| There has always been an ongiong debate as to | | | | that the performance of your game is directly |
| which form of gaming consoles offer you the | | | | affected by the quality of your pc.By quality |
| best quality and performance.The main debate | | | | I mean amount of RAM,CPU,Hard Drive |
| being between the use of computers or | | | | size,video card and drivers.The higher your |
| colsoles such as Xbox 360,playstation | | | | PC specs are, the better the game can look |
| (1,2,3),nintendo wii and so forth.Now most | | | | and play.The major disadvantage here is that |
| gamers will go on and tell you that it is | | | | computers and gaming applications can be |
| more worthwile to use console systems than | | | | prone to viruses,corrupted or missing files |
| computers due to the apparent plug and play | | | | and general sluggishness due to cluttered |
| ease of use.But lets take a look below at the | | | | hard drives.The popular console systems like |
| advantages and disadvantages between computer | | | | playstation,xbox and nintendo take advantage |
| gaming and console gaming. | | | | here in that they have hardly any performance |
| | | | issues apart from the rare freeze (In my |
| 1. Installation of Game | | | | experience). |
| | | | |
| One major advantage of the sony,xbox and | | | | 4. Modifications |
| nintendo console systems is the fact that it | | | | |
| is all about plug and play.No need to worry | | | | The great thing about playing games on your |
| about having to wait 30 minutes to install a | | | | computer is that you can make modifications |
| 5 gigabyte game on a hardrive with the | | | | to your game via downloading of patches,add |
| possibility that there might be compatability | | | | ons or general updates which can possbibly |
| issues.This is where console systems have a | | | | fix and enhance the performance of your |
| major advangate over computer systems. | | | | game.With console systems however, once again |
| | | | you are stuck with what you have.This is |
| 2 Graphics quality | | | | probably no such a great factor because if |
| | | | you buy a particular game,any updated |
| This section is highly debatable.Many people | | | | available for computer will not change the |
| including myself will tell you that the | | | | game in such a big way. |
| graphics offered by computers for gaming can | | | | |
| be far superior to that of sony | | | | 5. Availability of Games |
| playstation,xbox and nintendo.This is | | | | |
| obviously due to the fact that pc graphics | | | | Lets face it, all of the games that are |
| cards like GeForce and ATI have large amounts | | | | available on PC are not all available on the |
| of video ram which allows games to have | | | | other console systems.This again is another |
| sharper images and run faster.And there is | | | | great advantage of computer systems. |
| always a continous entrance of new and | | | | |
| improved graphics cards to the mrket each | | | | So there are my five comparisions with the |
| year.With console systems,you have to make do | | | | advantages and disadvantages between the two |
| with what you are given.There is no | | | | types of gaming platforms.People will agree |
| possibility of upgrading.So the computer | | | | and some will disagree about those factors |
| probably wins this battle,but then again it | | | | and others not ,but at the end of the day you |
| is debatable. | | | | just have to choose the platform which |
| | | | appeals to you the most.Personally I like |
| 3.Performance of Games | | | | PC's because of the sharp graphics and wide |
| | | | availability of games,but like I said It's up |
| Now lets start with the computer.We all know | | | | to you. |
