[member=6733]TheDead[/member], you are probably right, but being serious about anything - even about the usage of Windows in some circumstances - takes a decision to make, to become committed. Consoles are standardized, have targeted infrastructure, they simply just work in the most practical sense, because they are entirely meant to do one thing complex and do it as best as they can be made to.
With the PC, the common compatibility issues and related dissonances - it is actually something that Microsoft needs to be thanked for, which is, giving us the Rome of the PC realm - as well as the constant upgrade pressure, simply spoils the experience and may actually become a well of frustration.
Who in here does not know this feeling when you see your PC falls behind the contemporary big gaming scene requirements so much you are basically out of the loop, forcing you to become a second grade consumer, seeking out replacements, rather than things of choice?
Then comes the ideology: it is good, because it made me realize - and so on. No, it made you fall out of the loop. Your decision made you realize - a decision not to catch up.
Somehow, it is kind of paradoxical that gaming consoles have become so successful. This means something. This means that people who want entertainment, do not want to deal with the PC and least of all, the commandline.
