why don't you take a look at sales... with the exception of exceptional games and low end games things tend to be pirated at a high rate. |
You are doing the same mistake as many developers and publishers did when they looked at PC gaming. Don't think about pirates! Most of them won't buy games, so why are you even watching them?
When EA looked at piracy and then decided to fight piracy, they added DRM real costumers didn't want, and instead of helping it probably hurt their sales. Now after failures, EA now knows what PC gaming is all about and how to be successful on it.
EA and all the other publishers are giving support to PC more than ever, while consoles are losing support: http://kotaku.com/5241554/ea-showed-more-love-to-pc-and-ds-last-year
And how about we take a look at sales why don't we... in 2007 retail sales were only 30% of PC gaming's revenue. Digital Distribution services like Steam and Gamersgate grew 100% last year, China's Online Gaming grew over 75%, etc...
There are reasons why so many analysts think there won't be more than 1 console generation after the one currently.
