I lol'ed so very hard at this statement.
Here's a concept you may find revolutionary. To say a platform has better games, it actually has to have better games, of which no-one who says that ever seems to be able to produce beyond Starcraft II.
Well, the PS3 doesn't have Diablo II or the upcoming III. It doesn't have Starcraft or Starcraft II. It's version of Fallout and Oblivion are worse than the computer versions by default. Baldur's Gate I and II are on the PC. Any good western-style RPG is on the PC, and are very few and far between on the consoles. FPS games are all inherintly better on the PC, just due to superior controls.

I have yet to see a decent hack and slash Diablo-style on the console.
I have yet to see a decent RTS on any console.
I have yet to see modding for games done on a console.

I can safely say that the better games are on the PC overall. I do like many games on the PS3 however, and I do think it is a great system. I also think it's better than the XBox 360 because I have a good computer (all the good games that are on the XBox are done better on the computer), so I get the best of both worlds.

...you are kidding, right? You honestly are warped enough that you object to me calling you names when I was quoting the post in which you called me a fanboy?
Tsk, tsk I said that you have a fairly large Fanboy part of your brain, not calling you one outright, and the fact that you seem to need to use unnecessary curse words on this polite forum, but let's not debate semantics.
I get it. You're an idiot posing as a pseudo-intellectual. Amazing.
And your problem with me is?

I hope the PS3 gets bad enough to lose InFamous as an exclusive.

...Want...
Lose it to what? If the Ps3 goes, then that means inFAMOUS goes, as its the only console that can run it. Same with pretty much every Ps3 exclusive.
My 4 year old PC can run EVERY SINGLE ONE. But that said, downgrade the graphics a hair and the 360 can run it.
Yes, in the same way a pocket calculator can run Snow Leapord.

Wait, can't you play MGS4 on a PC if you have a blu-ray drive? At least, I recall being informed you could.
No, you can't. Just like you can't play S.T.A.L.K.E.R. on a Ps2.

I know I said I wouldn't post again but... The PS3 has 256MB of VRAM and 256MB of RAM. The average gaming PC has 3GB of RAM and 512MB of VRAM. This means that you could (if you had a PS3 emulator) run any PS3 game that exists and ever will exist. Also, the Cell processor (which would have been your logical counterargument) is roughly equivalent in UTILIZED (not potential, utilized) power to an AMD Athlon 4800+. Also (again), the Xbox 360 is pretty much equivalent (512MB shared memory between VRAM and RAM) to a ps3 in every aspect except the processor. This means that you could run a lot (most) ps3 games on a 360 if you cut down on the processor-heavy calculations (physics, volumetrics etc). And, FYI, you probably could play STALKER on a Ps2 if you cut down on the graphics and installed half the game onto a hard drive (like the Ps3 does with its games).

P.S.
Examples of good PC games include:
-Crysis (can't be run by ps3)
-Bioshock (ok, not exclusive but its on PC)
-The Orange Box (see above)
-Fallout 3 (not the cut down console version. the awesome, extremely moddable PC version which looks better in every way)
-Galactic Civilizations 2 (old, but good)
-Left 4 Dead
-Crysis Warhead
-Diablo 2
-Phun (sorta like LBP, but different, DL and try it)
-GTA4 (if you like the game, I personally do but many others don't)
-Sins of a Solar Empire
-AOE1-3
-AOE 1-3 Expansions
-COD4 (not exclusive, but good)
-Command and Conquer (all of them)
-S.T.A.L.K.E.R (both)
-UT (all of them)
-Red Alert 3
-Dead Space (if you like that kinda thing, I don't)
-Audiosurf
-GOW 1 (not really that bad actually)
-GMOD (is pretty awesome)
-SMOD (google it)
-Age of Mythology
-Dawn of War 1 and all its expansions
-any emulators

If you are wondering about the lack of exclusives, this is the reason. Most PC games get really good on PC and then get ported over to consoles. This rarely happens in the reverse order but has been known to occur (gta4 is a good example).

Also (I use that word to often, I need a synonym for it), If you post back a whole list of reasons why all these games suck, you have even less of a life than I though and will be made fun of by me and all my friends for a very long time ;)

It's not like you have the monopoly on plain silly comments.

When were you getting that gaming PC again?
I reconsidered and realised that with Blizzard in bed with Activision and no solid release date in the near future for Diablo 3, it wasn't worth it, as there is nothing a gaming PC can deliver that my Ps3 can't do better.

