"I think there is a difference between PC and console players but there's overlap as well," said Heath, in an interview with Gamesindustry.biz. "Our view long term is that people who have traditionally only played on PC will actually now start transitioning to PS3. Once they figure out what PS3 does, I think that take-up will get greater and greater." |
PC Gamers are generally not the type of gamer that console makers want to have. They expect cheap software (mostly pirated) and want something that performs as well as a keyboard and mouse. I don't see the PS3 filling the PC void very well. PC Gamers will continue being PC gamers and may choose a console based on their software preference. If it happens to be the PS3... well that has nothing to do with any link between the two hardware devices.
As a long time FPS player on the PC, the best FPS controls are currently (that are most like a mouse and keyboard) in MP3. I'm really enjoying what Retro did with these controls. If other games like RTS's, MMO's and more FPS's come to the Wii... I could see a lot of mouse and keyboard fans feeling more at home on the Wii. Which may or may not be a good thing for Nintendo. I can't see too many PC fans wanting 360's due to controls, live subscriptions, high game prices, same games you can get on the PC etc. But who knows I guess?
Prepare for termination! It is the only logical thing to do, for I am only loyal to Megatron.
