Excuse me? I'm sorry, but I'm either going blind/deaf, or you are being one of the most ignorant person I've ever met. We can't afford consoles?! What brand of crack have you been smoking lately, because, just so you know, PC gaming, gaming rig PC's, etc. costs 10x more than dumb consoles WITH their stupid controllers. One good gaming rig PC is about 1000-2000, custom made or store bought, while the "computers for idiots" aka, the gaming consoles are like what, the most expensive one out there, the PS3, is 500-600 dollars?
Speak stupid things AFTER graduating elemantary school. Peace out kid.
I'm going to have to ask you the same thing, Ipjuunin. You are the ignorant person.
I don't think you realize that consoles are more user-friendly, and that there is almost a computer in nearly every household in America. Since they aren't really meant for gaming like the $2000 PCs you mentioned, most of the computers that people are playing with are hand-me-downs or still belong to the parents. They didn't have to pay a damn thing for it, they just paid for the copy of Halo PC. Now, since they didn't get the money to buy their computer, what the hell makes you think that they can afford a $400 console?
Yes, I do see your point, a good gaming computer is much more expensive than a console, but those who have good gaming computers likely won't play on their consoles (if they even have any) often.
I say the same thing to you, "Speak stupid things AFTER graduating elementary school. Peace out kid."
I understand your point, and kept that fact in mind while I was ranting. So I am not mad at you for using my quote. xP
But think of it this way. In your example, the kid buying just the copy of Halo PC, but not doing anything special for their PC's, I'm not sure if they're considered my standards of a "PC gamer".
When I said PC gaming, I meant actually doing stuff with your PC, as in upgrading it, knowing almost everything there is to know about it, yaddy yaddy ya. Basically the hardcore stuff. Now compare that with console gamers. They just get the console(s), the game(s) they want, the amount of controllers they want, the amount of memory cards they want, and that's pretty much it, unless they want a High-Def Plasma Widescreen TV as a sideorder. PC gamers spend alot more, have more knowlegde, and even gains more throughout the PC-building/different store comparing. If they can afford alot more than granted, then they can definitely afford 2 PS3's for the heck of it.
