I work full time. When the time came to buy a video game system, it was cheaper, faster and easier to just buy a console. I honestly don’t have the time or energy to build a gaming PC these days.
As for why I bought a 360 over a PS3, it’s because all my friends had a 360 and I wanted to play online with them. I’m also glad I went with the 360 because I like a lot of the exclusive titles.
And why on earth would I want to browse the internet on a console?
