Consoleitis 

Consoleitis, is the problem of console-to-computer ports, where gameplay, is reduced to mindless, bashing of buttons, without any intellectual stimulation.

Square Enix’s “Life Is Strange” series, “Star Ocean: Towards The End of Time,” and “Nier: Automata,” avoid consoleitis, by having deeply philosophical storylines.

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.

console-itis 

Describes a videogame ported to PC from a console system, or co-developed for both console and PC, that is percieved to suffer from the alleged shortcomings of console gaming.

Symptoms of console-itis include save points, low texture/graphical detail, poor or no mouse support, lack of gameplay depth, and limited configuration options.

Presumably, with consoles becoming more and more like PCs, console-itis will become less and less of an issue in the days and years to come in the future of the age of tomorrow.

There are too many examples to list. Just think of almost any console game ported to PC that you've played, and there's your example.

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?
