Great article. One day consoles WILL be nothing but a PC. As kids grow more tech savvy the idea of using a Keyboard and mouse as well as PC like options and installations will not be such a daunting idea. Every generation since the Super Nintendo has tried more and more to be like a PC. The trend will continue until we are all gaming on unified PC models, instead of consoles.

Well the PS3 is able to double as a Linux computer. But that aside, PCs are mostly suffering under their costs of upgrade and frequency required to do so for most of the nicer newer games.

I personally see the industry tripping over it's shoelaces. All they have to do is tie up those troublesome loose ends and they can litteraly get up and running.

Bring the price of games down to counter piracy instead of bulling and big brothering users. Restrictions will only spur on others to get around those.

DON'T COPY THAT FLOPPY!

2.2 - I agree with Solar...
...but I'd also add that proper planning is extremely essential. I find that the higher end quality upgrades keep you playing for much longer then the quick, "just enough to play this game" cheap upgrades. You spend more in the long run on incremental upgrades on the PC. Then again I will always expect the PC to be better given total cost to configure a better then average or good rig vs purchasing a console.
