console gaming is the main cause as to why most games for any platform are released in stuffty quality. ports...

i can already tell you that the ps4 and xbox3 will have stufftier graphics then pc games as of NOW.
and ports from these to the pc will suffer for it...

thank you, you forgets who give money to console gaming. you are keeping the industry from higher standards.

we should be at much higher then the horsestuff 1080p. but the huge console gaming industry i will blame for this setback..
i mean they wont release better tvs for bluray that isnt going to improve upon their standard for at least another 6 years.
and they wont improve it for sports watchers, as the "new" stuffty high standard of "hi-def" tv is already new and wont be upped for at least another 6 years.

so who else would pump the demand? console gamers... but those broke kids are happy with a horsestuff 1080p. and why would they release better computer monitors or video cards otherwise?

and how often do you have to repair a console? Very rarely. Now upgrading, that's a hole other story. I just recently paid about $350 on a CPU, motherboard, and RAM. That's the same price as the Wii U. In addition to that, about every other year, I end up buying a new GPU ($200). I could probably get a second hand Xbox for that much.

I have spent less money on repairs for my computers than my consoles just because I can easily get inside my computer and Google is wonderful for learning how to deal with problems (which also makes the point that PC's are a little more idiot proof). When a console goes wack, and I mean seriously wack, I don't even try to find a place that will fix it, I just throw it out (or if it's a classic I chuck it in a closet). Just think about when a new console is released, like the Xbox 360 1st gen; the red ring of death? Yeah...

I also hadn't upgraded my previous computer at all before buying a new one, which was 3 years and I could have gone longer and was still able to play decent games. You must be wasting your money on bad gpus to have to buy a new one every other year.

Also with your comment about the Wii-U, think about what kind of product you are getting. It's either some solid computer components that allow you to do games and a WHOLE LOT MORE, or go with just games (and maybe some social apps idk)
