PCs are superior to consoles

On the note of cost: While the cost is a appealing feature for PC's, its important to know that developers are shying away from the PC scene because with the console market being much more lucrative and available, they have a chance to make much more money and soon developers will make a complete shift to console gaming. It's simple, game companies go where the money is, and consoles are where the sales come in. In 2012, over 32 million software units were sold for PC's or like produce (computers). Compare this to the combined sale from Xbox, PS3, and Wii reaching over 331 million units sold, this number completely demolishes the sales of the PC. Look at GTA V, they sold over 25 million copies, without a PC port. Sure they'll get to it one day, but they know where to butter the bread. (P.S. The sales demographic for PC doesn't count F2P). Another issue is that gaming is a constantly evolving industry, with games coming out with the latest and greatest hardware. Most consoles today have graphics set for the next couple years of gaming, no changes needed. However, with consoles, you'll most likely be needing to reguraly update and change your graphics card as the years go by, eventually putting more money into your system. Think of it like this. A gas engine car costs around 30,000 dollars, while most hybrids today are 45-50,000 dollars. Sure you're getting better mileage, but it'll take 10 years to equal the value you could've got if you got the gas car. Usability/Set-up: Consoles have been long regarded for their ease of use and set up. While some people argue for PC saying that as long as you're educated about computers, PCs become easy to use, you have to understand that some people, most people, seek instant gratification, and consoles feed that desire. A PC requires many different components, files, software, firmware and many different pieces and parts to make your gaming experience enjoyable. Consoles are simple. A cable to your TV; a cable to your internet, and a little on screen setups, and you're ready to go in less than 20 minutes. It's also a snowball like effect, people go to where their friends are, and even the most hardcore PC gamer that swears his allegiance with his right hand on his gaming tower, if his friends all game on console, he'll eventually buy one. Even tablets are slowly taking over PC sales. Estimated demographics say that tablets such as the Surface and Note will outsell PC's by the year 2017 Your argument on mature audience is somewhat opinionated and irrelevant. I can tell you from someone who has played on all platforms, i have gotten a number of childish players while playing TF2 and CS:GO, i mean look at TF2, why would a 10 year old ask for an xbox to play games when he can play TF2 for FREE. All platforms have their audiences, you can't just single out a group. Ive seen children on Xbox PS3 and PC, and I've seen serious teamwork driven players on all systems. Plus for you to even mention points and not even argue them, only hurts you. Imagine if political debates worked like that, a candidate can't just, not argue about foreign policy. And the mentioning of settings, does it really make a difference on play settings and graphics, hell most graphics the human eye can't even distinguish that well.
