In 2003, 2004 and 2005 you could buy a $400 PC which was far more powerful than the PS2 and yet people continued to buy a far weaker system to play games on; the only people who are big into PC gaming are "Hard-Core" gamers who want the better Graphics, AI, Physics and Online Community and the super causal market who play flash games because they are fun, free and readily available.
The things people claim "Will drive sales for the PS3" have never driven people to get into PC gaming which has excelled at them since the mid 90's.
You do realise a 600$ computer today, can NOT run a game that looks as good as FF12... right?
EDIT: wanna find me a 130$ computer better than that trusty old PS2?
EDIT2: You do know that a 350$ computer... can NOT run Doom3. (a 2.5 year old game)
EDIT3: You do know that a 8800GTX has quite a bit more power than the RSX on the PS3. PCs are already faster than a PS3.
Where do you shop? The gold plated PC store?
Doom 3 Requirements
id Software (Todd Hollenshead specifically) have finally spoken and have revealed the official minimum requirements these are:
Minimum:
P4 1.5Ghz CPU (or equivalent).
384MB of RAM.
64MB graphics card (see below for chip details).
2GB of free hard drive space.
Lowest supported GPU is a Geforce 4 MX (worse than Geforce 3).
Supported cards:
GF 4 MX.
GF 3.
GF 4.
GF FX (and higher).
Radeon 8500s, 9000s and higher.
PC Gamer were the first to review they themselves recommend:
2Ghz CPU.
512MB RAM.
Radeon 9800.
5-channel sound card and speakers.
If you look at games which are already available for the PS3 and PC (Oblivion, Fear) the PC version has more effects, a higher resolution and several times the frame rate; your high end PCs are way more powerful than a PS3 and in 2 years an entry level PC will be more powerful than a PS3.
