@catman

Uhh...no, that's not a fallacy.

More of an incorrect statement rather than an error in reasoning.

"pc has more games than every console combined"

Quantity is irrelevant. Best to have 10 excellent exclusives rather than 20 good exclusives.

"that's why you build your own idiot"

It isn't much cheaper to build a PC than to buy a console, and it's not like you're going to be playing games at a better quality level.

I've never met a console with ten excellent exclusives

Thing is you are if your going for the 500$ price range.
and if you get an APU you can crossfire it in the future if you so wish.

I've never met ANY platform with ten excellent exclusives. I was just making up an example.

The main advantage I would say that consoles have over PC is the ability, as I've heard this one Youtuber say, to 'code to the metal'. Meaning that you can really get into the knitty gritty of the platform and code specifically for the hardware.

With PC it is a bit more abstracted, though you are working with x86 architecture, you are having to abstract your code so it can run without relying on specialized functions that might not be present within certain components of the PC.

the consoles greatest strength is also it's greatest weakness. in a fast moving world of tech, having hardware lock in is becoming more and more unviable, especially when what you are locked into isnt particuarly strong.

exclusives,

PC has more exclusives. Also, pretty much every game that makes it to the consoles makes it to PC.

controllers,

Keyboards can text chat in-game and browse the internet much faster.

and cheaper prices
The PC may cost more for the system, but you save money on steam sales and bundles like humble bundle.

exclusives
EMULATORS
pc has way more, and better exclusives than any console IMO, except for R&C, thats a good exclusive.
CONTROLLERS
get a gamepad, or just use KBM which IMO is more comfortable and has a ton of keys for macros
cheaper prices
while you can't argue building a PC could be more expensive than a console if it has good specs, say a 600 series GTX or a good AMD card, with steam sales and sales every weekend on steam you are actually saving hundreds, and eventually thousands of dollars buying games with steam instead of buying them at gamestop

"Quantity is irrelevant. Best to have 10 excellent exclusives rather than 20 good exclusives."

that's subjective though since every gamer wants a different experience, and it's hard to compare the average quality of every game on a platform
although i will say that pc games tend to be "better" since many of them come from independent devs rather than money-grubbing AAA publishers

the only problem with pc exclusives is that they are comparable to that german coffee shop down the street that has rimmed glasses wearing skinny metros hanging out in front of it

Not only does the PC have more games, their games are of higher quality. Graphically as well. All the AAA games are on PC. WAAAY better graphics. Games like DayZ and such and way better than the console exclusives.

I had to be sure, I had to call out; does the onion grace my presence? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Py_uDy3e18

Are not AAA games on console as well?

For multiplats the graphics are noticeably better, but I'm going to say that any console exclusive like Heavy Rain, Beyond Two Souls, or Uncharted 3 easily compare to some of the nicest looking PC games I can think of.

DayZ is not for consoles. PC automatically wins.
