I don't know how I feel about consoles. There's lots of potential for PC gaming, but I don't think it'll take off in the way that it could until great games come out for the lowest common denominator. I had a pretty nice computer a few years ago that ran Skyrim really well, but this piece of junk I'm on now can barely run it on the lowest settings (like, characters basically have no faces).

Incidentally, my mom was saying the other day that she was kind of toying with the idea of getting an XBox One because she was interested in that Kinect thing and some dancing game or other, but when you tally up all the costs of getting a good TV (if you don't have one) plus the Kinect, plus the game, plus the console and all the services, it's like the same cost as buying a really sweet PC (or putting one together, as far as I know).

Anyway, if my mom is talking about getting into gaming, I'll take that as a benchmark that games really are starting to become the kind of immersive experiences that people are going to have a hard time denying as "art".
