Originally by: Khors Because they just work. People no longer have the patience to troubleshoot for every second game you buy and install.
Seriously, I can't remember the last time I had to troubleshoot a game, let alone "every second game". With the exception of trying to run a few older games under W7 and having to figure out what needs to be done to run a 7-year old game on a 1-year old OS, I don't think I've had to troubleshoot a game since installing Windows XP back in 2001. You might wanna upgrade from that 386 or MacClassic or whatever you're using :P
And to the OP: I have an Xbox already so, yup, I'll be picking it up to try it out at the very least. .

The point is not that it's incredibly difficult problems, I have no problems fixing them, worst case scenario there's a workaround at the first google hit. However for many people this is too much work for some gameplay What I originally replied to was "why do so many people have consoles", and this is what I was referring to. Computer games many times need fixes that many people get tired of, like the "making 7 year old game work on a 1 year old OS" you refered to. On a console, the game is either made for your console or it isn't.
I would anyhow say computer gaming offers alot more what with mods and all.
I would agree on this last point, although i would be curious to hear what games you've had to troubleshoot in the last few years (without using my example). .
