PC gaming is, on balance, better than console gaming. - Debate.org

Thank you for the response.

?Also, just because the game was made for consoles originally does not mean that the console itself is better. Since it can be emulated, this point is invalid.?

That is quite opinion based, if you contribute a system?s games to how good the system is, then you can make an argument that the N64 was superior because of its revolutionary games.

In fact my opponent did make this very same argument when he said earlier:

?The PC has a wide choice of games, as many games are multi-platform releases. With that, the PC also has many exclusive games such as MMO's like World of Warcraft, Tera Online, Eve Online, and Guild Wars 2. MOBA games are also fairly exclusive to PC's, such as League of Legends and DOTA 2. Also, many small indie titles are PC exclusive. ?

My opponent makes the point that small indie titles made for the PC are exclusive, and why else would have put that on the debate if he hadn?t meant that the PC was better because of the games it produces. My point was not that the OOT was better on the N64, just that the N64 (a console) has produced better games then the PC does. Playing a N64 game on an emulator is great, but you surely can?t make the case that this makes the PC better. Without the console, that game never would have existed.

?You could use an HDMI cable and a wired 360 controller to play PC games on a TV.?

Yes, you could. But a big factor in this debate is how the console entertains better then the PC, and convenience is a big factor of entertainment. While there are people who can set that up easily with an HDMI, there are more people who couldn?t figure it out. It?s sad, but true, consoles are more people friendly.

?Again, you can plug in any number of peripherals that you want on a PC.?

Again, which is more convenient, going to the trouble to figure out how to hook that stuff up, or just buying a console and sticking the cords into their designated slots? It?s so much easier.

"The power of a 400 dollar machine can't possibly match that of a 2000 dollar gaming rig. Sure, they'll help close the gap, but they won't be able to surpass PC's. Also, since PC's are constantly updated, the gap will have a lot of time to widen. After all, look at the current console generation: it's been going on for about eight years!?

This is when we ask ourselves a question. Do we want a $400 dollar piece of equipment that is very affordable, easy to use, and arguably just as fun. Or a $2,000 dollar piece of equipment that has slightly better graphics, is more complicated, and has a history of more technical problems than a console?"

"The question here is is the greater control you have over a PC worth the trouble that can bring? I say yes. Also, consoles can be afflicted by any number of problems. For example, two of my XBox 360's got an error related to overheating and died.?

X-Box?s are known for overheating, but as time went on, Microsoft came out with the touch sensor x-box?s that are much more cooperative, and hardly ever overheat. Whereas a PC may be advanced, but as soon as you push it to its limits they are prone to overheating, crashing, etc.

?PC's have family friendly games as well. I concede your last point, as PC's do not in fact have Wii Bowling.?

Exactly, PC?s aren?t advancing and developing new technologies that consoles are. With Wii motion plus, Kinect, and whatever you call it for PS3, the systems are finding new ways to entertain. You can even exercise with videogames. Higher graphics on the PC just aren?t anything special.
