That's not my point. I know it's simple to put a game in and play it, but I don't stress that it's for idiots. I'm saying that all consoles (not just XBox) actually work. They're made to play games. They play the games designed for them. PC's play games, but there's a lot of trouble with games half the time. You don't have to worry about system specs on a console. You don't have to worry about the wrong type of videocard. You don't get those lovely errors that simply make no sense. Consoles are made to play games, and that's what they do. PCs are made to run an operating system that is capable of hosting thousands of types of applications, including games. When you try to narrow down one specific field on a computer (such as gaming) it's simply going to have problems every now and then.
The fact that I can pick up a game for console and play it without worrying about the PC game problems is an advantage that consoles will have until PC games work on every type of PC flawlessly. Sorry if my point was previously unclear, this is all I was trying to get across.
