Microsoft - Playstation 3's New Best Friend?
...hat the brand name here, is Microsoft, which is by no means loved by all.
For 62 out of 100 people struggling between the choice of the Ps3, or a Xbox 360, two consoles that are largely considered to be similar gaming systems (though this opinion is rapidly swaying in the Ps3's favor) 62/100 of these people will have a much easier choice with this decision simply because of this simple fact; the Xbox 360 is made by Microsoft, and the Ps3, isn't. The x box 360's association with Microsoft is an automatic strike against the x box 360 for 62/100 consumers. This is a huge boost for the PS3.

Console Gaming vs. Computer Gaming
...yet. Consoles are purely for gaming and run between 100-500 bucks. PCs on the other hand are much more than a gaming machine and run between 1,500-3,000 dollars and need to be upgraded every now and again to play the newest and greatest games.
Genre is an issue. If you are a Real Time Strategy fan and only have a console, I mourn for you. And if you are a platformer fan, then computer gaming will be a sad mistake.
