I'm not knocking consoles at all....
Its all you non loving geeks that see more in this thread than need be...
BTW I'm the biggest Geek of all so anyone who thinks me calling them a geek is offensive can **** ***
I was just wondering why it was still acceptable for some to have shoddy GFX in their multimedia experiences. When they have other avenues?
Thats it really

I have an 'ok' pc that can handle most games at full settings but I still find that the consoles surprise me in terms of graphics, especially when you consider how old the hardware is now, both 360 and PS3 have games that I think you'd be silly to say that they look 'pap' just because they aren't being rendered at 1080p.
I love how maxed out PC games look but I honestly find myself having more fun on the console because I know I'm forced into accepting the graphics as they are and thus end up enjoying the game more without thinking about frame rates/settings etc.
Simple fact is more people care less about graphics than people do that do tbh, I respect graphics but gameplay for me is much more important which means owning and playing console is very important as the 360/PS3/Wii have hundreds/thousands of exclusive games that will never be available on the PC.
Also price is a key factor, most people these days already own a TV from quite a young age so all they or the parent has to purchase is a console, you can grab a 360 slim Arcade today for £139, that's it, that's all you need to get into gaming.
