Console games, at least some of them, do have fixes/patches issued online from time to time. The most recent example I personally own is GT5 for PS3. For me, the biggest plus for PC games/sims is the promise of SDK releases and eventual addons/mods created by freeware builders along with developer approval for such things with the passage of time (unfortunately for devs the items are sometimes in the bargain bin by then). PC games/sales really blossom when this happens. I'm not aware of any such thing happening for console games as far back as the Atari 2600.

Consoles are NO different to PCs, it just that the hardware is fixed so there is better control of bugs.

But games and the consoles get updated online just like PC's do.

My son's have had numerous consoles over the years and they have now moved to PC gaming, especially by eldest playing Skyrim, because it's a better experience.

I laugh everytime I read people saying "PC gaming is dead or dying", how do you think the console games are created in the first place? ON A PC

Well as far as gaming goes it is PC for me all the way, we have a PS3 at Home which is great for playing blueray movies but if you are interested in any sort of game that is more complexed than the usual twitch shooter console are useless. Game pads are just fine for kids hands but not adults. If playstation supported keyboard/mouse, proper hotas setups, and track IR then I would be more interested, but not with the present limitations!

The sad thing is that the PS3 actually supports keyboard and mouse perfectly fine but just about 99% of all games made do not support it. I only can recall 1 game that supported keyboard and mouse and that was Unreal tournament.

If all games would start to support the keyboard and mouse i would definitly start playing my PS3 alot more. i just dont get it.

True, it is getting that bad now that with a good deal of games for PC being ports, they are not even designed with a full suite of configurable controls, and you are expected to use an idiot game pad to play them. I gave up on operation flashpoint on PS3 for the sole reason of controllability, thank goodness for ARMA II C/O on PC!

I own a PS3 and play sports games, racing games, 3rd person action games (Red Dead Redemption, GTA, Assassins Creed, Batman) and party games on it. Sims, shooters and rpgs belong to the PC. So for any type of flight sim, I recommend the PC, of course.
