An xbox is strickly games. PC is a lot more.

and btw. PC... 2.66 GHZ, Geforce 4 GFX card, Sound Blaster Audigy X sound card. 19inch monintor and more. Under 1000, thats mine.


And not reached main stream? you go online on xbox, you'll find 10 times as many players per game playin online for PC. Much of the time, people are just now getting these online games for consoles. like EA sports games for example. They been online for years on PC, and a WHOLE lot more people playing them.


another reason for how many people play online games on PC, you DONT need a top of the line computer to do it. Almost every game you can play on a crappy computer. PC games have options to turn down stuff that eats up CPU so they can be played. and i know your going to say you dont want to play games with dumbed down graphics. and i like wise feel that way (then again i dont need to dumb down anything) But some players online actually dumb them down on purpose to get an advantage. theres ways in certain games that turning graphics on totally ugly make it easier to do some thigns.

And its not about how many people play.... Theres so much more can be done online that isnt there on consoles yet. People still play the old games like the original Quake online. because theres still new modes and downloads and levels and things being made for them to play. i mean they literately never end.

being able to make your own servers for the games and all that stuff.... i mean even the Pay to Play online games. Ultima Online, or Ever Quest. soon games like FFXI.. you can play them for free by getting let into someones private server where everyone there plays the game without the online costs for it.

Consoles just arent there yet.

As far as im concerned, AS OF NOW, console online gameing is just a mulitplayer mode where your oponent is in another home. (and insome cases pay extra fee's just to play them.) not true online gameing.
