" may act like PC games don't act like they offer rambo style killing. I'm simply saying that, based on my experiences with both systems, consoles are geared more toward novice users who just want to jump in and kill. I have never seen a game like Deus Ex on any console system. PC has their rambo games as well, but I think consoles are more like home-based arcades than the simulators that PCs are capable of being"
Deus Ex on PS2 for £9.99 down Toys R Us and any other major games store. (I should now I work on the section)
Let's see intelligent games for the console? umm.. how about Resident Evil (0,1,2,3,4 + Redux), Zelda, Eternal Darkness, Super Monkey Ball (this one does require brains to complete), Splinter Cell, Dead to Rights. And that's just what's on the Game Cube. Also how many PC games have four players stuck in front of 1 monitor? How many social skill based games are on the consoles? Let's see, bomberman generations, Halo, Wrestlemania X9, Super mario Party 4, etc.
Consoles will quickly push PC games into a niche market filled with RTS, Online RP and FPS games purely based on a bang for buck system. For Enter the Matrix too run properly on a PC you require an Athlon XP/ P4 processor, 256MB RAM and a GeForce 3/ ATI Radeon 8500 Card or better. The XBox on the other hand runs it on a 700MHz P3, 64MB RAM and a GeForce2 MX intergrated graphics chip. And the price difference of those 2 setups is a few hundred quid.
The next consoles due out in 2-3 years will be based on P4 chips (possibly on a next gen chip if it's cheap enough)
