For the five week period that ended June 29th, Nintendo sold 235,990 Wii units while Sony moved 139,494 PS3 units. The Wii has held a dominant lead for seven consecutive months and this recent gap closing can and ... [ read the full article ]

What I don't understand is how threads like this one ABOUT THE PS3 CLOSING THE GAP ON THE WII always revert to an Xbox 360 vs PS3 discussion...keep it on topic please. Thank You.

I actually agree.. Whatever sooper-dooper pc you might have it surely can't compare to vegging out on the sofa with a few beers in front of a 52" plasma playing a good game on a console in 1080.
I would rather play a good game on my ps1 on the tv and sofa than sit hunched over a keyboard staring at a 17" monitor from 12 inches slowly going blind.
It's about enjoyment.. and enjoyment and pleasure are subjective emotions.

amen to that! this is exactly my point.. to enjoy a videogame. People always bring up their "extremely powerful" computer that beats any videogame console.. well it might beat it in power, but never in enjoyment as varnull said.. nothing beats a 52" plasma, playing on Live with your friends is the best. But as long as you enjoy playing videogames on any machine is fine I guess. I just get tired when people show off their super computers in a videogame console discussion.

Yeah.. because its impossible to hook up your computer to your 52" plasma TV.. Unfortunately, computer monitors aren't made any larger than 17" either.. it's also impossible to play computer games with a controller.. and if that's not bad enough, there's no such thing as a wireless keyboard or mouse, so you're clearly tethered to the machine. Expensive surround sound systems don't work with computers either. Also, it costs an arm and a leg to play online games on the computer. I'm also sure there aren't any free voice chat programs you can use either.. It probably can't play any kind of entertaining multimedia format, like CDs, DVDs, HD-DVDs, Blu-Ray, or any other kind of purely digital format that a console can or can't play. Clearly, the PC is incapable of doing anything a console can. Hell, don't even mention fun, you won't find that on PC either, because that titles a console exclusive.
Oh darn.. looks like the computers a dull featureless broken down no fun at all tethered to the desk kind of machine. Oh well.. what can you do?

sorry but this is really lame, we get ur point, all varnull said was that the console experience is a LOT better than the PC route. With a console, you don't have to buy any fancy hookups or any drivers, or update your console with the newest graphics card when a game comes out, or get the newest patch..and so forth. With a PC its a whole different experience and with that some people enjoy both worlds while some don't. So next time you want to be "sarcastic" think a little bit before you cut someone else's opinion/preference down.
