I believe I was misinterpreted. When I said consoles do not become obsolete as fast as PCs do, I wasnt referring to power, I was referring to the ability to play the newest games. I mean, if I would have bought a sweet gaming PC 4 years ago, it would not be able to handle the newer games very well, if at all. (BF2, FEAR) A console on the other hand, will usually have a lifespan of 5 years, and doesnt require video driver updates, virus protection, or memory upgrades. Now, while this means consoles are a lot less "hassle", it doesnt make them better. PCs, as said before, are infinitely more useful, but as I said, that freedom comes at a cost. In the end, I would say that if you only want to play games, get a console system, but if you want ot surf the web, do homework, or other functions, just stick with a PC.
