PCs will never be replaced by consoles, and vice versa.It's like comparing estate cars to sports cars. They're kind of similar and you can directly compare many things between them, but they're used for different things, aimed at different demographics, and designed with different concepts and aims in mind.I wouldn't want to use an Xbox to edit music or play any FPS, but I wouldn't want to play Mortal Kombat against my friends on my PC, either.One thing that does irk me is when companies cut corners by developing a game for both console and PC simultaneously. They inevitably end up with a hideous mutant hybrid which is good on neither.You sometimes get games which were developed on console, and then ported over to PC (and occasionaly vice versa). It always shows, and you always feel like a sucker playing the PC version when you just know it'd be more enjoyable playing it on console.Consoles and PCs are different in so many ways that I believe games should be developed for one or the other, and ported only under rare circumstances and/or after drastic changes. I'm a fan of PC gaming slightly more, personally, because the games on it tend to offer more diversity in options, and I'm a sucker for configuring stuff. That said, I love my beat 'em ups and racing games, and I don't think any PC could ever replace the in that facility. I couldn't bring myself to play Wipeout 2097 or Tekken 2 on a PC. It just wouldn't feel right.A good look at the difference between UT2K4 and UT3 is an excellent illustration of my points.
