Kinect Man Says "Hardly Anyone" Plays PC Shooters Anymore

Look I know a lot of people are going to ***** but he's right. Sort of. Sure there are a lot of people still playing fps's on Pc's. That said consoles out sell them 90% of the time on multi-platform games. There wouldn't be all this talk of "PC GAMING IS NOT DEAD!" if there wasn't the sense that it was headed in that direction. And of course since every platform has fanboys I'll imagine the previous ten pages are filled with elegant discourse about how incorrect he is mixed with the occasional frothing rant or barely legible monosyllabic blurt vaguely resembling a stream of obscenities, but there's a reason all the big studio development these days seems to be for consoles. And I say this even as I'm playing civ 5 as we speak.
....Wow, great PR there Microsoft. Plus, you shouldn't cut PC shooters that much since YOU MAKE WINDOWS!
Drawing core gamers from Windows to Kinect (if that even happens) probably will only be a minor success. I don't see the core being where Kinect will be a major success...
(plus I still find motion-controls to be questionable at best, but I haven't really experience Kinect yet...)

I doubt that, they may be playing some games more but considering the mass FPS library PC has from the past and all the games are still played in one form another I don't see it. If you said most newer cross platform FPS titles are played on console then I would agree with you, even then there are exceptions.dathwampeer said:
Maybe he means hardly anyone plays halo or gears of war on the PC.. in which case I'd agree with him, but add that that says more about those games than anything else..
Considering that he's looking at the world through microsoft blinders, it would make sense.
Especially if, for example, he did no real work or research on his own and just pulled statistics from say, the Xbox live #s for their console gamers, then tried to compare it to their Games for Microsoft Network #s.
Sounds like someone just skewing the numbers for a favorable plug via his company's stance.
in other news, I'd love to kick this guy in the nuts.
