Why a PC is better than a game console for online gaming

Gaming consoles have taken over the gaming community. Companies such as Nintendo, Microsoft and Sony have changed the way we play video games. It used to be common to play computer games, sometimes against another person via the Internet.

Access to these games was only available through your computer, now there are several options available and on their way. Once consumers began using game consoles online to play, companies feared the downfall of computer gaming. It was not the case. There are some disadvantages of gaming consoles for online gaming compared to personal computers.

Game Options

There are some different brands of gaming consoles available right now. Microsoft has Xbox and most recently Xbox 360. Sony has PlayStation, PlayStation 2 and PlayStation 3 should be published in November 2006. Nintendo Game Cube. Although these are all good consoles the PC has tried to merge the two (games consoles and pc games). Sony has succeeded to merge them with its game Need for Speed, putting game console gamers against PC gamers in online games. This game became very successful. There are more advantages that inconvenience for gaming compared to PC games.

Disadvantages for game consoles

Some disadvantages of the console game are as follows:

All game components are sealed inside the unit. Should there be a problem you have to replace most or all of the unit, losing game data

Once a console becomes outdated you can not up grade without having to buy a new console.

A console is a marvel once, which means you can do only one thing on this game. Unlike the PC, it is useless for other game consoles. Some have the option to purchase additional hardware, which play DVD movies the only other option.

Benefits to PCs

There are real advantages to owning a PC to play your games. Here are a few:

The advantage most popular for PC gaming is the games! There is more variety and options for PC games than any other system.

Since the PC is a tool, games are easy to download and there are increasingly made available for free.

Computers are made to handle the pixels displayed on the monitor keeping crisp graphics and without damaging the screen. Televisions were not made to handle the pixels and thus be damaged after some time.

Computers have many options available to connect to the Internet, whereas consoles are limited.

Computers are versatile, allowing many improvements and additions. Consoles are limited to the current system available.

Until a game console can handle the same things as a PC there is simply no contest. PC will always rule in the game world!
