I'm not sure I agree with this, the more money that has been invested into individual games the higher the risk of a loss that has lead to reduced variety and creativity for the sake of increased visual fidelity.
you may classify more first person shooters are "more AAA" titles but where did the flight sims go, the mech sims, the sci fi flight sims, the adventure games, where are the RTS's
Isn't it about time somebody manned up and just agreed to disagree?

No, you weren't. "My analogy" was a device to point out how Danny's analogy doesn't work at all. That's it. In other words, PC GAMING IS NOT LIKE FINE DINING.
Anything you have to say after that is just trolling.

There's nothing "snobby" with that though, unlike Apple's superiority which is firmly based on marketing, PC's superiority is based on facts.

Vrock wrote:The snobbiness comes from the elitism. You are so confident in the superiority of your platform that you insult and debase people who don't share that ideal. Because hey, if they can't see how superior the PC is to console gaming, then they must be idiots!

That's right, just the other day, I was at a five-star restaurant, and when my filet mignon stuffed with lobster showed up, I had to open the .ini file and spend six hours tweaking settings, and then I had to go to a whole 'nother restaurant to download some mods to really get the meal how I like it.

Sure, Vrock is right.. america is full of idiots eating at McDonalds and Arbys. But some of us like real food. Food with a soul rather than fat layered fat.
Even I, sometimes whip through Burger King or some such if I'm in a rush but this happens about once or twice a year... and if you really want something that tastes good, you're not going there. Why then do the fast food places still exist? Because they're popular. Exactly like consoles. It's easy. 12 year olds with ADD can figure out 6 buttons.
There are some games like racing games, tennis, ect that I'd much rather play on a console. FPS, though, is steak. And fast food places don't serve steak.

So, in closing, the millions of people stuffing their face at McDonalds will probably never care that there are places you can buy and eat real food.
It doesn't pay to try to convince them that real food is better than the crap they eat. Fact of the matter is, Vrock is right and the majority like that crap or it wouldn't be selling.

I've already dealt with this: A platform accessible and preferred by a larger number of people yields greater potential reward for large monetary investments in gaming, encouraging more AAA titles

Because my Skyrim is dialled up 11 via mods, all running in beautiful 1080p @ 60+ fps (real 1080p none of this upscaling crap) thanks to my 560ti SLI setup and its just amazing, between that and the Witcher 2 who needs the "next generation" its already here.
