console gaming will probably not replace computer gaming for a long time LadyLorraine Send a noteboard - 02/04/2011 09:42:06 AM
and even then, there will always be those of who prefer to use a computer. In general, you have vastly superior control power with a keyboard/mouse than you do with a control pad. There's just more options, as well as a greater ability to fully utilize the dexterity of the human hand. On my laptop, I can turn with my mouse, be pushing buttons with my left hand, and, if I have to, reach up and push "oh shit dying" hotkeys with my right pinky finger. You just can't do 5 things at once on a console, as they are now.

Not to mention that any fervent strategy player or RPG player would shoot themselves before primarily playing those on consoles :P

I suppose, but I think it more accurate to say laptops are replacing desktops. *NM* Ghavrel - 02/04/2011 11:01:41 AM 112 Views
Honestly, even some of us who aren't "Everyday users" get buy without desktops. LadyLorraine - 02/04/2011 09:38:16 AM 322 Views
