I've made incremental upgrades for years, the price equals that of getting a new console every 5 years and the benefits are unquestionable. I use a 37" monitor, your argument is invalid.

My last gaming rig = $1400. (2005?) Add in about 5 years of upgrades, replacement parts, etc... + monitor, PSU, $100 Razer mouse, etc... = LOTS OF MONEY.

46" LED T.V. - $550
PS3 Slim - $300
Speakers + receiver - $300

Did I miss anything? Curious how your math just doesn't add up.

PC games are superior - GRAPHICALLY. That is all. Development dollars are less. Release dates are later. The fanbase/#of people you know playing one is smaller. Coding is often identical, especially when you buy one of those awesome games that could be 1000 times better on PC, only to find the PC release is nothing but a shitty CONSOLE PORT anyway.

So yeah, other than being able to run huge textures and mods for skyrim (which we're all enjoying mod-free right now anyway)name ONE OTHER GAME in the last year that is worth the purchase on PC vs. console.

I'll give you a hint: Betamax was better than VHS back in the day. It still failed because POPULARITY and COMPATIBILITY go a lot further than TECHNICAL SUPERIORITY.

PC might be a great platform, but until developers and gamers catch onto that, it's still the dead medium it has been for several years now. Just ask the revolving staff of editors and writers at PC Gamer magazine struggling to hold their jobs.
