For many years the PC gaming market was always considered the ELITE way too play your games. The PC gaming market always had the advantages in terms of going online gaming, upgradable systems, higher resolutions and more. The years of Playstation 2 and Xbox 1 was the beginning of the PC gaming market decline and the rise of the console take over why? because slowly and shortly PC gaming advantages started to disappear.
It started with Playstation 2 with the ability to play DVD movies, consoles started gearing up to be more like entertainment boxes for your living room and at that point the gaming market overall really opened up. The Xbox 1 following the introduction of DVD’s built-in a console they also capitalized even stronger featuring a full fledge harddrive in every system and the creation of true console online gaming in the form of XBOX LIVE.
These two factors that was introduced to console gaming was also the beginning of another revelation and that’s the decline in the PC gaming market. PC has great advantages Online, Harddrive , and multimedia but those were all acquired by consoles with the combination of Playstation 2 and Xbox 1. PC gaming slowly started getting exploited by these console competitors and the worst to come for PC’s happened in 2005/6 with the launch of Xbox360 and the Playstation 3.
The only advantages that PC gaming have now is the open network of development because of customizable machines which keeps PC’s at a maximum performance setting but the catch is the price you pay for that customizable machine with the maximum setting in which brings PC gaming almost to a complete halt why? because PRICE is always a factor and in this situation PC Gaming will soon be such a small market that dreamcast may pop in your mind in terms of results.
Sony Playstation 3 is $299 and you can receive graphic quality of this nature along with blu-ray playback, wi-fi, harddrive, internet, online gaming, media servers, and a more sophisticated library of games including exclusives.
This video clip alone shows that Heavy Rain’s graphic quality is on par if not better than anything out there including PC. The best looking PC game ever is Crysis and Crysis at maximum settings compared to Heavy Rain is at the same level or higher in favor of the Cell Processored Heavy Rain.
CRYSIS IMAGE
This is the nail in the coffin because crysis at it’s highest settings, the money you will spend on that type of machine will easily be anywhere from one thousand dollars and up whereas the Playstation 3 is $299 and that fact alone during this entire generation cycle. Sony along with Microsoft will destroy the PC gaming business even further, will it die NO! it won’t but it will surely be crippled. Heavy Rain says it all and that Sony exclusive alone is proof that Playstation 3 is the future.
