With the Playstation, consumers chose another console. With Windows, you are simply forced to buy it, unless you just want a netbook. Advanced users need Windows for gaming, if nothing else. |
Ah but as many many people have pointed out, PC gaming is 'niche' :P
To be honest I don't think Google pose a significant threat to MS in the OS market currently, but even if they achieve a success story similiar to Apple/Firefox and grab a small share of the pie I'll be happy. MS needs competition like any other business to keep itself sharp. Just look at what happened to the Xbox-360 transition, (with regards to service and software, not initial crappy hardware) without Sony, that would have never been the case.
