[xshadowscreamx]

im waiting till E3, im sure microsoft is saving the best for last. still i will be waiting for a price drop eventually. and im curious if there will be another RROD episode again... i still have plenty of games to play on 360/ps3. so no Russian.

Upon watching the PS4 reveal I was completely underwhelmed. The only news that really interested me was that it was supposedly easy for developers to work with and that it allowed self publishing. I thought to my self, 'Well, unless they do something that my computer can't do, I'm not getting one.'

XBONE decided to take it a step father. From this abomination; I almost hate Microsoft completely. If this is the trash they're doing with their consoles then I can only imagine what terrible plans they have for the next windows. Honestly, unless PS4 does something good I might either switch to apple (from fears of MS BS) or be off consoles and computers.

Seeing as I didn't get my current console, an Xbox 360, until the price went down to $300, there's no flippin' way a $300 PC, a laptop especially, would ever perform as well as a game-centered console (which the Xbone, unfortunately, isn't). Yes, computers can easily outperform a console, but not in the same price range. And as a husband and father with a severely limited entertainment budget, a console is the best way to go aside from a few older games that will run on my under-powered $400 2-year-old desktop.

I find this post interesting. My laptop cost me around $340 or so. It can run everything I've put on it so far, doesn't matter what it is. I may not be able to run them on super high graphics, but every game I own runs very well on my cheap laptop. If you want to know what those games are http://steamcommunity.com/id/FoxPrower/games?tab=all take a look.

Don't need the consoles if my laptop can run the pc version of those games.

It's a matter of longevity, mostly. After a video card upgrade, my PC can now run somewhat recent games at 720p on medium settings for the most part (e.g., Saints Row 3, SWTOR, Bioshock 2), but in a couple of years, it won't be able to run the newest games as well because they're constantly bumping up quality and processing requirements. With a console, you know that for as long as they develop games for it, those games will run on that machine because they were made for that particular setup. Sure, it may not be able to match the quality of the same game running on a high-end PC, but you get what you pay for. With my budget, I'll trade the convenience of not having to constantly upgrade for a little less pretty.

My first laptop lasted me for 6 years before I found games it could not run. That's about the average span of a console anyway. For less than the price of most consoles nowdays I got my current one and can run everything as I said in my previous post.

I didn't choose to go into pc gaming, but I'm glad it happened. I can do so much more while paying so much less.

I already own a PC, I don't need a pervert in my living room disguised as a console when I know it's plotting to rape my computer at night while I sleep after long days of not playing it, ever.

This is basically my entire opinion on the One.
