... and how you want to game, and play with friends.
I have a computer job. I do not want to spend my evenings sitting in the same chair (or similar) that I spent my 10 hour work-day sitting in.
For multiplayer, I can have my buddies over, crack a few bevvies, and play video games on a big screen TV on a big ass wrap-around leather couch. Or hey, Xbox Live / PSN, whichever, but it's still different than if I were to do it at my PC.
Extolling similar cost for greater power when the
way you use the product is fundamentally different makes the constant comparison between game consoles and PC gaming a repetitive exercise in
missing the bloody point.
There is DEFINITELY a place for PC gaming. Hell, without a couple games of Prop Hunt on Garry's Mod when I'm on business trips, I'd be bored out of my mind in a lot of the sleepier places I get sent to. But let's not pretend they're targeting the exact same primary demographic, or that the cost of a gaming PC versus a console makes any difference to someone who is genuinely
in the market for a console.
