Well. Firstly, I believe the difference in console games and computer games is the multiplayer capability. Yes, computers have them also (of course!), but you need a LAN or an Internet connection. Consoles usually allow up to 4 players on one system, and that is what I go for mainly. Heck, I never said I was going to buy this, I said it looked cool to me since I am not a strategist. So, in comparison:

Consoles are for when you have 3 friends over and wish to play a game together.

Computers are for when you have no friends over, but wish to play a game with friends.

Just my opinion. I don't favor online consoling either. There should be a line that separates the two. That is too far. Sorry if I seem naive.

ALSO, to calm your fears, I also read that they are working on a Starcraft 2 for all of you, so don't worry Neb.
