I for one am not ready to ditch the 360 quite yet. In fact, the consoles are
about at the point where releasing a new console will make minimal
differences to the games so I am perfectly happy to stick with 360 for some
time to come, even if PC inches its way past in graphical power.
Speaking of that though, I do not think PC games are vastly surpassing the 360
at all. Its going to take a while until enough people have good enough PCs
for the games to really outshine the 360. It was fairly obvious when the PC
was a greater resolution or at least progressive scan when TVs were not. Now
in the HD era, the difference is less noticable.
The only thing I dislike about the 360 is how damn noisy it is. Although I am
lucky in that I am only on my second console and I had NO DRM hassle when
they replaced the motherboard and DVD-ROM drive, they migrated my old
consoles serial number to the new motherboard.
Am I the only person still bothered about achievements? I still find it hard
to play Wii and PC games due to the lack of achievements. Yes I know some PC
games have em, but if its a choice between the same game on PC or 360 I
choose 360 so they do not count.
