Console always. I don't bother with my PC anymore. I have an Xbox to play games, and that's what I use to play games. I'm not a hardcore gamer than needs the latest and greatest of everything though. I'm more casual which the console fits better. Plus I actually have friends on Xbox. I can think of 2 or 3 people that I know who play PC games.

If you want the best looking, PC. I'm a PC gamer and I enjoy it very much, but the only issue is that if you have friends over, you're not going to be able to game on a PC. That's where consoles are better in my opinion.

Well if you want a good console that be the Wii U that was just released

926

While the Wii U might be a good upgrade from the Wii, at the moment the game support is not there nor are the graphics that much better than the 360 and PS3.

Were the graphics of the 360 and PS3 good or great when those systems launched ( NO) so give it time but there is one game on the system that hasd some huge upgrades in the graphics deparment over the other systems and that is Trine 2 and that it has PC assets fully glory running on the system

http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-trine-2-face-off Trine 2 Face off Also keep in mind the Wii U is pushing 2 screens somthing the current systems could not nore canot do ( PSP/Vita Dont count they have GPU and CPU inside )

The Wii U version also deserves credit, of course. The game not only features many of the graphical upgrades found on the PC, but does so while delivering better image quality than the 360 and PS3 without compromising on the solid frame-rate. T

"Aside from some puzzling gamma issues, it's clear that Trine 2 on Wii U offers a decent number of graphical boosts over the existing console versions of the game."

But the Wii U does offer more then just gaming experience how about the whole social experience or soon the Nintendo TV service

While the Wii U will have plenty of gaming fun for the next 5 years or more the 360 and or PS3 will die down soon not like tommrow but soon enough

Console mostly. I do buy a couple on PC (BF3 and strategy games), but mostly console. I quite simply got fed-up of all the nonsense surrounding PC games. Crashes, endless patches, the patchers themselves, bugs, multiplayer that requires hours to get working, bugs, endless hardware upgrades, bugs, etc. At one point I was spending more time (and sometimes money) trying to get PC games to work properly than actually playing them. Add on to that that many games you were stuck with once you bought due to DRM/codes/whatever and the end result was my gaming experiences were quite narrow. A game had to appear truly amazing for me to take the risk and even then I was burned a few times.

Bought my PS3 and I've probably played 3 times as many games on it than I ever did on the PC. Plus I work at my computer all day anyway, so getting away from it to play games is quite a good idea.

Console. I still occasionally play games on the computer, but I was never really in to upgrading my system so the nonsense with system requirements got frustrating. There's nothing to worry about with the console though, I can buy any game for it and I know it will work.

It depends on the game and how the company behaves really, I'm getting GTA5 for my 360 since Rockstar treat the PC like the child they never wanted, while a company like Crytek or Valve support the PC pretty well, and the increased ability lets me push the games more.

    • Since they open sourced the calculator in Win 10/11 it is much better and can do a lot, I love it.
    • That's just silly imo. The lengths that man goes to just to avoid W11 is just nuts. Very, very few home users would do that. I will say this though, he is committed. Btw, I note on askwoody that Woody Leonhard passed away March, 2025 aged 73. His site was one of my favorites back in the day. Belated yes but RIP Woody.
    • Because of the EU (a good thing) newer android devices been getting 5 years worth of security patches. Except some Motorola which found the loop hole, and offer ZERO updates. In addition, Google for years have been making where it can patch some stuff by updating the core Google Play Store itself.  As echoed earlier,  you take the security risk in to your own hand beyond supported.
