But I think the most obvious link nowadays begins with the fact that computer screens and TVs are more and more...the same device, due to HD technologies etc My nerdy mind has always considered that PC and consoles are same things which would tend to become only one with years, because basically both are a machine with a processor (or several), some RAM and I/O signals… But I think the most obvious link nowadays begins with the fact that computer screens and TVs are more and more…the same device, due to HD technologies etc

Sure the tech of one may surpass another for a short amount of time, but the others will catch up. Eventually our electronics will stop advancing, as you could learn in any basic computer structure class we can only make the components faster and stronger up to a point until they start to become a burden on themselves, take for example RAM, most people go oh my PC is slow, must need more memory, not necessarily, having more ram then you need will slow you down, because its more memory you PC has to look through before it finds what its looking for. So I think your completely right, consoles and PC will eventually be almost the same.

When I look at my desk, my rig, I say to myself on a nearly subconscious level, full of pride: "I built that." I made sure that every piece was to my liking. I did the research that made sure that every piece worked together. I hand picked every component. Later, when I wanted another video card, I installed one. When I wanted to double my ram; I did. And when I said to myself that my compy could smoke any console that you put it next to; I wasn't lying. Okay, you can download games on a console. So can I. You can chat with your friends online, so can I. You can hook your console up to a 60 inch HD screen. So can I. You can put a skin on your console; I have a case the size of a mini-van sitting on my desk that when you turn off all the lights in my house - you can boot up my computer and see through the whole house. I have 2 portable drives and innumerable thumb drives, each with a separate persistent OS. If I don't like my proc, I put a i7 870 (4x 2.93) in there and watch my lights dim. ;) Mr. Gates think that people want a bigger hard drive: well, here's the 4 you can choose from. You want a controller? Would you like white or grey? And don't even get me started on controller vs. mouse and keyboard. Perhaps it's just an aesthetic thing for me. I don't want anything thats mine to be like what anyone has. This beast is of my creation, and it is mine to control. Asmo One thing I will disagree with you on, Nixie.

It's epic I honestly love all of them but pc's over-all wins since it can do most of the stuff i want easily. but there are differences between a console game and a pc game since a console game would be something like Gta 4 , prototype , dead rising , Crackdown 2 , Demons soul , assasins creed 2 . resident evil 4-5 , red dead redemption 2 While a pc game would be something like left 4 dead , oblivion , fallout 3 , crysis , bioshock . call of duty If you notice fps games work best with a pc game other then that the feels of playing a console game on a pc feels wrong horrible controls.. yes i am a gamer i love gaming but i got taste i've played it all i know it all. i used to hate pc gaming but when i tried it i love it i remember i used to hate the keyboard and i would try to use the arrows keys instead of using w a s d . playing a console game as on fps like call of duty would suck because the aiming doesn't feel good at all as on a pc it's way smoother and feels right . over-all getting to the point consoles get outdated quickly while pc's keep getting better ram hardware motherboards processors graphic card few months like 3 on average. they all have their pro's and con's i go for everything i would want.

but there are differences between a console game and a pc game since a console game would be something like Gta 4 , prototype , dead rising , Crackdown 2 , Demons soul , assasins creed 2 . resident evil 4-5 , red dead redemption 2
While a pc game would be something like left 4 dead , oblivion , fallout 3 , crysis , bioshock . call of duty
If you notice fps games work best with a pc game other then that the feels of playing a console game on a pc feels wrong horrible controls.. yes i am a gamer i love gaming but i got taste i’ve played it all i know it all. i used to hate pc gaming but when i tried it i love it i remember i used to hate the keyboard and i would try to use the arrows keys instead of using w a s d .
playing a console game as on fps like call of duty would suck because the aiming doesn’t feel good at all as on a pc it’s way smoother and feels right .
over-all getting to the point consoles get outdated quickly while pc’s keep getting better ram hardware motherboards processors graphic card few months like 3 on average.
they all have their pro’s and con’s i go for everything i would want.

The way I see it is that the Console companies (Sony, Microsoft, Nintendo) will create something every 2-4 years that matches current Tech/Hardware then by a couple of months PCs will have better hardware. Also in my experience Consoles normally are for the user friendly person, if PCs worked in the same way then Consoles will seize to exist, imo.... :D I have to say PC’s will always out-perform consoles for years to come.

AMD and Nvidia arent goin down any time soon from what I see, especially with AMD/ATI the recent success of the phenom II and the radeon 5000 series, they gained alot, nvidia even gained.
