Piracy is killing PC game sales. I do not see PC gaming ever coming back to match or surpass the growing popularity of console gaming.

PC games look much better than console games in terms of graphics due to the regular upgrades of PCs. PC gaming is elitist and you need to spend a lot of money to have the system that can run the latest PC games.

Most PC systems become obsolete within 4 years whereas consoles can last up to 10 years and still deliver good games.

 

First off, on the price, jsut no. You're wrong. Scan this forum and you will see why.

Your logic is absolutely horrible for the bolded however. My PC plays games designed for hardware 10 years ago, but guess what? It also plays games designed for today's hardware too! The PC that I made to be able to run BioShock very well, will be able o handle ALL games that come out for the PS3/Xbox 360 on the same level of graphics/AI/etc. At the same time, on lower settings, it will be able to play games that far surpass those as well, things that wouldn't run on a console without having it blow a fuse. Not to mention FPSes suck on consoles so they might start coming back to the PC (god I hope, I really like the genre and I don't wanna play UT2004 in 2020).

 

@cueil

I'll find out where you live for those SC things. And I agree Warcraft III is a better RTS than SC, but that just means SC is #2 not #1.

 

 

The balance on WC3 is no where near as close as SC, the hero system throws it off completely. Human = IMBA

SC is far too rigid. A probe will always do 5 dmg, a battlecruiser always 25. Without damage ranges you get seriously retarded strategies like the 2 ealots 1probe on a ramp defending against an entire zerg rush.

That rigidness and rock-paper-scissor aspect is what keeps it so balanced. In WC3 the fact they can do diff dmg each time is ridiculous and allows things that shouldn't happen to occasionally happen (more than you'd think). As for the probe / zealot thing, thats so easy to get around it isn't even an issue. A good zerg doesn't rush anyways lol seriously now.
