I think consoles will be able to do good simulations very soon. Now if they just had decent programmers who could write a game in-depth enough to last more than a couple of weeks, LOL!
I know a few gamers that LOVE to upgrade. For some reason, swapping up for a new video card is the hilight of their day. Seriously. They’re like the “ricers” of the PC world.
Consoles don’t have enough inputs for really good sims. Maybe a USB HOTAS setup or input overlay, but not yet.
