See, I'd think it'd be the opposite. to be a gamer, all you need is a PC.mjhhiv post=9.68463.629963 said:
All the others are just garnish, at best.
Then again, what's a gamer? my personal definition isn't just some guy that buys all the mainstream games. To me, it's someone who truly enjoys trying different games, either independently made or not. And there just isn't anywhere NEAR as many choices for PS3/XBox/Wii. Not even close.
I stick with one per generation mostly because if I had all three I would be flooded with good games and I can barely finish all the worth while games on one console a generation let alone 3. This generation I opted for a PS3.
I own a 360 and a kick-ass PC.
i couldn't care less about the 360 though, i mean, inferior graphics, controls, etc? no thanks. I'll take the PC any day. i basically use the 360 for GTA4 and soon force unleashed. but everything else, especially shooters and RTS's are on the PC.

Oh if only I could use my PC for everything (I can but right now the proper..."tools"...aren't available yet) - but if I did I still couldn't get those pesky exclusives, so I'm just one system away from owning it all but if I buy a 360 and I'm convinced to get XBL then it must be a cold day in hell. Anyway, I've got all except the 360, and unless something drastic happens to the gaming industry the 360 would be a waste of money for me..since...you know...I've got everything else.
(Not saying "the 360 suck" - just trying to convey that I don't like it.)

I'm sorry I just couldn't stop laughing.Aerach said:
I own all 3 consoles a DS and a PSP. I use my 360 the most and I most recently came to the conclusion that all the consoles suck. Each one has a flaw that will effect it's long term proformance, but if you have all 3 it seems ok.
Uber PC and both Handhelds, so I support all 3 companies (MS, Sony, Nintendo), does that count?
Plus my Mom, Sister, and GF all have Wiis, so I can play the games that I would most likely miss the most from the consoles, since anything really good is either on PC/PS3/360 or is a strict console only PS3 game that I probably don't care about.

Including my sister's DS (I've done every game for her) I have every thing except the PS3 because I can't afford it. 
Billy-j Bioshock is being ported to PS3.
You'll miss out on games like Fable 2 and Gears 2 if you get a PS3, but you'll miss out on Resistance 2 and LBP if you get a 360. :/

Nah you're not a troll nor an idiot. Good response. But I still believe a "true gamer" (which is open for a wide debate) should want variety. And there is no greater variety of video games then what's available on the PC. Of course, I'd highly recommand getting a controller that mimics a consoles controller for certain games, such as GRID or Resident Evil and the like.Indigo_Dingo post=9.68463.630649 said:
And of course you can't forget the mainstream games that are PC only, which the console'ers won't get to play. Medieval 2, Crysis and Crysis Warhead, Neverwinter Nights 2, Diablo 3, Starcraft 2, Gothic 3, sims 2 and 3, Company of Heroes, a vast majority of the MMO's (some of the most played games in the world) and plenty more. Then you also have games that suffer from consolities.. such as the World in Conflict port that's coming soon. It's a phenomenal game for the PC that has to "dumb" itself down for people to be able to play it on consoles.
What about user created content and mods? They can really help make a bad game, good (Oblivion) or make a good games life span increase (Baldur's gate 2)
Again, my point was mainly about the variety you get on the PC. How many grand strategy games can you really play on Xbox? How about sports MMO's like Freestyle basketball or Shot online, which are low budget but fun as hell (and free)? and of course there's countless independent titles out there, and tons of "old" PC exclusives that arrived before consoles infiltrated every home in America. The amount of video games I can play for free (America's Army, F.E.A.R. Combat, lots of other titles) is nothing to scoff at, either.
I'm hoping it's only a matter of time before people realize a console is nothing more a then a glittery PC that you can't do much with. Just FYI, I also own a DS, Wii, and PS3. But if someone made me pick one, I'm keeping my gaming computer. 2 of those 3 were gifts, and the other is because I wanted a cheap blu-ray player.
