vlad - What's ignorant about your statement is you boast that old PC games are selling so well - but totally ignore the fact that new games are tanking, or underperforming against ancient titles.

The biggest PC game this year, Spore, has sold far less than any one of the big console titles for any of the 3 major systems.

Oh hey! Guess what? Old console games sell well too - did you ever notice that Super Mario Bros. on Virtual Console sells thousands of copies a week? How about the 50th remake of Street Fighter 2?

The issue is that we don't have all the PC data available, because it's so fragmented, thus makes an impossible argument. PC owners argue 'oh, game X and Y are still selling years after their debut!' but offer virtually no tangible evidence other than sales rankings at Steam or Gamersgate. Such arguments are about as useless and stupid as VGC-ers posting Amazon data as 'proof' a niche game is doing well since we only have rankings, and not hard-copied sales numbers.



Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
