*copies and pastes personal opinion from other forum*
I've never been a big fan of console gaming, not so much because of the games available on it (and how they're only from commercial companies), but it's mostly been the gameplay. I mean, most of the time they're pretty comfortable, but I seriously can't see a reason to prefer a right analog stick to a mouse for shooters. Racing can also be a bit tricky to get used to. Not to mention the fact that it's basically impossible to mod console games or fiddle around with their resources (unless you get started with ROM/ISO hacking Tongue).
So while this looks like a good idea and all (allowing indie/homebrew games on a console is pretty big), I'm not getting too excited. Personally I think I'll stick with PC gaming for years to come.
