I had a PS3 long before I got into PC gaming and I really like it! It's fun to be able to just sit on the couch and play a couple games of COD with friends.

I am definitely going to get a PS4, just for 1 game: Gran Turismo, best racing game of all time in my opinion. I'll probably pick up a PS4 when it get cheaper in the future probably a used one from ebay.

Planetside 2, Arma 3, DayZ, Total War series, The witcher 2, Metro2033, Dota 2, Command & Conquer, Company of Heroes 2, The Elder Scrolls Online, End of Nations

and the list goes on...

You listed great games, but some of those aren't even out yet.I said wow, Lol, and whatever other game i mentioned, because that's what's the majority of the PC base plays. Yes i do play strategy games, No im not Console fanboy as i spend most of my gaming time on my PC. I'm just not leaning toward a bias opinion like most people do.

I'm a PC/Nintendo gamer. I've always been a Nintendo fan and, other than their consoles, I've never had any PlayStations or Xboxes. Mario, The Legend of Zelda, Metroid, Kirby, Pikmin, Bomberman and Fire Emblem series always have me coming back.

There are some good exclusives, Halo 4, Ni no Kuni, Gears. No to mention some games run a bit better due to poor porting (GTA IV). So there are reasons to own one, and considering this late in the cycle a console costs less than a graphics card refresh there's really no reason not to pick one up if you want it.

and again ur wrong the majority doesnt just play 1 game they play multiple games they might play LoL Bf3 WoW those are just some of the tripple A games out there yes but its bias to say that every one plays them 24/7 and thats what ur suggesting with ur post

maybe u should install some other games on ur 1K game rig look around

and btw all those games i mentioned have prequels u might wanna try them out

well accept for end of nations

I love consoles at the beginning of a gen basically because as a new gen starts my current pc always crap out, so the easy short term solution is to buy a console have fun with it and then a few months later build a mothafuckin PC. My ps3 is just a Netflix/Exclusives machine right now. GTA V and MGS 5 are probably going to be the last games that my ps3 will see as the PC ports/Versions are yet to be announced.

I had a PS3 for a number of years.  It eventually died, and I then fixed it and had it up and running for another few months.  It is currently sitting in pieces in a drawer. The only thing I miss about having a console really is the fighting games.  I'm fond of the genre, but I have plenty fighting games on my PS2 which still works.  I'd buy a PS4/Next Xbox if the support for the fighting genre were established even further, or if they would allow certain games to support a mouse and keyboard.  I know it won't happen, but it would be nice would it not?

I own a 360 mainly for the Forza series and hack'n'slash games like Bayonetta and Dante's Inferno. On top of that I use it as a Netflix client. That's about it.

Tekken, Marvel vs capcom, Fifa or any other type of sports game. playing tekken or marvel vs capcom on a keyboard = horrible i know u can hook up the controller to your pc but the drivers arent always supported its the only reason why i would actually buy a console

No Halo? Only reason  have an xbox 360, halo.

I own a PS3 for JRPGs like Final Fantasy, Hyperdemension Neptunia and of course the exclusives. You only get those on a PS3 or "soonish" FFXV on PS4.

I continue to be a JRPG Playstation fanboy, Everything else that also appears on PC I will get instead no biggie. When the day comes when big companies like NIS, ATLUS, and Aksys, publishes all their games on PC, I will transition fully to PC. For now Visual Novels, Steam, and emulators will populate my computer.
