The things that keep me from getting a console are; a mouse, consoles won't run AutoCAD, my bitchen PC is a tax right off when it is upgraded, and I hate the console controllers.

I did have a PS1 back in College, but that was before I had a PC. My current PC makes me money on the side, which I would have to hypothesis that a console wouldn't make me any money. Yes, my PC cost me $3400, but then again over the last 4 years that I have had it, it has helped me earn over ten times that much. So, from a cost comparison, I am actually quite a bit ahead of any console gamer. For me, it is just not worth it to spend any money on something that will not have any returns other than the gaming side of it. Which my PC handles very well. I ran COD4 for about 3.5 hours last night with no problems. I also ran it on WoW for 2 hours.

PC's vs Consoles are in my opinion an Apples to Oranges comparison. At least in my case that is. For some people it may be a better comparison. If I spent that $3400 plus an extra $400 for a new video card and didn't get any returns from my PC from a financial stand point, then yes I would be WAYYYY behind a Console user.

Either way, COD4 rocks!!! WoW is fun too.
