360 vs. PC?

[Rankenphile]

meh I think Nintendo killed its future when they named it "WII", think about it.

When you're girl friend comes over and says "whats that?", what are you ganna tell her? "oh thats my wii"....

Kids dads arn't ganna go into a store and say "hey, can I have a wii?"

When faced with a decision between buying their children a console that costs $500, $600 or $250, I can promise you you will hear many, many parents using the word "Wii".

An xbox360 is dropping price To (I HEAR) $200. Thats what I herd so far over the net, But other then that, There isn't much price difference between the xbox 360 and the WII.

As for now,

360 = $300
WII = $250

i'm gonna go with a pc.. i had a console in the old days of mario.. i used to play it and somthing with tanks in a maze.. boy, was that great.. did't have a computer tho :p now, i don't need games.. just my music, my big warm crt and bags of ideas to study.. sure, a game is nice once in a while, but i can't picture all my buddies in the dorm playing CS.. on consoles.. we don't have TVs.. not that we're not allowed to, but a PC is so much more useful... i would shell the money for a graphics card instead of buying a console.. sure, i'd like one, but i wouldn't use as much.. i would get tired of it..
also, i gotta respect nintendo.. "wii" is a stroke of genius.. in naming, i mean apparently, japanese people are crazy about it and it looks promisingly refreshing.. still, being a console, u could get bored eventually.. (pro gamers.. don't hit me )

I don't think parents will appreciate there kids screaming "wii, wii,wii!!!" all day. Not to mention, I betcha the'll name there Controllers to "NUR" next... (who gets that joke?)

*groan*

Seriously though, the very fact that this topic started as 360vs.PC and now we're all talking about the Nintendo simply proves that they know what they're doing. Maybe it's true, there's no such thing as bad publicity.

PC you can customize every aspect of it, doesnt chew up a tv screen which other members of the family may want to use. Can surf the net. Install own programs. You can't really compare and xbox 306 and a PC. They are two different things. Ones a console ones a PC.

Umm, I put this in the "Video Gaming" forum because I'm asking what you would rather have for gaming... so...

I'm not comparing every aspect of them, just the gaming part.

Probably the PC then. Cos when you've completed it, there's the mod scene. I know a lot of mods now work on the XboX too, in things like Oblivion, fer example-but they were made on a PC.

Ok .Maleficus. fair enough.

For gaming PC hands down mouse and keyboard are better plus you can mod games on the PC change in game functions and stuff soemthing I allways do when I finish a game.
