Actually, i've seen console fanboys make quite a lot of threads to declare PC gaming is dead. With every console generation.
Well alright, quite a few things have changed since then, like the Graphics. There wont be a graphical quantum leap like we experienced in the past with a new console generation. Graphics will no longer be the driving force.
Xbox 360 and PS3 have visuals so good that People wont fork over the money to buy a new console.
PCs that can be used for gaming are getting cheaper and cheaper. Today, you can buy Parts for a computer from ebay to build a computer that performs just as well as the PS3, even when the game you want to play is a rather bad port. Like GTA4. Look at actions for something equivalent to a 8800 geforce (didn't test it with radeon, sorry) and you'll have a PC that will play games faster then the PS3 can with the same resolution and the same graphical effects the PS3 can do. For less money. A good monitor costs less then a bad HDTV but you can hook up the PC to the TV if you want to.
except for Achievements, you can do pretty much everything with a PC that you can do with a console.
Well, motion controls aren't really there yet, but we have a wii for that.
So one of the Reasons to buy a console instead of the gaming has less and less meaning now and will vanish completely eventually, the Price.
Moving on: Stable, easy to access consoles and games.
I do hope kinect and Move are the only accessories that the big companies will throw out, other wise the consoles will lose that advantage. robust consoles where a thing of yesteryear. My gaming PC has actually less crashes then most consoles i know and it certainly wont break down like some consoles.
Once i install the PC and games on it, i can play most games by clicking on the icon once. I don't even have to lift my giant ass off my sofa to get the DVD.
PC gaming, once you got everything up and running, can be easier then console gaming.
granted, buying the parts, building the PC and installing OS and all the games, followed by noDVD patches is a big hassle.
But frankly, i'd rather built the thing myself. Should i rather microsoft or Sony who failed so badly? My own cooling system may be larger, but i can hardly hear it and it actually works.
So now i have a PC that can easily outrun any console, runs smoother and with less crashes then quite a lot of consoles (i don't know how many exactly, i didn't test that many consoles) and runs more silently then about half the Wiis i've seen.
It did cost quite a lot of money back then, but prices in the PC market are dropping faster then in the console market.
I mentioned ebay earlier. The reason for that is simple: if you want to build a PC that is "just" fast enough to do whatever PS3 and xbox 360 can do, you can't buy the components new anymore.
The Point being: PC gaming as it is today isn't dying. The PC isn't dying either since you can do anything with it, even build a smaller PC. Barebone cases aren't that large. Infact, my Copier is by far larger then most computers. Well, not mine since i don't like having just one tiny harddrive like in the consoles, i'd rather have six.
PC Gaming and the PC is far from death, since everyone still needs one, even if its just for open office. They are here to say for the time being, at least until someone invents holographic displays and haptic holographic interfaces and we're typing or otherwise conveying information to the machine.
And when you buy the cheapest PC now, you will have a machine fast enough to play modern games.
We have a lot of PCs capable of running modern games. Why buy a console if you already have a machine that can run World of Mass hero or whatever game you'd like to play? To be able to sit on the couch while playing? I do that already.
The consoles are easier to set up and if you don't want to build a PC, they're cheaper as well.
But i don't think *that* many people will abandon PC gaming altogether in favor of the consoles.
I paint a pretty bleak Picture of PC gaming: no more exclusives for PC, everyone develops for consoles and PC versions get thrown out later. But i don't see PC gaming dying yet, since you can save a couple of bucks here.
If the big Companies continue to put out consoles that wont last as long as my last PC because they buildquality is beyond bad (even the wii is guilty) i can even see people coming back to the PC again.
One might be annoyed about the late releases for PCs, but the wait isn't even half the time the game would need for bug fixing. It would be nice to get the releases earlier so that quite a lot of Coders can pick up the slack but i'm willing to wait. PC Gaming pretty much brought us bugs in games, now the consoles have them too.
I'll cut myself short here.
Moviebobs little rant was missing several Key Points and the arguments weren't substantial.
This Episode was useless.
