That's right children! The first publicly sold video game was a console.
A CONSOLE!
Put on the market in 1972 and made by Magnavox, [url=http://a2.idata.over-blog.com/480x360/0/01/53/72/consoles-retro-2/magnavox-odyssey.jpg]The Oyssey was the first publicly sold video game system. [/url]
Despite what the trolls ( not everyone in the PC world are trolls, just the ones who sit on their high horse preaching PC is king) in the PC world say, consoles have always been here, been more popular and will ALWAYS be the majority in gaming.
The MAJORITY just want simplicity and fun. That's it. Consoles give them that. Plus, on a console all hardware is the same and the only thing you have to worry about now a days is an occasional lag switcher.
Just sayin.

Consoles and PC have their own pros and cons. Which one came first is irrelevant- dinosaurs came before us, but they're not so popular now in the steak houses. The simple fact that the pc has a plethora of mods available to almost all games gives it a supreme advantage over its console brethren IMO.
