Well, I like using the computer for games, like free multiplayer (compared to Xbox), or cheats on the game, but I also like Consoles better because its not laggy and it has good graphics, which would you think is better to play with???

Tough choice, I personnally go with console gaming just because I got no luck with computers (always getting problems )

Computers, more more complex when it comes to games since they're more options for controls and that allows developers to put more in. Plus, much wider range of upgrades/updates since you can download what other people have created much easier

If you want no lag and great graphics consoles. However for variety I choose PCs.

Pc gaming, I don't like consoles, you have to replace them once per year.

I prefer consoles cos they got better grapchics and all BUT.. Console games are more expensive than computer games and If you have an expensinve computer, it's not very much different from a console.

I hope you know you can buy a cheap wire for about 3-8 dollars and you can hook your Desktop Computer to you TV??
My dad bought an HD TV and he hooked up his System to his TV so that he can watch videos (like on youtube) in an HD TV go look in best buy or something, and I like PC and Console, but you know, MODS for the PC

Yeah.. or just not own a crappy PC.

Then buy a bigger monitor? I have an LCD display that's 38". Try slapping that on your desk.

Are you high?


Computers are better for gaming. Here's why, in point form.

Better Graphics
Better interface (keyboard/mouse/joystick/wheel/gamepad/anything else)
Easier to service
Easier to upgrade
Better cooling/airflow & less heating related problems
Wide range of components/PCs to suit your budget

And that's the pure gaming stuff. Don't forget that it's also a PC, which means that it does a lot else including:

It's a workstation
You can use it as a PVR & media center

Ever notice that with the last few generations of console all they're doing is getting closer and closer to being a computer? Why settle for a substitute. Get the real thing.

I prefer PC gaming.
I think console games are to easy to complete.

You have to replace them once per year.

This gets very annoying when you buy a console and find out that a new version is coming out soon.

Point taken; however, I would also point out that the Wii is not in direct competition with either the PS3 or Xbox 360, or PCs, as the titles they put out are something completely different then traditional games; as such, I would be reticent to include them in my comparison, as I think they are in a different category.
