Like someone already said, consoles are for casual gamers for some light entertainment. They're there to feed the stupid masses. 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.

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.

Consoles have co-existed with computers since the dawn of electronic gaming. PCs are far too popular at the moment to die. The PC gaming sub-culture is very big.

I would go as far as to say PC gaming is for true enthusiasts, no matter what genre you're talking about. It's all about customisation, making ones own computer better is a fun hobby for many people. It is the PC market that drives graphics technology, not the consoles. PCs are the bleeding edge of gaming, and someone needs to be at the forefront.

Which brings me to the number one most important thing. PC games allow modding!!! Almost every PC game gets modded these days, and it is something that gamers love to have. Imagine SH without mods!

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. There are plenty of other games around that cater for big explosions.
