Most of the time i think that consoles prevail out of laziness. The argument i always hear since the early playstation days is usually a variation of "Well if you have a console you just have to play the game and not worry about installing it, making it start and shit like that. you put it in and you play". Also magazine and software developers love to lie about the issue, saying that (i quote) "even the best PC cant give the performance of an XBOX360" (that was written on Gamespot).
Videogames are still seen as juvenile disposable garbage directed to kids, so the easiest way to market them is selling them as half baked items on a console.

Agreed. They're still psychos that dress like extras fro thew party in "Shining" (a reference that was re-enforced by the intro. i keep thinking of rapture like a steampunk version of the overlook hotel), but they play with my wekness this time. I might be a big and strong big daddy, but when they start playing sniper with me while aome of t hem surround me in a corner, it gets scary.
