Would you play a SH3 type game on a consol?

Talking as a parent, i don't see that even lower cost justify wasting(yes , it's complete and utter throwing away of your money) any money on consoles, for reason of 2 other points that you mentioned there and several others. Plus i want my child to learn something in addition , which is absolutely impossible on consoles.

I just don't see how can you make new game out of published game (like GWX and others ) with console, since there is no tools for it.It would have to be heavily instanced(lots of zone reloading) , for example, due to console limitations.

I don't have a game console and will never have (I think), so the answer is no.

Speaking as an overgrown kid, I don't see what's wrong with letting kids have some fun. They've got school for learning!

As I said I personally don't like console games, but I'm not against consoles outright, I'm just not interested in getting one for myself... not until the games and game controllers have evolved a bit. When I have kids I'm sure I'll buy them a console, if they want one. PC games may tend to be a bit more challenging, but I wouldn't go so far as to call them "educational".

Just my 2p.

NO !!! ABSOLUTELY NOT !!!
Consoles aren't made for games like this. They will NEVER EVER be a platform for hardcore sims. Consols are made to cater to the "arcade" crowd.
Now if you'll excuse me.. I'm off to play Dangerous Waters.

Well, it would be possible in console that has keyboard and mouse.
Oh wait..
It's PC
