[QUOTE="Janx, post: 6155191, member: 8835"] For my house, the 360 always gets way more usage. At this point, since the laser died on my BC 60GB PS3, it's not even hooked up anymore (doubly annoying is how a box that rarely gets used has a laser die). Exclusive titles don't mean diddly to me. I don't buy a console for a specific game. I buy it for the general pile of usefulness I will get out of it. Most of my games are cross-platform, and generally there's an equivalent game to an Exclusive. I think the Ouya is certainly an interesting new variable for the serious-casual gamer. It's cheap, and does every non-game thing the big boys will do, and will have a large catalog of games to play. It should certainly kill the Nintendo demographic if marketed well. PC gaming is something I avoid. There was a time I used to play mostly PC games. I enjoyed building a reconfiguration system to get my autoexec.bat/config.sys to flip around to support various games. I don't get that kind of joy anymore, and it really irritates me when I have to spend time figuring out how to fix my wife's game so it'll run on her machine. PC games are naturally superior due to the better hardware and potential for customization. But PC software never "just works" like a Console. So PC gaming is not for everyone, and it's not even a problem of technical skill (I run an IT company). Once you get old enough, you just don't want to spend your free time fixing somebody else's mistake. [/QUOTE]
