-You render the PC useless to do other things then just gaming (I don't see myself writin a whole piece on the floor, behind a lounge table if I'm lucky that the wires of my keyboard and mouse reach that far.)
-It turns the living room into a mess of calbes (Power, Video, Audio, Internet if you're not on Wi-Fi, Keyboard and Mouse, joystick etc)
-You have to deal with wife and perhaps kids wanting to watch something on the TV well...you either turn off the PC and let them watch or move back to your desk.

So yeah Takeda may have lost his dignity but at leas he can keep his PC for himself

-What can a console do while hooked up and running a game? Nothing! (personally my PC does a hell of a lot while running a game/sim windowed on one monitor while browsing etc. on the other!) Pretty sure a console won't do that!

-Wireless; just like xbox/any other computer on the market!

-Console style games for PC shouldn't require a keyboard any more than for xbox.

-Lappy should have less wires that a console!

-Pretty sure this would be a bigger issue on a console where you can't run multiple monitors!

Sorry mate, not an attack, just sayin'!
