too!
Wow, Deathrow too!
Ooh, remember Genma Onimusha is crap too!
I didn't know Oddworld : Stranger's Wrath sucked!
Or even Kingdom Under Fire: The Crusaders!
Throw Jade Empire in there too please.

I don't see what you mean Moogle.

Well apparently on nintendo revolution it will be free to play games online using their service so I've heard and downloads for old games will cost somewhere around 3-5 bucks I think per game, I think Nintendo has the most to gain and is generating a lot of hype with the system, getting a lot of praise from developers.

And paying 500 for a video card? Whoa I mean honestly getting a top of the line video card now a days is just pointless as like 5 months down the road the developers have come up with something much better.
