Normal gamers don't care enough. Only hardcore gamers.

Fair enough your PC is better, but for people who just want to chill out after work for half an hour (or more sometimes) on xbox live (or splitscreen if you have friends) consoles are the only real option.

Normal gamers like good graphics but won't pursue them in a monetary sense until a new console or game is released because it's not their hobby or interest... it's a nice commodity.

You can't compare PC and Console gaming, they're totally different markets. PC gaming is for those who get very into it and are will to spend £1,000's on a rig. Console gamers jsut want something they can plug in their telly, turn on and enjoy.

I used to be a PC gamer back in the 90's but it cost so much on keeping it all up to date I gave up and swaitched to consoles as I don't play for hours every day.

PC's have better graphics for sure, don't know aboutonline play as I've not had one in years, but the costs over console gaming are huge even if the games are cheaper. Plus I don't have room for a PC in the flat.

Nick,

That is partially true, however your are slightly wrong on the cost. Hardware is constantly being updated as we all know. This means the old models gets reduced in price alot. However, the hardware being produced is always 100 steps ahead of the software and graphics engines being made.

This means that all that old hardware being sold cheap, as it is the older models can run the games at max settings easily. The new models are just there for the ethingy effect tbh.

For a gaming rig to play all at 100% graphics wont cost anything near £1000, more around the £350 - £500 mark, self built of course.

Not only have you got a gaming rig, you also have a general computer, eliminating the need to buy a computer/laptop to browse the web do work etc... So in the long run it is cheaper then having a console as it is a more efficient machine.

I don't have anywhere for a PC though, all the household computers are laptops.

I totally get why PC gaming can be better but it isn't cheaper for me it's much more expensive, I don't have the space and I like playing online and I don't know any PC gamers anymore. All my mates play consoles for pretty much the same reasons as me, space, cost and ease of use.
