I must admit, Im a bit taken back by the statement that a pc gets
better value for money the more games you buy.

How many games do you have to buy on the pc before the same quantity
on n64 is more expensive. lets see

(price n64) + A*(pricen64game) = (price PC) + A*(pricePCgame)

100 + A*55 = 1000 + A*30

A = 60

therefore you need to buy over 60 games (roughly) before a pc gets
better value, which would come to a total price of 2800 pounds. Show
me a person that would buy 60 games for any system and Ill show you
someone who must be so unhappy with most of the games they shouldnt
have bought a system in the first place.

The only point really worth considering is that PCs and Consoles cant
really be compared, as years nad years of debate has shown. I could
quite happily live without a console, but not without a pc, but that
is in the full knowledge that it cost 10 times more.
