Gaming on Consoles and Computers

A major source of Internet Back draft, the PC vs. Console wars pit fans of both platforms in battles of nerd rage on forums all over the internet’s. As with Console Wars, fans of both platforms will argue on which is better for gaming?

  • PC gamers usually cite the computer's mudding abilities, keyboard/mouse control along with the ability to use every control scheme you can think of note , cheaper games, better graphical capabilities, openness to indie games, free online play, and sheer practicality: ever since the late '90s, the PC has turned from an optional luxury to a necessity for modern life. Usually, it is also cheaper to build a very powerful gaming PC (especially if the more basic PC you have for homework or job-hunting anyway is a desktop model), although pre-built PCs are another story.
  • Console gamers cite ease of use, the "plug in and play" nature of consoles, larger communities, simple (and sometimes unusual) control schemes with the controller, game stability, uniform hardware eliminating concern over technical specs, and easier local multiplayer, especially split screen. They may also cite the ability to resell/buy used games, though that is itself a very controversial issue; let's not get into the Internet Back draft on that subject in this page.
