Not just demanding, but there is often ambiguities in what games would run on what kind of system, and sometimes it isn't enough to judge by the graphics alone (Take for example HL2, whose graphics are still on par with the graphics used today, was released 8 years ago, thus it requires less system requirements than games today would).

Consoles have a disadvantage in that you are stuck with the console with no ways to upgrade it or modify it (without breaking the warranty on it) beyond increasing hard drive spaces, and as far as I can gather, save games wrecks havoc on consoles (something that doesn't exist or at least in nowhere near the scale on PC).

But, consoles have a very big advantage that gamers care about: Price of a console is usually much less than a PC of similar power (or if it is even possible to buy a PC with similar power), and that one thing console pretty much guarentees is that if it is labeled to work with the console, it WILL work, regardless how old that console is (Such as an xbox 3 years ago would be much the same as xbox now, PC fat chance). It is also FAR less tedious to get a xbox up and running and maintaining it than it is for PC (which have system crashes, virus, trojans etc to contend with), and your average gamer, chance are, won't have adequate knowledge to maintain the PC, and PC's power will decrease over time.

Which is why Consoles are so popular, you can be a hardcore gamer without knowing how to power on a PC.

PC however have 1 big advantage: they aren't just for games, they can be used for myriad of things (watching TV, recording TV, etc) and most of the time all it requires are simple software installs (unlike TV where you pratically have to buy a box for everything), and easily clutters up your living room. Also, some games simply isn't practical to play on a console unless you have a keyboard and mouse, RTS being one of them. And this one is for Geeks: Retrogaming is a LOT easier on PC than it is on consoles, especially for the really old games like NES/SNES/Sega etc.
