The Console Versus PC Gaming Battle

In the world of gaming, some of us like to think that PC gamers rule the roost. Others, however, are die hard console gamers. Some walk the line and play both. So, o they have the staying power? Is one type destined to become obsolete?

First of all, in the world of console gaming, there are three main categories, these days, Xbox 360, Playstation 3 or Wii gamers. Granted, some play two types and some play all three. Personally, I am a Nintendo fiend, though.

In some ways, that competition actually works in the console gamers’ favor. Since there are three main console games, there are three very distinctive console game sets to choose from. Yet, those sets are ever changing.

For example, I loved Banjo Kazooie and Banjo Tooie on N64. Imagine my dismay when I discovered that the latest Banjo game is only out on Xbox 360! Suddenly, they aren’t Nintendo specific games anymore! So, now, if I want to play my favorite games, I have to buy a 360. Theoretically, once I do that, I will see other 360 games that I like and buy those. I’m probably not alone. That trend will probably cause a lot of you gamers out there to buy more than one system and, as a result, games for more than one system.

As each day progresses, we are getting further and further in a technologically advanced world. Every product is becoming better, more advanced and more convenient in hopes of making our lives a bit easier. One such piece of technology that is manufactured solely for our entertainment is gaming consoles. Gaming consoles are basically machines that allow you to play your favorite, compatible video games. They have been around for a few decades now, with earlier versions being the Atari and Nintendo. Luckily though, gaming consoles have came a long way since then and can now offer so much more than its previous counterparts.

Let us first take a look at the popular gaming consoles we have today, such as the PlayStation 3, the Xbox 360 and the Nintendo Wii. Those three gaming consoles are probably the most popular among consumers, but they are not the only ones. Those gaming consoles are accompanied by other much smaller consoles such as the PlayStation Portable or PSP and the Nintendo DS; both of which are handheld. The PlayStation 3 and the Xbox 360 are pretty obvious contenders for the most popular among teenagers, but the Nintendo Wii is fighting its own battle by being popular among teenagers and older generations as well.  Read more...

By reading this article, I hope that you will better understand each console and be better informed to choose the one best suited to you. I will talk first about the PlayStation 3 from Sony.

PlayStation 3

The PlayStation 3 is often talked about as the most serious games console. Games are perhaps more narrowly targeted to young males than those available for the Wii for example.

The PS3 is the only console with a BluRay disc drive. This ability is a big selling point for many as it means that the console can be used in the living room as a full entertainment system.

PS3 owners can use the online store to search for games and movies and directly download them over an internet connection to the consoles hard drive. Among the available titles are many games from the PS2, and the old favourites from that system are very popular. A final point to mention is that of the three main consoles, the PS3 is generally the most expensive.