Well I have yet to see a decent hack and slash God of War-style on PC, and all imitators control worse on PC due to its inferior controls.

Do we really need to go down this route? The fact that the PC doesn't have inFAMOUS, Heavy Rain, LittleBigPlanet or Valkyria Chronicles indicates that a huge amount of some of the greatest games are not on the console.

And for the record, Pikmin was a great console RTS, the Ps3 has the SplitFish FragFX, and its games can be modded
My God... Did you just insinuate that Pikmin, which isn't on the ps3, is a good game? There may still be hope for you.

Instead I'm going to ignore your pointless list.

And you don't have God of War.

Let me make this perfectly clear -no. The developers, the people who actually make the game, who have been with it from day one, are the experts on the game. This is not only fact, it goes without saying, like all bachelors are unmarried. Seemingly all developers of Ps3 exclusives say that their games can't run on anything on the market other than the Ps3 (lets see, Media Molecule, thatgamecompany, Q, Sucker Punch, Guerilla, Naughty Dog, Kojima Productions, Quantic Dream, SCE Studios Santa Monica, Insomniac, and Sega have all said it). That means that anyone who says otherwise is an idiot.

But hey, just because the most learned people on the subject say that the earth revolves around the sun, that can't be true because it goes against your irrelevant facts and anecdotal evidence.
What?

Seriously, What? God of war is a mindless button masher, why are you using it as an example? And what is the "no" directed at? If its directed at the fact that all console games can be run on PC (with emulators) then you are quite wrong about that. A console is just a PC with an OS that is designed for gaming. IF it is directed at the Pikmin comment, then you really need to get a sense of humor. And how are my facts irrelevant if they apply to the conversation? And you just admitted that I have evidence that all my information is correct. How did the "mighty Indigo" miss that? Also, by your logic Crysis can absolutely not be run by any consoles (which is true) because the developers said it couldn't. This means you are admitting the PS3 is inferior to the PC. I look forward to your reply :)

Considering Diablo III is just as solid as Heavy Rain and God of War III, I would say that your arguements using those games as examples are groundless.

You're right, there is no God of War-esque game on the PC that does it justice. However, you still didn't counter my arguements, ergo there are greater games on the PC in many cases.
Do we really need to go down this route? The fact that the PC doesn't have inFAMOUS, Heavy Rain, LittleBigPlanet or Valkyria Chronicles indicates that a huge amount of some of the greatest games are not on the console.
Certainly, but I still have older games, upcoming games, as well as many great XBox games that you don't have access to. I already stated many greater games that already exist and are coming up that have no equal on the console, and you have yet to prove me wrong there.
And for the record, Pikmin was a great console RTS, the Ps3 has the SplitFish FragFX, and its games can be modded
I thought we were arguing the PS3? Pikmin is not on there, so it doesn't count, nor do I consider it better than a game that has become a country's national sport. As far as the custom controller that you have to buy to make FPS work on the console...uh it still doesn't mean anything for modding the game itself. The console does not allow that to the degree that PCs do with almost any game on it.

If you do not understand what modding means, go to the official forums for Oblivion and see the modding section. Or the modding section for Fallout 3. Or the many mods for Diablo II. Or the mods for Freelancer. How about Neverwinter Nights 1 and 2? Or Titan Quest? Dungeon Siege? Doom? Half-Life? There is nothing that compares on the console, let alone the PS3 in any way, shape or form. The closest you have is the LittleBigPlanet level creator. I'll counter with Spore, which has far more customization to it.

You still haven't countered my many arguements which show the PC to be a superior console to some than the PS3? Instead you spout rhetoric like a PS3 marketing adviser without stating any actual facts. Stop being a fanboy and start being a fan.

Do you have any understanding of the words irrelevant and anecdotal? Any at all? It means unsubstantiated and unverifified, and not in any way linked to the subject matter respectively. Look, Developer word is fact. you are an idiot. If Sucker Punch says that inFAMOUS only works on the Ps3, its only possible on the Ps3. End of story. No arguing, no "yeah, but". Nothing. It cannot be done on the PC, because the PC is designed differently to the Ps3. If you're going to use the word inferior, then it gets applied to the PC, because its producing as-good results but is cheaper.

