I think that consoles have a lot of potential and they also have their market. I own both a PC and an Xbox and I couldn't say which one I like to game on more. I think both have their strengths and their weaknesses.

Just my $.02

i never said anything about the potential to run quality games or the price of either a PC or a console. i like to game on both a PC and a console. but the fact remains that PCs are just the dominant when it comes to power. unfortunately, they have to run windows and do other things besides games. if you were to take the most powerful PC on the market today and put a proprietary gaming OS on it, it would kick the tar outta any console. come to think of it, i guess it would sort of be a console then wouldn't it.
