I noticed that 90% of the kids I know game on a console
And just about every adult gamer I know plays on PC

Why is that?

Kids grew up on console games They are relativly new. They are very adept at the controls which I find maddening.

They have been around since the early 80s but they used to suck so bad not everyone was into it.
They werent a household item.

When the 1st ATMs came out older people were afraid to use them. Thought they would erase their money by accident.

People who grew up with computers wernt

Nooo... Consoles are easy to handle, but with PCs you'll need some knowledge.. Thinking about the kids mothers buying the consoles. They are a lot less expensive too

I like playing console games just not online. honestly id rather have them for pc if its possible. I have nes, snes, n64, and game cube,  sega, genesis, sega saturn, dreamcast, ps1&2, xbox, and xbox 360 they all work. just for ps2 alone i have like 50 or 60 games. I dont play them as much anymore but i think i keep them for nostalgia. Maybe ill sell them all on ebay one day....

I've got a modded xbox and modded ps2 hooked up to the tv right now.  Older consoles are all in boxes collecting dust.  I like them fine and still use them.  However no console game has kept me interested in it as long as PC games have.

Basically, PC gaming is more expensive and playing with the mouse and keyboard is insane to most people.  The hardware stuff is also very confusing to alot of people.  On the other hand, consoles are more expensive in the long run since you buy some crap games that become boring in a week and end up dropping another $50 where as with the PC you check out demos and what not before you even buy one usually.

I'm not a kid but I enjoy consoles.

When I had a ps2 I played Socom 2 online and PES5 online too. I had a harddrive for it and over 30 games

I prefer PC's for FPS's and RTS's where as I prefer consoles for Sports games and things like that

I've only played pcs since i was a child - beginning with snake, tetris, centipede and space invaders et al on a 1980s BBC
consoles simply never existed in my life as such - i was never bought one and having grown very fond of the pc i can't see myself ever buying one

i have both. They offer different types of games. PC games for the most part are more complicated and tend to draw an older audience.
