I don't see how you can put any of them but Nintendo on a pedestal....
Microsoft in house is a joke.
Sony has naughty dog that's it.
If a game is good and not under an in house publisher.....It will come to PC more often than not.

So? Naughty dog isn't the only developer on Sony that makes good games, not mentioning prior generations games if you have a backwards compatible PS3.
360 has some pretty good games as well, and although it may not be worth it for some people that doesn't mean it isn't worth it for others.
PC is great and all but sometimes people don't want to play on a PC.. I enjoy my consoles.. I love my PC and steam as well but I like them all..

What is the difference between playing games with a controller on a pc or with your xbox besides improved graphics?
PC obviously wins in all things hardware.....That's not up for debate.
The question is whether it's worth buying marginal hardware to play overpriced console games.

I enjoy new shiny toys...
Either way some people I know don't play on computer so whatever graphics card I put in my computer isn't going to make me able to play games with them.
I have a much better graphics card then the one you linked.. I use my PC all the time. I have at least 130 steam games.
I enjoy some of the exclusive titles for each of the consoles, not to mention as I stated earlier certain friends of mine don't play games on PC. Although some people may say well screw them and just keep your PC.. I not only enjoy consoles now and then, I also enjoy playing games with my friends.
As with anything in this world it comes down to pros and cons..
Sony/Nintendo/Xbox fanboys get pretty stupid sometimes.. But a PC fanboy is no better.
Some people enjoy games on all platforms.

The question is whether it's worth buying marginal hardware to play overpriced console games.
As stated in my previous message there are plenty of exclusive titles worth getting a console for if you have the money to spend.
I've actually been getting more into using my controller with games on steam, especially the sales going on. But that still doesn't change the fact that I enjoy consoles.
I also mentioned that certain friends of mine I can only play with on console.
Maybe if someone doesn't have the money to spend then I can certainly understand. If you don't care about the few exclusive titles and can't justify spending it, that makes sense as well.
For some people playing with some of their close friends on consoles and the exclusive titles, justify the cost.
I love my PC, and I love playing games on it but I'm not as close minded as some people looking at only a few of the things that consoles offer and blindly thinking the PC is all mighty in all aspects, when it's not.
If you're strapped for cash the PC is probably the best bet.. But some people don't have that problem.

People think they don't have that problem.......Until they do
Not saying you ever will. But if there is one thing that I have learned over the years is wasting cash on consumerism is generally doesn't pay off in the long run.

Definitely, I certainly feel the same way.
I'm honestly set for life with money (on paper). But things could possibly happen to mess with that, however if they do it really won't matter either way because there is nothing I can really do about it even if I didn't spend money on the things I do.
I have extenuating circumstances as opposed to other people who spend tons of money all the time.
However I've already decided to slow down a lot in that department. Aside from getting games on steam when they're on sale anyway.

Why would you parent think you're ungrateful?
I have a lot of family that play video games but I suppose not having brothers and sisters help with not having to fight them from laying off my shit. I guess I'm old enough that that wouldn't be an issue I'm sure.
I take care of my grandpa and my mom. As well as look out for other people in my family when they need it.
For the most part I'm pretty damn selfish.. But video games are one of the very few outlets that can help me partially deal with some of the issues I'm faced with. Of course I don't just play games all day and hope my issues go away although I wish it worked like that.. But they are very helpful.
I do plan on using some of the funding I have available to go to school but I have some things I have to take care of first as far as my health is concerned.. In the mean time I will be blowing shit up on one console or another for therapy.

Shit, I own a 360 at this point solely to play geometry wars retro evolved 2 You can't put a price on that game....
Loved some ps3 exclusives: mgs4, infamous.... little big planet... demon souls.. If I play 5 amazing games per console generation and that's it, I'm satisfied, regardless of the cost... crazy, perhaps, but meh, I enjoy them...

I loved the last of us on PS3.. There are plenty more I enjoyed but you can't put a price on someones experience, whether it be from a game or anything else for that matter.
The game costs whatever you pay be it 1$, 5$, 30$, 60$.. whatever.. But you can't put a price on it and say that's how much its worth to any person other than yourself. Somethings in life are priceless, games or whatever. Mainly because of the experience they bring.

I pre-ordered my PS4 on amazon, sent to my house two day mail.. woke up, went into my garage and grabbed it..
xbox one I really didn't plan on getting.. I got up around 10 am on Black Friday (slept 4 hours since staying up shopping at diff places online). Walked into gamestop around noon or so, asked if they had any xbox ones randomly, the employee said no they did not.. 10 seconds later the manager says, yeah we have a couple.. Because I have no impulse control, I bought it.. but whatever. I'm pretty sure I got all the spending out of my system, I hope anyway.
It's not the same as waiting in line for it on release day though.. That's an experience in its own right.. I just can't do that anymore.
