PC gaming directly effects console gaming, and vice versa. As Naz pointed out, the PC's strong presence in the EU is probably one of the reasons why the 360 has struggled to keep up with the ps3 in the region.

I'm an American, but I'm an example of this (as is Naz, and many other people on this website). I own a PC, ps3, and Wii. I can get most of the 360's games I want on another platform, thus I won't buy one, and likely will not buy one at all this gen. I can get Mass Effect, Gears, and Bioshock on PC (and the same will probably hold true for Halo 3, Gears 2, etc.), and games like Eternal Sonata and Enchanted Arms (and likely Tales of Vesperia) eventually make their way over to the ps3.  Games going to other platforms, PC or otherwise, does effect sales.

Saying the PC doesn't count because "it's a different market" is the stupid line HD console fanboys were using to discount the Wii last year. "It's a different market." No, it's not. It's a single market, the video game market, and each platform directly effects the others.

 

Great points, but this guy just doesnt want to admit that all these exclusives arent exclusive at all. I only bought my 360 because my friends dont have computers that can run the games that go multiplat between PC/360. If they did I would never had bought it and just played with them on the PC.

Whats the point? Everything big for the system comes out on my PC, and its typically better on it.



I own all three current consoles and a great gaming rig, now thats out of the way.

"Why post something like this when all it will get is PS3 owners blinded to reality replying? BOTH THE PS3 AND BLUE-RAY WILL NOT LAST 3 YEARS! TECHNOLOGY CHANGED TOO FAST!"

"is it Wii FIt that has sold as many as PS3's sold? Thats a LOL Look at the total sales of software is it just me that sees Nintendo titles hitting 10m+ and you say they arent making a difference? Another LOL!"

"Hell, with all the negative hype Sony spin, people just aren't interested cost is too high and to get the true HD experience (1080p, 7.1 surround) you will need a $1000+ system. THAT IS GOING TO DO IT IN A RECESSION! PS4 will not happen"
