Which is more popular (overall:- among all generations and ages): :cool2:

Console eg:- PS3, Xbox 360 :@

PC :tongue:

:)
 
OMG this has been discussed a million time before !!

anyways me personally loves PC gaming.as well as PS3 (friend's place)..but the thing is normally no parents would never let a child spend 25k+30-40k(LCD) for gaming. :P

so i guess majority of the crowd is still hooked to PC gaming ..just my guess.

might be wrong ..looking at change in trends .:P

i dunno what the fack can overcome a console known as PS2. BEST CONSOLE EVER. PERIOD.
 
^^ Exactly my views... PS2 rocks.. good, plenty of features to keep one occupied, and most importantly.. damn cheap.. especially a 2nd hand one.. :P
 
more popular = PC

Its kind of a funnel. Almost everybody starts with PC. Some like games so much that they upgrade to cheap console like PS2 or old sega/8-bit ones.

then some fanatics upgrade to higher power consoles like ps3/xbox 360
 
Another Console War thread.. (I Bet this would lead to no where in the end)

Anyway , as someone above said XBox 360 because the price factor comes in.

See it basically depends on the person who wants to use it , if a person is tech-conscious and is aware about the power of the PS3 he would definitely prefer the PS3 over XBox 360.

PC isn't much of an option here as now a days each and every household has a PC. But there is always an option to upgrade your PC if you wanna game only on your PC.

Everyone may have different opinion over here.

If you are price conscious you would definitely go for the Xbox 360 or maybe the Nintendo Wii.

If you are tech conscious you would surely go for the Playstation 3.

And it's been proved , Playstation 3 > Xbox 360 after so many format wars and etc etc , although yeah i will have to agree that there are less than a few gaming titles that have completely or even half utilized/exploited the total power of the PS3.

So at the moment the Xbox 360 would be a good buy but incase if you are willing to spend a bit more for a gem of a machine then you would definitely love the PS3. :)

PC ROCKS!!!!

Few Reasons in favour of PC Gaming



Mouse and keyboard support

Well, duh. Console kids who have grown up with a controller in hand might argue, but there's still no better way of playing just about any game in any genre – not just shooters – than the combination of keyboard and mouse. It just works, offering orders of magnitude more precision and speed than fiddly analogue sticks.

High screen resolutions

While Microsoft and Sony scream about 'true HD' in their games – but in many cases don't actually deliver it – the PC has been happily running games at 1080p and above for yonks. In fact, the near-HD default res of 1,280x1,024 is very 2001; even a medium rig can handle 1,600x1,200 or more these days.

Free mods

Were you a raw naif, you might be forgiven for thinking that LittleBigPlanet et al single-handedly invented the idea of (nnnggh) 'user generated content'. But guess what? PC gamers have been coding mods (modifications) such as add-ons, total conversions, unofficial levels and all manner of other gubbins for… well, pretty much forever. And then distributing it for free, for the sheer love of it.

Upgradeable hardware

With the aforementioned higher resolutions and textures, chances are a new PC game already looks better than its console counterpart right now. But even if you can't run it with all the visuals tweaked to the max, processor and graphic cards prices drop so quickly that it's hardly bank-breaking to refit your rig in a year or so, for better graphics and more speed.

Cheaper games

Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo's licensing and publishing costs inevitably drive up the cost of every single game released, and even pre-owned games tend to be far pricier than the PC equivalent.

You're not tied to one online service

Imagine not having to rely on a single, central server such as Xbox Live or PlayStation Network whenever you go online. Imagine not having to suffer downtimes, silly licensing agreements, or daft console-restricting DRM. Oh wait… that's the PC online, isn't it?

No extra dosh needed for playing online

Okay, this only applies to Xbox Live, but who's to say that Sony might not start charging for PSN as it keeps haemorrhaging money? And yes, Xboxers can use the free Silver service, but really – why would you?

Unlimited storage space

The Xbox 360 is limited to whatever can fit on a DVD (or, if you're unlucky, more than one). The PlayStation 3 has to struggle with turgid Blu-ray access and enforced installs. PC games, meanwhile, just sit happily on the potentially unlimited storage space of your hard drive. Easy.

Save game hacking

Like modders, PC gamers are rabidly enthusiastic about pulling apart save games and data files, fiddling therein, and finding ingenious ways to cheat or fix corrupted files. Try doing that with your Wii.



Unofficial fixes for older games



PC games such as Vampire: The Masquerade often get unofficial, free, support long after publishers have gone kaput and official support is abandoned, thanks to the tireless efforts of their fans. Bug fixes, enhancements, new hardware support – it's all there.

Abandonware



The geek term for 'old games which you can't buy any more'. There are a huge number of classic PC titles out there from years gone by, and many thousands are available to download, legally, for free.



No red ring of death



Well, you only get this on the Xbox, of course, but the last thing you want your gaming machine to do is to completely konk out. At least when a PC goes wrong, it really goes wrong. Like, with fire and everything (possibly).
