Lasereth is 100% correct. When C&C Generals came out I had to not only buy a $50 game but a $150 graphics card just to play it.
BTW: A couple of other Console Strengths: No hacks/mods. Everyone is on a level playing field. Compatibility: Everyone is playing the same version on the same system with the same specs. 99% of my online activity has gone off without a hitch.
Cons: No mods. Counterstrike was an excellent Mod that until recently was ONLY available on PC. Most good games are released first for PC, so console people have to wait.
All in all my PC still plays Strategy games and some new releases. However, my console is now FPS specific. I don't play and FPS games on my PC anymore.
