For me, the differences between consoles and PCs is the controls. I won't play a FPS on a console, and I didn't buy Tomb Raider for my PC. Starcraft 2 isn't even available on console but they are finally getting Diablo 3. I wouldn't want to play Uncharted on PC, but they are awesome games. But looking at numbers, I have like 5 PS3 games compared to over 15 on my PC. And that's just the ones I have installed, not all the ones I own.

The point Joe is trying to make is that a game doesn't HAVE to have the best graphics or framerate to be fun. It CAN have that, but it's not a requirement. I think we all know that to be true.
Other than that PC & Console gaming both have their pros and cons

Current consoles have graphics chips from 2005. They aren't quite "bottom feeders" as they are better than trying to game on a tablet or smartphone, but a 4 year old PC is still a full generation ahead of them in technologies and capabilities.
Console are BUDGET gaming systems, and you most definitely get what you pay for.
Nothing says you've lost the ability to debate intelligently quite like trying to make a personal insult. Children on playgrounds do it all of the time. And you're how old again?

Can't take a little humor man!!?? Yeah we're in the minority because the majority is too lazy to have to tool with a pc. Notice how the quality of games have gotten worse over the years? Guess why? The minority.

I can, I just didn't understand your joke. It's not laziness, it's the fact that console graphics are "good" enough.

As I've said you don't have to spend 1000+, you can buy a quite capable starter pc on newegg for 200-300 bucks, which will be better than the new consoles in every way not to mention cheaper. Furthermore these starter pc's can be upgraded slowly, piece by piece, into a monster. Your console is **** from start to finish.

Who took the survey? Or where did you get this number? I highly doubt they asked a lot of kids, because when I went to middle school, 90% of the kids (male) played video games, and I highly doubt that was just my school. I'm sure in more rural areas, the percentage was a lot lower, but in urban/city area, I'm sure it was close to the same.
Edit: I should have specifically said people that play console/PC games.
