Actually PC Gaming is growing, by some estimates faster than any other platform.
Even the CEO of EA acknowledges this.
"One of the things we try to look at at EA is the total business represented on PC game software, and we're seeing a growth in business there. It's been growing for several years," Riccitello said during a financial conference call yesterday.
"It's just been categorized wrongly by looking simply at the box side of the equation, he added. "The fastest growing [sector] is subscription, microtransactions-based and casual games, many of which are pretty much centered on the PC."
And no matter how bad you think the retail box sales are, the fact is most of the best console games including Bioshock, Orange Box, Assassin's Creed, Mass Effect, CoD 4, GTA 4, DMC 4, Oblivion, and when it comes out, FF XIII, and every other multiplatform title is on PC, with higher res and more detail.
For PC owners, PS3 and 360 offer very little in terms of games. Wii, on the other hand, has more exclusives than I can count, including more AAA games unavailable to PC owners than any other console. So like I said, if not for Wii, then there's no reason for me to own a console this gen.
