I agree, yes, but in all honesty I don't give a shit. I just love the convenience of not having to worry about whether my PC is up to date hardware-wise.

As for technologically demanding, PC exclusive games, and games made only for the other consoles, well, I choose not to give a shit, either. That's because I accept the fact that I don't own those hardware and cannot play those games, so I simply focus on what's available and up and coming for my Xbox360, and pick and choose there. I don't think it's better than having the most bleeding edge PC, any more than if I already have a bleeding edge PC and am tempted to declare that that is better than any next gen console.

It is what it is, at least for me. I know what I'm missing.

I have a Xbox, and undoubtably will get a 360 at some point, but it's only for the convenience.
Exactly. But for me personally it has turned into a lifestyle. I just come home from work, pop in a game, and vanish for a couple hours or so. It's a non-geek geekiness.
