My PS3 cost me €600 at launch and hasn't needed one single upgrade. New GPUs are out every few months and CPUs update with just as much haste. Windows 7 has made a giant leap in that regard too.Įither way, the ultimate argument is that PC gaming is more difficult to get to grips with. I use Macs for the most part and they're great for being easy and quick. Wireless video will be huge, but already the trend seems to be to have your console plugged into the TV via HDMI and use the PC in the corner as a media hub with a large hard drive.Īs for PCs being as easy to boot up and use, they are. I can see PCs becoming as easy as consoles to boot up. I can see wireless video transmission taking off, meaning that your PC in the bedroom can be accessed through your living room TV easily, when you want to play on a big screen with your friends around.Īlso, computer manufacturers are really working hard on making PCs which boot up into what you want to do quickly. Maybe an upgraded iPhone is the answer with something that slim but still quite big in length and bredth. Like no-one wants to make calls with a PSP-sized item but people don't want to watch TV on a small mobile TV. I also see phone/mp3/video integration but there's a trade-off for size of the item. Plus I can't stand using a keyboard and mouse for gaming (which is remedied by getting a controller LOL) I agree that it's not hard to install/play games on PCs but with all the tweaks and patches etc etc most people will just say **** that and get a console. I find PCs very pernickety and less accessible than a console.īut I agree that the medium of gaming and TV/movies will become melded together (I can imagine buying internet TV packages for use on your TV - meaning you can subscribe to eg America's live ESPN channel while being in Ireland -alot of german channels are free on the net if you're in germany now) but PC's won't kick out consoles because consoles are easier to use. With consoles, you stick in the cartridge (or disc, nowdays lol) and you're ready to rock. I thought consoles were only invented because PCs require you to "do lots of stuff" before you can play the game. ![]()
