With the imminent launch of a new wave of next generation consoles, and a current generation of PS3 and Xboxes with life still in them, gamers are perhaps forgetting the constant champion - the PC. For decades games fans have debated the console wars, Nintendo vs Sega, Playstation or N64, Xbox or PS3. But one gaming machine has always reigned through the various eras, untouchable in its ability to adapt and outmatch. PC gaming vs console gaming is a serious subject for the passionate fans who swear by the PC. Lets take a look at just why PC gaming endures and always wins against the consoles...
10. Hardcore Fans
The PC gamer is a cultured and dedicated gamer, who respects the tech and sees past the glamour of console tack. Their 'gaming rig' is their passion, and adapting their machine or picking up new tech for it is part of the enjoyment. These hardcore fans are willing to splash the cash on making their machines the best, meaning that the producers can in turn offer the best standard of gaming for the PC. Console fans in contrast show little of this passion. The console gets plugged in under the TV and is treated like a toy, compared to the PC audience who treat their machine more like a high performance car. The PC wins over consoles here because their fans really care and respect their hardware.
