That is one of the main reasons why people buy consoles instead of computers. They are cheap and I love this fact. I am also thinking of buying a console.
Consoles are what they and only do one thing while with a computer you can do much more and anyway you probably need a computer anyway why not spend a little more money on it but as they say to each their own.
I still prefer playing games on a pc in relation to a console. The feel is different, while playing on a console seems more relaxing, playing on a pc is more serious gaming.
People buy computers anyway since they just use them for gaming, but they might buy a cheaper computer if they don't plan on playing on it.
I was fortunate enough to play it on console and on PC. I much prefer the pc version over the console version by a mile. As most said the console variety is just limited and locked in on various aspects. Why stay locked in when I can go with my pc and do much more.
I prefer the PC version over Console, mainly because the PC version is superior in all aspects and secondly because I only play on PC; I used to play on consoles in the past but decided to switch to PC entirely because of the freedom it gives me. Many people complain about having to use keyboard and mouse but don't realize you can still use your gamepad and play it like if you were playing it on your console.
That's true, but if you're looking for something to play games with then console isthe best options of course, you can also carry it anywhere you go while you really cannot do that with a PC unless it's a laptop.
That's fine, but playing this kind of game on Consoles is way more enjoyable andrealistic because of the controllers and the special features that the game comes out with unlike PC, it's really boring to play a bikes game with a keyboard, for real.
I think in terms of cost I'd say PC is better. It gets work done. And can be handy for multiple works. Not the case with the console. It's dedicated and higher cost.
I love playing games on pc. I've got MXGP 2 & 3 and I play them on my computer. Sadly, I haven't had the chance to play them on console.
