| There has always been an ongiong debate | | | | is directly affected by the quality of |
| as to which form of gaming consoles | | | | your pc.By quality I mean amount of |
| offer you the best quality and | | | | RAM,CPU,Hard Drive size,video card and |
| performance.The main debate being | | | | drivers.The higher your PC specs are, |
| between the use of computers or colsoles | | | | the better the game can look and |
| such as Xbox 360,playstation | | | | play.The major disadvantage here is that |
| (1,2,3),nintendo wii and so forth.Now | | | | computers and gaming applications can be |
| most gamers will go on and tell you that | | | | prone to viruses,corrupted or missing |
| it is more worthwile to use console | | | | files and general sluggishness due to |
| systems than computers due to the | | | | cluttered hard drives.The popular |
| apparent plug and play ease of use.But | | | | console systems like playstation,xbox |
| lets take a look below at the advantages | | | | and nintendo take advantage here in that |
| and disadvantages between computer | | | | they have hardly any performance issues |
| gaming and console gaming. | | | | 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 | | | | The great thing about playing games on |
| that it is all about plug and play.No | | | | your computer is that you can make |
| need to worry about having to wait 30 | | | | modifications to your game via |
| minutes to install a 5 gigabyte game on | | | | downloading of patches,add ons or |
| a hardrive with the possibility that | | | | general updates which can possbibly fix |
| there might be compatability issues.This | | | | and enhance the performance of your |
| is where console systems have a major | | | | game.With console systems however, once |
| advangate over computer systems. | | | | again you are stuck with what you |
| 2 Graphics quality | | | | have.This is probably no such a great |
| This section is highly debatable.Many | | | | factor because if you buy a particular |
| people including myself will tell you | | | | game,any updated available for computer |
| that the graphics offered by computers | | | | will not change the game in such a big |

| of sony playstation,xbox and | | | | 5. Availability of Games |
| nintendo.This is obviously due to the | | | | Lets face it, all of the games that are |
| fact that pc graphics cards like GeForce | | | | available on PC are not all available on |
| and ATI have large amounts of video ram | | | | the other console systems.This again is |
| which allows games to have sharper | | | | another great advantage of computer |
| images and run faster.And there is | | | | systems. |
| always a continous entrance of new and | | | | So there are my five comparisions with |
| improved graphics cards to the mrket | | | | the advantages and disadvantages between |
| each year.With console systems,you have | | | | the two types of gaming platforms.People |
| to make do with what you are given.There | | | | will agree and some will disagree about |
| is no possibility of upgrading.So the | | | | those factors and others not ,but at the |
| computer probably wins this battle,but | | | | end of the day you just have to choose |
| then again it is debatable. | | | | the platform which appeals to you the |
| 3.Performance of Games | | | | most.Personally I like PC's because of |
