PC FPS gamers more skilled then 360 ones

Developers find new ways to use the hardware for better graphics, framerate, etc.  They don't force people to buy a new Xbox every year.

Yeah so instead of having great hardware that performs well with the newest games, you can have a console with 6 year old hardware that causes the games to suffer.

Oops double post.

30 > 23

Marcem was right.

Where did you get 23 million, I believe Xbox Live had more. Plus that's on February 5th.

Trust me, I can afford it just fine.  There is just no reason for me to spend so much extra money.

You don't even have to spend that much... Wow.

Yeah if you count stuffty indie games.

I hope you weren't implying that every indie game is stuff.

And no one is forcing anyone to buy a new PC every year, unless you want to run on maximum settings for every new game while running endless stuff programs under it.

because 7 million people buy xbox's within 9 months

Read the loving post.

On February 5, 2010, Marc Whitten announced that Xbox Live had reached 23 million members.

Where did you get the info. Steam has more people, but that doesn't really prove much. I don't see why you guys argue so much about something as stupid as this.

but that doesn't really prove much.

It proves that PC gaming isn't dying.

I will only keep my PS3 for console exclusives.

Xbox live and PSN are WAY overrated anyways. Steam is a much better and efficient service in terms of Price, Quality products, General Community, customer service, etc.

For a new comp?

No just many are.

If you want to play the new CoD you will need a new comp ever 3 years or so.

I would prefer an ok game than spend a thousand dollars every few years.

I'm not saying it's dying or anything, but I seriously don't know a lot of people who play PC over console, other than games like Starcraft and Minecraft. Even go to a mall or something, and lets say we ask people what system they play mw2 on or something. Most would probably say console I actually might do that.

Or buy a good PC that you won't need to constantly upgrade?

A new graphics card doesn't cost a thousand dollars.

And most people forget to notice that you use your computer for more than just games. You can either buy a console for games and a PC for what you need a PC for, or buy a PC for all of it. Your choice.

A good PC is a little over 1 thousand.

A new graphics card doesn't cost a thousand dollars.

Even so, a graphics card is what, $150?  $200?

Edit:  I can't debate right now, I really need to study.  Maybe later.

If you are a smart computer shopper, you would buy a comp with a good sized case, and a good mother board/Quad Core processor, you can just upgrade the GPU/RAM for much less than buying a new computer. GPU's are usually the most constantly updated/outdated piece of Hardware.

For a new comp?

Right. One that meets minimum specifications might even match 360 graphics and run at faster than human eye framerate.

No just many are.

I've enjoyed every indie game I've played so far. Let's not forget that indie games aren't PC exclusive.

If you want to play the new CoD you will need a new comp ever 3 years or so.

3 years is more than enough for a smart person to save way more than he needs for a decent PC.

Rave is saying it's dying. We're defending against it. You suddenly jump in and assume that we're saying Xbox is dying, and that he's defending that. You really have all of this backwards.
