I'm with you on this one. I own a PS3 and for the past 3 years I've only purchased 3 games. FIFA 11, 12, and 13.

I will probably buy a PS4 just for FIFA XX

You know you can buy the exact same games on PC cheaper, and play with a pad on it with much better resolution and Framerate?

Purchasing a console to play only non-exclusive titles... I have never understood that.

A gaming PC that can run these games on a better resolution and framerate costs a lot more than a PS3

Let's not start price comparisons. Can you do photoshop on PS3? Can you edit documents ? Can you run professional applications ?

A PC will ALWAYS do more things than a console, and the better you PC config is, the better all your applications will run so it's win-win for all you do with it.

Besides, even games are cheaper and faster to buy on PC. So compare the price of a PS3 with 30 games with one of a PC with 30 games and you will see your argument is wrong.

The question was basically, why would anybody buy a PS3 for these games instead of a PC?

I just told you. It's cheaper. That's not some obscure "gotcha" reason.

I could, but I've been playing with the same group of people (in a Pro Club) for the past 4 years, I'm in too deep. Plus, I just like the Playstation.
