Even I got nice arcade stick, couple of nice game pads on my PC, play station USB converter, it is nice and comfy sit in the living room with couple of the friends and play some old games on the TV.

You can add nostalgia to that, too. k:

And still I did not say that there is nothing wrong with emulating, but also nothing wrong with using real thing.

I created separate topic on emulation, and lets this one be hardware only topic.

Why is it that so many people want a console? The controls are clumsy the graphics are oudated the moment the console hits the streets and to top it all of a PC is so much more versatile.
Is it that you (console owners in general) find it more convenient? Is it more of a group activity?

Generally when you play game on console, you are playing in comfort of living room, which is nice.

Another nice feature of console is that you don't care about comp ability issues, or is your console fast enough to play title, does it play in this version of windows, this service pack... Console made playing of the game simple turn on and play.

And I would not say that graphics are outdated, and don't know how did you get that impression.

I don't own any consoles that I really use (I have a PSone but I don't use it much) but when I'm at a party round a friend's house consoles are more ideal for playing as a group and is more convenient (no installing or anything, you can bring a game round a friend's hous and play it without having to install, also on that issue, you do not have to worry that a game will not work becuas eof RAM, processer etc.). For playing games in small groups and at parties consoles are ideal, they're also cheaper.
