Titles like FF, GranTurismo, and MGS you can't really find outside of the console realm...
Consolitus is a serious medical problem... you should check in with your doctor.
Seriously, pc gaming has always been for the more matured gamer. There is no arguing with it. While they simplify games for console users we end up getting shafted because of the consoles limitations. This is quite a knock to the console community because finally our hardware (that has always been substantially better) has finally proven so and taken the front of the pack.
We have people still playing games from the 90's heavily such as Half-Life and Starcraft. You would never see such a developed community on consoles. Most of us put our machines together... and most of us understand the basic ideas behind the hardware... most console users are totally unaware of the machine they are using. All the care about is.. can I put it in and press play?
Whoa, what's
your problem?
It's almost painful to read such extensive generalizations, line after line. What the heck is a more matured gamer? If you mean to imply that age is an indication of maturity, then perhaps it is gentle to assume that console players tend to be younger. However, age in no way reflects maturity.
There are many children's games on the PC; a classification of games which you wouldn't even find on a console. There are early education PC titles, virtually none of which you'll find on that sparkling Xbox360 or for pre-order with your PS3. Maybe if you've got your head stuck in a Myst or Riven community, perhaps you may develop the misconception that PC gamers are more matured. Even in Counter-Strike it's clear to most that immaturity is nearly a requirement if you desire to fit in or at least avoid friction.
Back in the 90s, consoles were still young and, in my opinion, still consoles. There was no Xbox Live! or online capabilities whatsoever. So
of course you won't be finding developed Mario Party or Perfect Dark communities. Though today, the Xbox Live! community is quite large and growing.
And I don't know where you got the idea that most PC users have put their own machines together. Maybe you should inform Dell, HP, or even that company in your signature about this fact.
What are the basics of computer hardware? That electricity is pumped through the components and they work? You press the press the power button on your case and stuff appears on the screen? Yeah, I'm also sure most modern human beings may understand these sorts of "basics." However ask people what the function of the FSB is, or how clock speeds for RAM are determined and I think you'll start to find many people don't actually know.
And finally, congratulations, by your last sentence it seems you've discovered the entire appeal of consoles all together.
