PC gaming is a form of gaming superior to console games in graphics, performance, and control. Often called 'Dead' by console fanboys, PC gaming is growing back into the mainstream, due to casual hits such as World of Warcraft and Counter-Strike. Expensive, and needs to be upgraded slightly every year or two, all games are made on PCs, and true gaming is done on one.

the superior device for gaming, for many reasons, such as:
1: it's cheaper to buy a PC than to buy a console, especially with rising console prices and dropping PC prices
2: you can play old games on better software and hardware on a computer
3: you can play old and new games on the same system
4: you can download mods to add to the game
5: if you don't like a game, just delete it, which saves resources and gives you data
6: steam lets you buy games over the internet, which is cheaper and doesn't use resources on packaging and game discs
7: you can program mods for it on your computer
8: there are free computer games to play
9: it is encouraging copycat consoles adding the internet and stuff to try to copy PC, so that's stuff that's better that it wants
10: thanks to steam, you don't have to drive or walk to the game store or anywhere to get games, you just need to buy them on your computer
also, if you write a negative definition, you're arguing against a PC on a PC. so get over it, console gamers. you offered no points. You may argue over screen size. there's massive smartTVs that act as monitors for a reason, and with consoles, you can't really have multiple monitors. also, you can play console exclusives on a PC with an emulator, and PC/console non-exclusive games, as well as PC exclusives, but you can't play PC exclusives on a console.
