Will Vista's interopability with the X360 hurt the quality of PC games??

will Vista, with the way all Vista games have to work "flawlessly" with the X360 controller and the way that Vista can connect to Xbox Live and play online with X360 games degrade the quality of PC games and make them more like console games?

This trend has been developing for about three years. It was not so good when the console was much less powerful than the PC but that gap has narrowed a lot now. Indeed, consoles are ahead in a couple of areas now - HD resolutions and surround sound (still absent or poorly implemented in a lot of PC games).

I think the console will ultimately kill the PC as a gaming platform. And I don't think this is a bad thing. Because it will mean that all those Linux users/Windows gamers can finally say goodbye to Windows. For good.

I disagree. I believe that the consoles are becoming more and more like PCs and that PC gaming is what the future will be. Still of course there will be specialized comps such as tablets and pocketPCs that will not be game worthy, but households will have a PC as their home info and productivity center, and also another PC that is mostly for gaming.

I mean think about it. The consoles are looking more and more like PCs. We can now surf the net, browse pics, vids, plan crap, and communicate with each other just like we have been able to do on the PC all along.

Also people are becoming more tech savvy all the time and the complexities of the PC that sometimes intimidate people are becoming fewer an fewer.

I believe PCs are the way of the future. Consoles will be obsolete. Except the DS and the Wii :lolflag: .
