    See the difference doesnt take a genius to figure it out.

    EDIT 2: TO show im totally right.

    Infact ill make it easier for you.

    I just wish people would use common sense to figure things out.

    Or do I need to show more examples to prove what I am saying?



    Sounds pretty damn condescending if you ask me.

    Shall we look at your previous posts shall we for condescending posts?

    Here is the bottom line, im fed up with people who give out misinformation. Its a joke.

    Although you agreed with Dhampy, that proves you didnt look into it more, with 2 examples I blew it out the water with the correct information.

    You are misinforming people in your insistence that Macs are not PCs.
    In the end they will lay their freedom at our feet and say to us, 'Make us your slaves, but feed us.'

    Go ahead. Find one single thing that I have said to offend you. I will admit I was wrong.

    We were making a generalization about the industry for the sake of the argument. You came in and started blurting out crap that had nothing to do with the conversation.

    If MAC's in the software market is PC's as Dhampy and others think.

    How would a MAC owner know what to buy when everything is PC CD-ROM/DVD-ROM. Exactly.

    Yes, yes, we all know you're some great computer genius who's made all these games and own your own business and blah blah blah. Unfortunately, your argument is irrelevant.

    The discussion is about "PC's" vs "Consoles". Not "Windows" vs "MacOS" vs "PS3" vs "Xbox360" vs "Wii".

    You cannot separate one half of the argument and not the other.

    Also, your "OMG OMG MACS ARE SOOOOO DIFFERENT" point has been wrong for quite some time now. Retail Mac computers are sold with Windows pre-installed. So, no one has to worry. People who buy a Mac do indeed know that they have to find ones labeled "PC DVD-ROM".

    And also "PC" is an acronym, so is capitalized. Whereas "Mac" is merely a shortening of "Macintosh", and is not capitalized.

    Until you made a point that Diablo 3 and Starcraft 2 is PC only.

    Then it was open for discussion.

    MAC's use emulation for a windows environment, its not the same.

    Just like PS2's and XBOX's can emulate previous consoles from years before, doesnt make them N64's etc.

    And since you went the route of the first sentence in your last reply.. Heres one for you..

    If your gonna spout out information... get it right, instead of getting it wrong.. Its embarrassing.

    Yes, PC only. Not Windows only.

    And now you're splitting your argument down even further in desperation.

    Omg are you really that naive? do you lack common sense.

    But sorry you must do.

    Let me put it simply again.

    Windows PC's in the software market are listed as PC's always have and always will. The only reason MS publish games with Games for Windows is for a marketing ploy. Its still a PC game.

    MAC games are MAC games, always will and always has been. Nothing is gonna change that.


    Hardware they are both PC's. Even that is changing and MAC's are becoming more known as MAC's over a PC name. As most due to the software side associate Window OS PC's as PC's.

    Right this confirms your not reading anything.

    And ill put in caps again for you to understand, shall I do it in Sesame Street language too?

    In the SOFTWARE market MAC's are MAC's and PC's are PC's

    In the HARDWARE market both PC's and MAC's are PC's.

    READ WHAT IS SAID, and dont bend what I said, as I never once said on the hardware side that MAC's are not PC's.

    How about we try to simplify it for you? Hmm?

    PC stands for Personal Computer. Are you following along so far? (Yeah, that was condescending, but you can't honestly tell me you didn't deserve it.)

    Macs are used at people's homes, correct? Then they fall under the umbrella of Personal Computers.

    Now can we get back on topic before all 3 of us get modded?

    Wow, dude. You really didn't read the thread, did you.

    You continue to try to draw an irrelevant distinction.

    I shall use all caps and bold so maybe, just maybe, you read it.

    THE THREAD IS ABOUT "PC" VS "CONSOLES". YOU ARE DRAWING A DISTINCTION BETWEEN TWO OS'S WHICH ARE BOTH USED ON PERSONAL COMPUTERS. BOTH WINDOWS AND MACOS VERSIONS OF A GAME ARE BOTH ON PERSONAL COMPUTERS, JUST AS THE XBOX360 AND PS3 VERSION OF A GAME ARE BOTH RUN ON CONSOLES. YOUR DISTINCTION IS IRRELEVANT TO THE DISCUSSION, REGARDLESS OF HOW STRENUOUSLY YOU ARGUE YOUR IRRELEVANCY.

    TO GIVE A PARALLEL TO HELP YOU SEPARATE YOURSELF FROM YOUR IRRELEVANCY: IN A DISCUSSION OF SEDANS VS SUVS YOU ARE ARGUING THAT THE TOYOTA COROLLA AND THE CHEVY MALIBU SHOULD BE CONSIDERED SEPARATE.

    In the end they will lay their freedom at our feet and say to us, 'Make us your slaves, but feed us.'

    Look at the post above you.

    Read it.

    Its amazing how people dont read things and then throw out garbage.

    READ READ READ READ.

    Again I will repeat since its hard for people to read so many posts back.

    Not ONCE did I say the hardware side for MAC's are not PC's.

    I said the SOFTWARE side of MAC's are still MAC's.

    There is a DIFFERENCE.
