Why I dislike console gaming:

The reason I dislike console gaming in not in the fact of the games at all. It's how the consoles are built.

Consoles today are built on a 10 year cycle, which is great and all except for the fact that you are stuck with how powerful that console is. I mean look at the advancements that can happen in 5 years, and consoles today are not upgradable. So game developers have to work within the restrictions of that console, which could have came out 7 years ago.


PC, however, is constantly evolving. Me and my brother are building a top of the line PC right now. And it's incredibly easy to take a part out and install a new, more improved one. So game developers can make top of the line games and keep them that way.

A great example of how consoles are lagging behind is in Battlefield 3. On PC BF3 will have twice the amount of things available. Things like: 64 player combat on Pc, but 32? Or less on console. The frame rates per second are massively different, with Pc having more than double the amount on console. ect.

This is because PCs are constantly evolving, and can handle new and upcoming things, while console is stuck in the past.
