I think DeGenerationX just trying to provoke peoples...
Or he is just so young or so far from undersatning informatics, so that it is a miracle he could wrote to this forum ..
DeGenerationX:
Pc is an universal platform.. not only for gameing... but if you have a PC you can use it to play games too... some cases it can emulate other platforms with much better quality[like 1600x1200], and with more possibility.. [save/load/or to find secrets..]
Just check a SNES emulator and you will see what a pc can do from old games.
This ps2 emulator will surely live even after the last ps2 will die.. and after that you will be able to play ps2 game, only with an emulator, like this one.
If you want only to play games [and only the new ones], then just use your ps2/ps3... or anything you like.. but if you want [for example] to write a game, these gameplatforms will be useless...
So.. as long as you want new games for your ps543, or xbox4325*720*p/e
the gamedevelopers [like me] will need pc's to do that ..
And next time try not argue much unknowingly with others...
A pc always can be more powerful than any game platform... true sometimes they are more expensive... but emulation [usually] need a much more powerful platform...
Like: you surely can speak much better than a lion .. maybe you can even emulate a few "word"s from other animals
still you are not good enought to perfectly emulate the lions speaking ... If you don't agree, than i woud watch you as you try to say to a hungry lion: "don't eat me.. i can buy much better food for you..."
