When did playing games become about the machine instead of having fun?
Stop ruining gaming. :T

As soon as you get Legend of Zelda, Mario, Ratchet and Clank, Uncharted, Crackdown, and all the other console exclusives to run on PC legally, I'll stop playing on consoles.

Console exclusives, and multiplayer. On consoles, you buy one copy of a multiplayer game (Smash Bros, Halo, Portal, etc.) and everyone can play as long as they have a controller. On PC, I have to convince all of my family and friends to buy their own copy of the game so they can play with me. Steam sales help, but it's not always enough.

Only reason to play on a pc nowadays is if you play MMO's. consoles have way better game selection, and graphics aren't everything.

Doesn't the fact such a tiny little case can do GRAPHICS better than the PS360 and at an affordable price kind of debunk the whole "Wii U's size means it can't be a good console"?

As for TC's question: Exclusives, ease of use, Smash Brothers, fun, and so on.

It's about the games, not the machine I play it on. Mario. Zelda. Metroid and all other Nintendo made games. Duh!

Because I'm not a PC elitist.

C'mon, we have this all the time on CE, no need to spread your filthy germs on these boards.

Exclusives.

During get togethers we do local co-op as well.

The days of LAN parties have long since gone for me and my ilk.

Mario Kart and SSB are still played quite often.

Occasionally do some L4D, though looking into No More Room in Hell for anyone interested.

I'm slightly less an abrasive person over voice chat. I promise.

because console make a great dedicated gaming machine for your living room.

computers are for doing work, the last thing I want to do is spend more time in front of one.
