    Funny, but I was the same way, but with PCs. I started with them. Yeah, I'm old: we had the Commodore 64 as the console of my day. To me, the PC was obviously better. But, I grew up before personal computers: PCs were an improvement on TV because it was interactive. I'm sure if I had grown up with consoles, I would have preferred them. I gave up on PCs for a year because I didn't want to keep upgrading just to play the latest games.

    So, I bought an XBox. I played sports games like Madden and FIFA, and it was ridiculously awesome. I still think the XBox controller is the perfect way to do sports games. I played Fallout 4 and Prey and the latest Dishonored, and it was great...except for the controls. I hate the XBox controllers for combat. I know some people are really good at playing shooters on the console, but the keyboard and mouse always feels faster to me.

    My son showed me the way back to the PC. He built a mid-range gaming rig for under $200. And, he was a kid (just turned 14). If he could afford it (using birthday money), then I sure as heck could spare a few coins for the guy who takes the kids to Texas Roadhouse every week. So, I build a better PC, and I'm back again. I bought Fallout 4, and it's awesome...the controls are certainly better.

    Still, I will go back to my console again (for something other than Hulu, I mean).

    And, how cool is it that I learned something from my son??? I'm not worried that the old man is a step slower; I'm just so happy that I managed to help produce something good in the world (something other than my homemade cinnamon ice cream, I mean, great though it is). I'm so proud of him. My wife and I did well.

    Got a Commodore 64 for christmas 83 ...I started in 1980 with a kit form ZX80 at 12 and spent many many many hours learning Z80 code and typing stuff in from mags etc.

    By the time I sold my 64...I had 4500 games on tape & disc...then the PC came along. I went the way of spending thousands on mine...remember my first decent graphics card purchase, bought from an exhibition at a special price of £695 in 1986 ish but then I had to buy a monitor to match the card another £1500

    Still have the monitor as I can't bear to part with it...I worked hard to get that fecker...a whole 21 inches of 70kg CRT...

    I love my PC and haven't done a console since Nintendo 64

    Pretty much the same with me. I know that by the end of the console's cycle, the same game looks much better on PC (if you have good enough PC), but consoles are just easier to maintain if you are a casuall player. ... On the other hand, I really miss Total War and other strategy games on consoles
