I started out on consoles,getting a PS1 for a Christmas present in 99',had a lot of fun playing Spyro and Crash Bandicoot series,later moved on to the PS2 in 03' and was a fan of games like SOCOM,San Andreas,Ace Combat and the like,later bought a Xbox 360 a little over a year ago,but there was very few games on it i liked,the Community sucked,the games were overpriced,so when it RRoD'ed back in August,i didn't even play 360 ever again,last Christmas,i sold my PS2 + Several games for it to my cousins combined for $80.
First PC Game was Carnivores,a FPS game where you hunt down Dinosaurs,then later on i bought Sim City 3000,then later on i bought Blitzkrieg,the game that bought me into RTS/RTT,the following year i bought Rise of Nations Gold,getting me into RTS/RTT even more,and a couple years ago,i bought Rome: Total War,i like dthe game,but it,along with Empire Earth II,made me realize that i needed a better PC to play those games good,and to be able to play newer games like Medieval 2: Total War and even Crysis,so i began looking into building my own PC,however,to no real success since i couldn't afford it since i was (And still am) jobless,but eventually my parents bought me this Dell PC in my sig,and now i could actually play games,and thus,is my PC Gaming History up to now.
Personally,i consider consoles the home of JRPG's/Sports/Fighting game,and good for people who don't want to deal with the complexity/cost of PC,while PC is for people who like MMO's/RTS/FPS/Simulator games and the like and don't mind troubleshooting and the extra cost.
