Graphics aren't everything. PC gaming may be declining... for now! But so is the PS2/Xbox-style console gaming.
Also Blizzard will always make sure PC has the best exclusives, regardless of power. It's all about the games. |
PC gaming isn't declining. Infact, it's probably the only market that's rising in the middle of a recession...
|
pfft. PC Gaming of old is declining. The only gaming on PC that is growing today is online mini-games.
|
Steam grew 97% in the last 12 months......http://au.games.ign.com/articles/100/1007615p1.html

More people are buying stuff online. Woop-die-doo. More of your irrelevant and speculative proof I see.

I am a PC gamer. I am a member of a very large PC related forum (even a moderator there) and get 2 PC gaming magazines. PC gaming is definitely on the decline from it's glory days back in the late 90's early 00's.

What the hell are you talking about?! All Top 10 selling games on Steam last week were hardcore games:
#1 - Left 4 Dead
#2 - Aion™Collector's Edition Pre-Sale
#3 - Counter-Strike: Source
#4 - Killing Floor
#5 - Team Fortress 2
#6 - Fallout Collection
#7 - The Orange Box
#8 - Hearts of Iron III
#9 - Valve Complete Pack
#10 - 1701 A.D. Gold Edition
They are NOT online mini-games. It seems you are unable to understand that the traditional retail market is shifting to digital AND growing handsomely.
|
It is shifting to digital, but not growing. And I meant browser based games, not steam mini-games. You seem to have a hard time thinking things through considering it took you 2 replies to even notice that....
More and more PC gamers are choosing digital over store bought, but the overall number of gamers playing these games and the overall sales of these games is declining from the sales and numbers of the past. The only thing still climbing today is browser mini games and the like.
|
Dude, the traditional market IS growing, several reports have already supported that! Infact, it is growing well DESPITE the retail market declining. It seems you are just ignorant of the great age of PC gaming we are in.

Thanks for linking articles that specifically prove my point. Online gaming is growing (online browser based games and MMO's mostly) and PC gaming in general is declining. We are in one of the worst ages of PC gaming where all big title PC games sell well below expectations and the only thing still popular in gaming on PC today is MMO's and online broswer based games.
So I guess next time you should read the articles before you post them, since the specifically talk about the big titles seeing poor sales, retail sales dropping tremendously (mostly due to online sales/digital sales), and lack of any big games coming out anymore on PC.
You and Shio need to wake up and realize that PC gaming is not improving and is being ruined by the rampant pirating.
