console and computer balance out..... console has soo many games to play and it all plays on one system while on computer, you might have to upgrade and there aren't near as many games, i want a console because the computer doesn't really have any good single player games, but it just seems like the console cost so much money, i have a ps1 and we bought like 20 games for it for about 40 each, and after thinking about it, that is too much money to do again
