The problem is many people still recalls PC gaming as sitting at a desk with a 15" tube monitor, and you have to upgrade your PC components every 4-6 months to have games running at 20fps, update drivers, hardware conflicts, lots of wires everywhere, viruses, etc etc.
Where consoles you pop the disc in sit back on your couch and play the game, put the headset on and you can instantly interact with others in MP....
I'm a techie, and though I don't envision it like that... I can still see the appeal of consoles. I kind of dig playing games while sitting on the couch. It's more laid-back and I don't feel like I'm still sitting at my job while I'm trying to relax and unwind.
Typically: you just pop in the cartridge, DVD, whatever and you're good to go. No
worrying about the current nVidia drivers not running this game well I guess my CPU on the minimum requirements means the BARE minimum the voice chat for this game sucks or doesn't exist... let me install client-X
To install it's just: hook up to network, plug into TV, done.
To play: sit on couch, switch the TV input, pop up headphones, and enjoy.
That being said, consoles are getting more PC-like.
You have to worry about "Hard Disk space" again. You are required (or coerced) into downloading a game update/patch, or even a console OS update. Since online is such a big component, you have to worry about whether your spouse adjusted the firewall settings on your router. etc |
