They do, especially for games that are suited to the PC like flight simulators and strategy games. But the PC is designed, physically, for people to do work on. It can't double up as a communal television. Also, it is designed now for multitasking, which is incompatible with game playing. Already, by making PCs come as standard with 3D cards and SuperWoofer speakers is giving many people something they don't want or need. I think people should get more for their thousand pounds than a super powerful machine that they don't know how to make use of. Consoles perform a specific task, so people know what they are getting for their money. Jeff
