Very good point. People can get a console and be confident that they can have 3-4 years worth of modern/current/new games on it. with a PC it is different, since the new games use the newest technology available, so to an extent there is some constant upgrading.
another good point. in my mind there isn't a question about which is superior, the console or the PC. the answer is definitely the PC, since it can do infinitely more (well, maybe not infinitely, but easily a whole lot more).
but compare Hades' point to Angs'. i guess it really depends on your preferences... i mean, could you buy a bare minimum PC that does all the multimedia functions, and then get a console to use for gaming? and thereby complete your multimedia needs? sounds good to me... but maybe it doesn't sound good to others... but why are we talking about this in this thread?
I still want to see NWN2 for the 360!
