is it worth having a good gaming pc and a console? How many of you have both of them? Why?

I am considering buying a cheap used xbox360 to play some exclusives (Bayonetta, Rise of Tomb Raider 2015, etc)

What do you think?

PC, PS3, and PS4. I think I have a Dreamcast floating around somewhere and I recently gave a Saturn to a friend. I love computer games, and technology and so tend to enjoy a bit of everything. I never understood the whole 'PC Master race' or fanboyism that seems to revolve around gaming.

To me it's like riding motorbikes. It doesn't matter what you ride, just ride.

My kids also have PSPs, and the consoles are really theirs. We're mostly a PC family, but it's always fun to fire up the console for some family fun.

First and last console I owned was the PS2. I grew up playing COLECO and all the SEGA consoles, but they were my brothers'. 2005 is when i discovered the joys of PC gaming, haven't gone back.

I have a PS2, Dreamcast and Megadrive but haven't used them in years.

Was almost console only up until I lost interest in gaming in the early-mid 2000s. From then on I got Football manager/Championship Manager games on PC, and got a few FIFA games on PS2 but that was it. When Skyrim came out I needed a new laptop at the time so I got one that could play that as I liked the look of it. That was the game that brought me back into gaming and I've stuck exclusively with PC since then. I bought my first desktop capable of deceent gaming just before Christmas last year.

I'm very happy with just PC for now.

Long time ago,i was with Steam account for CS only,so i bought X360. I love this,i have now only all Kinect games/RB3+all DLC+all instruments(except those 'real' guitars for RB3 and that plastic shi...y drum kit...got full ION Drum Kit with real drum pedal:D) but when i change my work,i get more money,so i started buying games on Steam. Since then,i use my X360 occasionally(do you know,that drinking,then trying to play Rock Band in full party could be REALLY funny:P?),i prefer PC-ive got same games i love(except RB...and Gears of War-but i could live without it),the graphic is really awsome(better than X360) and-i could use pad/mouse+keyboard:) also-everything is in one place,could check www/mail when im dead in CSGO:) i never gonna sell my X360(cause of that crazymegahiperultraubershi..y stuff i bought only for party),but im gonna use Steam instead for every-day playing;)

I've actually been using a Vita as my primary gaming device recently, just out of convenience (ability to play right before going to bed). Been so busy that I haven't had the time to play my PC games. But, while the PC is my main gaming source, I have a Vita, PS3, Wii, DS, GameCube (x2), PS2, and N64. The Sony and Ninentdo systems have several nice exclusives I enjoy, so they supplement my PC very well. Admittedly, I don't have a Microsoft system, simply because the exclusives haven't stood out enough. I imagine I would have a 360 if I didn't have a gaming PC, though.

Owner of PS3, a gaming PC and NES, also I'm planning on buyng PS4 for Kingdom Hearts 3 and Bloodborne. For me, exlusives are the only reason to own a console, all my friends play on PC and if I have a PC that can run, for example the new Metal Gear Solid game on higher settings and FPS than a PS3/PS4, why wouldn't I use that PC? It's also handy when your controller can be used for both PC and PS3 gaming needs.

I have PC and PS3 but I barely ever play on PS3. I mostly use it for Bluray tv series. I am interested in some of the exlusives and I have a few games but I have so many games on PC that I haven't got time for the akward controller.

PC, PS4, PS3.
there's a lot of games you miss out on if you game exclusively on one system whether it's a PC or console.
sometimes I just wanna sit back on the couch and play something while there's nothing quite like playing an FPS with a mouse and KB.

I have a workstation PC that can also do decent gaming (will upgrade graphics card soon), an RROD 360 console that I fixed twice before it went kaput, and a PS3 that is gathering dust.

The only times I plan on using my PS3 again are when I play fighting games online (since the community size on steam is abysmal) and exclusives like the "Tales of" series.

I don't own a PS4 or the Wii / Wii U but I do own the Xbox 360 and One with the PS3.

As for the PC, I have a laptop that can only play decent games, planning on buying an awesome desktop PC for gaming.

I have a PC plus a Xbox 360, PS3, Vita and 3DS. I think it's worth it because there are definitely enough exclusives to make me happy. Also some games that lack achievements on PC have them on 360 or PS3 and I love achievements so I'll often buy those on whichever console has the best prices (or if digital only, on the 360 since it has the larger hard drive).
