this is why PC Gaming is the shiet compared to Console Gaming

all i ever wanted was able to play those "exclusive-only-to-xbox" games.
like gtaiv (now available to pc), the gta iv lost and the damned.
the final fantasy xiii, Halo, resident evil, nba live09, and others.

All with the comfort of keyboard and mouse.
In my super dooper computer, with mega overkill rams,
with grabeh expensive graphics cards.

That makes no difference when the majority of people who play games on the PC can't even match 360/PS3 graphics and resolutions.

Sometimes Its not all about gameplay. Else it would be similar fun experience like some child's toy.
Its a combination of your hardware setup and tweaking, cooling, software tweaking, BIOS and more that makes PC more fun, and it makes the PC more oriented to older and mature audiences compared to the console. Extreme graphics settings for the PC is much better compared to a console.

Consoles suffers from a lack of frame rates in some games due to lack of hardware juice.

But nobody can Deny that an high end gaming PC is way better than consoles. But if its a mid end PC then it might be comparable to a console.

Its like this
Consoles = Pure fun
PC = Pure fun plus evil grin factor from your hardware.

Just my 2 cents Peace.

MS and Sony are competing in the home entertainment market and I think whoever is going establish as the major player early on now will surely be the domiant force in the future and will have the lion's share.

Xbox live was not designed only as an online gaming but as digital media content delivery which is a much bigger market than pc/console gamers. MS plans to integrated xbox live into mobile phones, handhled devices in the future.

I don't see MS monopolizing this one since they just had a rough start when they lost the HD format to Sony's bluray. Digital media content will be a big thing in the future so MS got a lot of work to do in designing and improving xbox live if it wants to win over Sony in capturing our living rooms in the future. It's a lso going to be really tough on the mobile segment because although not the biggest share now but Apple is really doing some very exciting stuff in mobile phones.

some Xbox Live features:
