I really like this line:
I'm a console gamer because my friends are console gamers, and because console gaming still supports physical media to some degree. My low bandwidth cap means I can't download whole games at a time and I rely on physical media to play. Neither of these reasons are things that I control, but are inherent in my environment.

This is a good point. In the end it doesn't really matter what platform you game on, as long as you have a good time. That is what gaming is all about.

I don't think anyone can say it much better than that :)

I game on everything because it makes no sense to limit myself to any specific avenue. Given the choice, I'm not sure why anyone would. I think people generally start to polarize their viewpoint when they have access to one kind of device, and not another.

If you have the time, money, and bandwidth then that makes sense. But many of us have a limiting factor or two that limits us to our "best fit" system of choice.

The whole approach to the article was great. I actually really liked his point about not having comfortable PC gaming furniture. I'm actually having the same problem with my consoles right now. Ever since we mounted the TV above the fireplace, I've had to crane my head up to see. It's awesome when I'm watching TV from the recliner. It's terrible when I'm on the edge of my seat gaming.

Interesting. I am the polar opposite. Lots of my friends have consoles, but I don't like most of the games they play. There are always 1 or 2 games for each console that I really want to play, but I don't consider that worth the purchase of a console. When I was living in BFE, I would take my case to my friends place and download games.
