Theres a reason consoles exist. Its because the pc cant quite play certain games the way a dedicated machine can.
When all we had was 2d games i.e duke nuke on the pc those sought of games we had the console equivalants that were better (mario!).
Then we had 3d on the pc and the same then (i refer only to certain games/genres i.e fighting games driving games etc)
And we have the same now in the second generation 3d games.
But we have a problem.
The x-box.
It effectively isnt a console its a pc thats more like a console. So its a step in the right direction for pc gaming but not for console gaming.
This is something i posted in another thread as part of a discussion on summit but i thought it was a good arguement so i gave it its on topic.
another thing is that i own a pc and one thing that strike me is the way many of the x-box games look like pc games to me and i havent had a console for a long time so....
maybe im used to the graphics in these x-box titles but not of the Cube which is why i have been impressed greater by the latter
Ravy, baby, im especially looking forward to your reply :)

There's a reason consoles exist. Cos a PC is designed to do stuff like Word Processing, Spreadsheets, all the kinds of stuff people use to do on type-writers, but more easily. People then took advantage of the power of the PC and made games for it. The a PC is a work and play machine.
Consoles exist because there was a market for a cheap dedicated games machine. PC's use to be, and still are for a decent one, VERY expensive. A games console is sold for a fraction of a price, and is built soley to satisfy a persons gaming needs!
That is why consoles exist!

You do know the PS2 is the only console to be made that doesnt use the same architecture as a PC.
I'd say the main difference between PC gaming and console gaming is the control method used to play the game. In the respect, the X-Box is exactly the same as any other console.
