[@Bishop] Nothing beats the feeling of joy sitting down with the most recent console to play what one considers to be their new favorite game that they got the physical copy of. I do suppose it might come down to how you were raised; I grew up with consoles and prefer to play them any day. It just FEELS right. Can you explain the appeal of playing on a computer over consoles? jk, no need. I play games on all consoles, including PC. There are exclusive games that could not be played if you don't own the newest console for it, so there's that detail too. Many of my favorite games would be unavailable to me if I kept to the PC, only. Playing an RPG or a platformer on a PC... just feels unnatural to me. The same way, FPS-es and real-time strategy games belong on the PC to me. They CAN be on consoles, but it feels less natural.

It's not a matter of having the greatest tech to me (though yeah, the sheer joy of opening the box to the newest console is unparalleled), it's a matter of playing the games I want to play and play them the way I want to play them. And I want to have a machine sitting by my giant TV while I sit back in the sofa across the room with a controller in hand and a giant smile on my lips, and other people in the building perhaps coming by to have a look and, who knows? Perhaps grab a controller and join the fun on the same machine without needing an extra PC of their own! We can all group together in front of the TV and play on the same console with a multitude of controllers! Ain't that just the greatest?

Granted, we probably COULD set up a PC to do the same, but... We wouldn't be able to do it in front of Super Smash Bros, Mario Party, or whatever other exclusive and hilarious games. Haha. ... Then again, we probably could with the right set-up and illegal ports, but EH! I mean legitimately! The authentic experience!

I do understand your appeal of PC. I wouldn't want to play Overwatch or Age of Empires on console even if I could (oh, yeah, I can on the former, oh well). But to me, I just plain prefer my PC to be for other things than gaming and have the consoles be my bundles of joy that I go to only to be entertained. And for the exclusive games. That's my appeal of consoles. And that's about it. Heh.

[sub][sub]Edit: Now, I don't actually have a giant TV, nor a particularly large room to be across as I play on my normal-sized TV, nor actually anyone else in my [s]building[/s]apartment who might come by while I'm playing... But it was a matter of painting a picture! Okay!? XD[/sub][/sub]
