Re: Xbox 360

Not that everyone who plays console games is stupid, they just don't take gaming seriously, or have the console for non-serious gaming. There is no way someone can sit in front a console and do a three or four hour patrol holding a noob-stick.
Hardly I take gaming very seriously as do many 360ers. And on the 3-4 hour patrols, I've done 5 hour races in Nascar Thunder, that's right 5 hours of driving in circles! So trust me I could do patrols.

Consoles are like to computers, as the television is to cinema. A cinema experience forces immersion, whereas television is a casual on the side experience, where you talk to people, eat, do ther stuff, and can be stopped at any point.
I don't think you actually believe this. How many people on this forum have gotten up and eaten or gone to the bathroom or even pause the game while playing SH3? I'd say 99% at least.

An SH game is getting more and more ridiculous the more I think about it. If you can imagine yourself playing SH5 on a console, then you should ask yourself wheather you really care about what you are playing.
Actually alot of people do care about their console games. Take a look at Steel Battalion http://www.gamespot.com/xbox/action/...eel%20battlion It's a $200 game and if you look at vital stats it says it has almost 1000 people who bought it. A $200 game! Most of this cost is for the keyboard and now Xbox 360 has USB ports you can already plug in you own. No need for controllers. And almost 100 people still play Steel Battalion, a game released in 2002 at $200 a pop.