God of War is more respected than a fair few of the games on your list, and the fact that you say its a button masher says you're a tool as well as being an idiot. It means you haven't played it on anything other than the pussy level. And even still, you listed it as a good PC game (well I'm pretty sure you did, unless you used God Of Wars acronymn to describe another game, but even you aren't that completely, totally and utterly stupid)
Developer word is not fact. If I had lived in the arctic forever and said there was no such thing as a desert because I have never seen one, that doesn't make it fact. Sucker Punch saying that, simply mean "it doesn't work on the PC because no one has made a port yet." The PS3 is nothing more than a simplified computer. They are the same thing, which means that games can be made to run on the PC, if they were made for the PS3. They simply need to program it differently behind the scenes. God of War is a button masher. It's just a well designed one, that can be played more methodically with combos. Much like a fighting game. As far as when he "used the God of War acronymn" He was referring to Gears of War, which is referred to by the same acronymn...

Considering that Diablo II is far more "respected" whatever the hell that means than God of War...I guess that eliminates that arguement.

Sure, sure. Whatever you say, I'll just go back to enjoying my Gaming PC and you can go back to playing mediocre console games. I will say I am impressed that you actually know what anecdotal and irrelevant mean(sort of, you kinda took them out of context a bit). My argument in the last post was based on your ignorance, but it was less than I expected. GOW stands for Gears Of War, by the way, and I played God of War on the hardest difficulty and it really wasn't all that much of a challenge. Fun, yes, but not really challenging. I hope you see by these last few lines that I am actually trying a different tactic for speaking with you, as my old one was not working. I am trying to use politeness to counter your abrasive and, quite one sided arguments against me. If you though I was trying to bash your $400 dollar investment, then you are a bit too sensitive about it. I was merely stating the facts about the systems and showing how their abilities were similar. And I do Admit, I would like MGS4 on PC, but I'm not going to lose any sleep over it. Personally, I don't really think INfamous will be that good. It looks a lot like Spider Man 2 to me and That game was ok, but it wasn't really stellar. Although, Sucker Punch made Sly Cooper, so I may be pleasantly surprised. I would adress your other points but I am really busy right now so I need to cut this short. Don't think you've won though, people like you can't win an argument through anything but perseverance because their actual argument is not well thought out.

Cheers, :)

so, as i developed a small flash game and i say it can't run on ps3, as developer, my word is fact and the ps3 must be inferior to pc as any pc can run it...

edit myself:
did you just say that as PC gets the same results for cheaper, its inferior...
i'd of thought that would make PC superior...

Here's a funny thing about developer word: I've seen so many developers claiming that something is impossible that it's hard to believe when they throw that anymore. Can't do anything resembling Mario on a PC circa 1989? Then Commander Keen happened. Can't run AA on ATI cards on the HL2 engine? Well, this was supposedly a hardware problem but they fixed it and it was never mentioned again. Can't run Gears of War 2 on a PS3? The engine already exists, there's really no reason why they shouldn't be able to port the assets. Devil May Cry 4 and FFXIII were impossible on anything but the PS3 before the console had been released.

That's the reason why whenever someone says something is impossible, they either aren't trying very hard and are probably paid to say so. Folks are finding new tricks from 20-year-old hardware. Why are we supposed to believe that doing something on recently released hardware is impossible? Seriously, check some of the earlier stuff on the C64 and then check what the demoscene is doing with it. Night and day.

As for the whole God of War esque game argument, DMC3 and DMC4 run on the PC. DMC4 I admit isn't that good but DMC3 I found a much better game than God of War and its sequel. And the whole control argument is pretty moot considering you can connect just about any controller to the PC and play games with that.

And as much as it might surprise Indigo, Blizzard isn't the only company that does PC games. Introversion, Valve, Firaxis, Relic and Gas Powered Games are examples of game developers that do highly regarded games primarily on the PC.

Wow. Really you guys.... Just wow.

First of all those thinking their system is better. Shut up. Please, just shut up. The PC is not better, the PS3 is not better and neither are the Wii or 360. It's all personnal opinion. If you can't understand this small thing then you fit into the fanboy category.

Secondly. To those who think you can run any PS3 games on your PC with an emulator I say: Go ahead and try that. Then be amazed by how CRAPPY your performances will be. Even with the latest hardware for PCs you won't come anywhere close to the performances you'd get using a PS3 because, guess what, emulators aren't perfect and most of them are actually CRAP. Those games were not designed with PCs in mind and even a very good emulator won't get you anywhere near the same level of performance. You can come here and go "Oh yeah! Well my PC could do it" while posting your spec and stroking your e-pen but unless you post a video showing your leet performance while playing, say, MGS4, you're just full of shit.
