Consolitis 

A word used by PC gamers to describe the cost-friendly practice of developers in which a video game is clearly designed to accommodate the limited capabilities of console systems.

Symptoms include inferior graphics, sluggish gameplay, clumsy user interfaces, checkpoint-based save systems, a lack of dedicated servers, limited customization and simplified game mechanics.
It was clear that due to the overwhelming amount of negative user reviews of Modern Warfare 2 for PC that Infinity Ward had contracted consolitis.

Consorte by Cesar O Perez August 30, 2008
A conversational parasite. One who often begins a conversation but makes no effort to carry it. They rely on you to converse while the only contribution they make are filler questions like, "What's new?". An annoying characteristic of a convosite is its apparent disinterest in the conversation that it initiated in the first place. They don't seem to have anything interesting to say.
In an instant messenger chat:

Convosite: "Hey"
You: "Hi there."
Convosite: "What's up?"
You: "I'm just getting dressed, about to head out for a party."
Convosite: "K"

(...time passes)
Convosite: "What's new?"
You: "Nothing since the last time you asked which was 5 minutes ago..."
Convosite: "K"
(...time passes)
Convosite: "So what can you tell me?"
You: "Dude, stop asking convositic questions. Say something interesting or shutup!"

consolize 

The act of creating a PC game which contains console game design concepts or gameplay offering more instant gratification. These design concepts include, but are not limited to the following:

-Unlockables
-Less customization features
-Very little control for multiplayer hosts

Consolization can often be a result of porting a console game to PC and may often be accompanied by sloppy optimization and widespread technical issues of all kinds.

It may also less literally mean "cheapened" or "simplified" and can, as such, sometimes be applied even to certain console games.
"Man, those games used to be awesome, but lately they've just been consolized."

consolitus 

A disease inflicted upon modern games in order for them to work and operate on consoles (even next gen). Symptoms include retro graphics, bad scaling, closer draw distance, poor fidelity, and bad bad texturing. The PC users of games with consolitus are warned that it can cause disappointment and frustration, to anger, and eventually the dark side.
Goddamn, I spent $40 on this game and it is infested with consolitus. Just look at the horrible graphics on my uber PC. Why? Why? Why?
