@mushi Because the scope of modern games requires that a lot of the data on the disk be stored highly compressed, and doing on the fly expansion of the compressed data would make load times unacceptably long or frequent.

@ceruleanspark @omni Why don't console gamers just switch to PCs?
Wednesday, 19-Dec-12 15:50:45 UTC from web-
@pony because many games are not avaliabe for computers

@mushi http://dolphin-emulator.com/ is for GC. I'm guessing if there's not one already a decent PS3 emulator should come out soon.;

@pony soon, why waiting to maybe play a game someday when i can simplyu play it now?

@mushi I guess hardcore gamers would find it quite appealing to have and play the lastest and best games. I've never been into that. The only new games I've been interested in for the last 10 years have been Pokemon Black and White

@mushi looks like there are already emulators for PS3 for Windows, but it could be a little while before they work as fast as an actual PS3 http://www.emucr.com/2012/06/rpcs3-svn-r42.html

@pony You need to run the game, which is made for another Operating System (and because you don't have the source code but only a compiler, you'll need to use JIT (Just-In-Time) something like WINE does) on top of a complete operating system. You probably knew this, but I felt like explaining that, just in case you would be wondering :P

@pony also, a gaming computer is more expensive the the 3 consoles of a generation, and need continuous upgrades. so there is no way i chage for computer

@pony Consoles are pretty much just pre-installed PCs with a specialized OS. There is one clear advantage to consoles, though: If you buy a game for a certain console, you don't have to check your specs, you can assume it will just work fine.

@omni For reference, see that wireframe spaceship game on the Virtual Boy. (Red Alarm, was it?)
