I hope they can get along. Not a huge console fan myself, but they do have their advantages. Might get a PS3 a year or so after it come out if it it any good. the 360 is completely unimpressive to me, seems like a waste of money and nintendo is in some big trouble, IMO.

I voted for "I like the expandability of the PC, and who the hell can play FPS on a console?"

I do like upgrading my pc when it needs it, on my schedule. Not to mention you can resell your old parts for usually a decent amount of money and put that money towards your upgrade. With consoles, when the new generation is out, the last generation isn't worth squat. Essentially the chop shop factor is the good thing about the pc.

I also would have voted for "PC rules ! consoles are for kids." and "I think they can all live together in perfect harmony." Most people I know who own consoles are younger than I am. Also, I don't see the PC or consoles going anywhere in our lives. They will both be around for a long time. Consoles might die but there are always new ones to replace them.

But to be honest, I love consoles too thanks to their exclusivites too.

I think they'll wind up living together in harmony - someone in the house can be gaming while the other is posting at DH (while authoring a DVD and running a Serious Sam 2 server...) about the one playing games - ha ha!

PC all the way. I MUST have the control to be able to 'tweak' my game and consoles don't allow that. If I want to play with a 100 FOV and no music so be it. If I want to turn off some stupid 'feature' I can modify some file or .ini usually and customize my game play for me. Consoles.. you are stuck with what they think is best for you. How many times have you found a control scheme on a console so bad that the game becomes unplayable for you?.. never with the PC.

Let's add the extra content you can download and mod with PC games over console games and it's just not even fair. PC games come first and console second IMHO.

My vote: I think they can all live together in perfect harmony!

All my gaming were on console a few year ago,mainly due to not having a pc at the time..I certainly don't think gaming is for kids as a good majority of games is actually far more advanced in the more modern day games..and is a good stress release method.

But unfortunately at the same time i don't have any intention of getting hold of a xbox 360 or ps3...... im happy enough for the time being of pc games..but i don't see any reason not to have all three for most peaple who want to stay up on the future consoles also.

Voted "I like the expandability of the PC, and who the hell can play FPS on a console?"
Still, new consoles look really good and a console is a much cheaper gaming solution, so I just might have to learn. (to play FPS on a console)

Ok I admit it i'm sad I'll probably end up buying them all but in my defence I only have 4 PC's at home and not 5. No wait actually it's about time I finally started my PCI_E system. Aww hell. To be honest though i'll only buy the PS3 if the final fantasy games keep on coming out on playstation, hopefully with FF11 launching on the XBOX it bodes well for the future.
