This is a great answer, and that's how it is for a lot of people. It's always smart to have some separation between work and play, even if that just means gaming only on a console.

So true. No doubt most Americans are obese these days.

Haha same here. I love not having to worry about parts or anything else really. Consoles just have everything tied up in a neat little package and you can just sit down and press buttons to navigate.

You calling me fat? I don't have a game console though, so I guess not.

There are many reasons to choose a console over a pc, and I have both. Consoles have exclusives and the ability to use controllers. I know you can use a controller on pc too but some of the special functions are just for console, especially next gen. Friends is another reason to choose a console over pc, you don't want to get a pc and have nobody to play with. The last reason is space, a console takes up significantly less space than a pc so you can put it in more places.

Exactly. Besides, it's not like I'm gaming on only one console. I still have choices and I appreciate that I can still choose one that's to my liking. It's not just "You have to choose console or PC or don't play video games at all." You have a variety of choices within those choices.
I do way more important things on my PC than gaming, if I could get a super size PC just for gaming that would be nice, but that would probably cost way to much. Gaming on my personal PC would be putting my ram into overdrive, not worth it.

Although there are some benefits that console have over PC, I am all for the PC master race because of its
1) Customization options
2) FREE and expansive multiplayer (64 v 64 Battlefield 4)
3) Superior graphics
I never got used to the consoles' controllers, but I guess you can say the same about getting used to the keyboard. Because I pretty much only play Battlefield 4, League of Legends on the PC, graphics is pretty important and I can effortlessly play these games and get the full experience out of it.

The Wii is good every once in a while whenever you get tired of all the other games but as a main staple I don't find it too compelling. That's just my opinion though since I never was a fan of cute games to begin with anyway but they are alright for me in short bursts.

To me I just think that it is a lot easier and cheaper to get a console but that is just me. Another thing is most of the time the games are released on the consoles first before they make it to the PC so to me it would be better to just get the console and make it easier on myself.

Same here. I have a Wii but it was only entertaining for me for a while. It's a great console for when you have friends around but when I'm alone and playing games I prefer to play some intense single player games.

I personally prefer console mainly because of the graphics. I mean, the graphics card in the console is pretty much set. All the games released will be optimized for THAT specific video card. But for PC, game developers constantly upgrade and upgrade, and you have to keep buying video cards just to keep up with the latest graphics. It's pretty costly if you think about it.

I'm much more comfortable with a controller as well. I play on mouse and keyboard from time to time and it's alright but I find it's only comfortable for me when it comes to certain genres while a controller is much easier for me for everything else.
I am a PC player and I have been ever since I got my first one, thirteen years ago, when I was only six years old. I immediately fell in love with it, and it quickly became a hobby of mine. Playing games and even collecting them. I love my PC, and PC gaming in general, because they can run games with much nicer graphics AND, most importantly, 60 or even higher frame-rates. Consoles can't do this, as far as I know, and especially the old gen consoles. They were stuck at 720p 30 fps, while I have been playing in 1080p for 6 years.
However, I do understand the charm of a console. I would buy a console only if I had a lot of spare money. Why would I buy it instead of upgrade my PC? Because I always kind of wanted to own a console, to play with friends from my couch. You can't do that with a PC. Other than that, everything is better on a PC.
