BioShock, Tomb Raider for me, but yeah, pretty much this.  Turn console on.  Insert game disc.  Play.  Shut off when done.  Easy as you like.

are you not a fan of the 3 dozen Minecraft ripoffs currently available on Xbox?

do they not entertain you?

I can't get enough of FortressCraft. It was ma favorite game evar. Tied with that is No Luca No. Quality stuff there.

Comfortable chair and 50 inch tv are better for my old a** and
eyes! Xbox also fits my gaming budget.

I find it funny that Mass Effect 1 is a better port than Mass Effect 2, and especially Mass Effect 3.

[RedCaesar97]

Several reasons, including:

1) No minimum/recommended specs to consider.

2) No (obvious) DRM (Digital Rights Management) for most games.

3) PC or PCs may be shared amongst family members.

4) Can be difficult to play some games with multiple people on one computer, easier on consoles.

5) Familiarity/Comfort with console controllers versus keyboard and mouse.

6) PC may be dedicated for non-gaming tasks. See also 4) above.

7) A good gaming PC can cost more than a current console. NOTE: I am sure a dedicated PC gamer here can refute this claim, but I have seen this argument more than once. The next generation of consoles will undoubtedly see an increase in cost, just not sure if it will match/exceed a new gaming PC.

8) Brand loyalty/console exclusives.

9) More portable so you can borrow/lend with friends and family as required. Most games can be easier to lend as well; DRM, game registration restrictions on PC can restrict game sharing.

And I know at least one person who says he likes playing on Xbox because he works with computers all day.

Edit: 
10) Comfy chair/recliner/bed for playing consoles.

1. Price
2. People might have more friends who play Xbox than PC.
3. Origin will make you want to cut your balls of.

 I know nothing of consoles but I heard it is the price. A decent computer is not that expensive, so that can't be the primary reason. Given that most people these days have a computer why would anyone play on X-box?

For me it has nothing to do with price, I spend lots of money on computer hardware each year for work purposes. It is more that I would genuinely rather play on Xbox. I prefer to play on the couch in front of the tv. I spend too much time working on the computer, I'd rather not play on it too.

Lifelong PC gamer here. Started FPSs with Wolfenstein 3D (that should date me pretty well).

I bought an Xbox to play with my brother, who already had an Xbox. Started ME on his recommendation. PC controls are superior in general, but once I got used to the console controls they weren't as bad as I had feared.

The biggest problem in this game is how limited the camera and movement sensitivity is on consoles. Also autoaim is downright detrimental to the game. That should have been a toggle we can turn off.

If we could have shared manifests across platforms I'd play both versions. As it is who has time to max two manifests?

XBL is basically one big DRM with a shop attached (ditto on the SEN).

Controller is so much more convenient than a keyboard.

[Uchimura]

Different types of games and available games. I dread using a controller for shooters, but I likely wouldn't use anything else for games like Devil May Cry.

[FellowMusicFan]

I grew up playing on a console and while I have a PC perfectly capable of running Mass Effect 3 Xbox Live is a much more social experience. Having my friends in a party chat no matter what game they are playing is fun. Of course you can do the same with a PC, but it isn't centered around the same couch, sit down and play mentality. Also, why just the question to Xbox 360 players?

[King Ptolemy IV]

its where my friends are and people are generally friendly and social. none of my friends have gaming pcs because I grew up in a lower middle to middle class neighborhood. after pc gaming for over a year, trying numerous clans, and talking to many people, I have never connected with anyone. not sure if its the fault of pc gamers but having a dozen different programs people use to communicate doesn't make it easy. on xbox there is only ingame voip and the party system so u don't have people on ingame chat, a dozen teamspeak channels, and skype among others. its also very simple, cheap, and easy to play. after months I still can't get used to M&k and stick to controllers when I can.

Yeah see i don't really like shooters.

[TheGreatDayne]

What? No PS3? Well, we are the second smallest community, around here...
Well, if I had to choose... I would probably choose Xbox, since I love action games! But, if I had ME3 for it, I'd probably never play online, since I am cheap, and don't want to pay to play online... And I can always buy those controllers for the PC... Sure, I pay for PSN+, but the free games are an awesome incentive... So, the ME3MP is cheaper on PC... But, Origin has a bad rep, around here...

You know what? I'd probably never play ME3MP if I had it on Xbox or PC!

[oO Stryfe Oo]

Have always been a console gamer, as OP has always been a PC gamer (apparently). It's just a matter of what I'm used to. Besides, I've got both an Xbox and Ps3. Why buy/build a new PC for gaming when I've got two perfectly fine consoles right here?

If anything, the only games I want to play on PC are Bethesda's titles. Those mods look sick. In fact, I actually bought Fallout 3, my first foray into PC gaming, only to find out it wasn't compatible with Windows 7.


So...consoles are what I'm used to. Trying to play PC games makes me feel like I'm trying to learn a new language.

Hey - it's a PC you don't have to choose; get 2 monitors and you can even do both at once*

I don't play on a X-Box but on a PS3. But I guess that still qualifies me to answer this question.

I have a computer, actually several of them. But I don't have a Windows PC. I haven't owned a Window PC in the last five and half years. For me personally that is a good thing because it saves me a lot of trouble.

My PS3 cannot compete with a modern Windows Gaming PC. But it is so convenient to use:

• Figuring out whether a game will work with my hardware is easy: if it says PS3 on the packaging it will work.
• Installing updates is easy: the PS3 will tell me if I need one. Performing the update is trivial. And there is always only one update, never several of them that require multiple reboots.
• Installing game patches is equally easy: the PS3 just tells you when there is one, downloads the patch and installs it.

Also it seems to be that PC Origin players suffer from disconnects much more frequently that PlayStation Network users.

I have a console to play the Mortal Combat series
FPS gaming on a console is terrible though... I am pretty sure that trying to play some of the classic FPS games like UT, Q3A or Doom3 with a controller would result in an epic fail... This spray&pray stuff can be played easily though and it will stay as no one will produce a FPS that is exclusively designed for PC which is very sad... These games were much better
