I'm certainly not on a mission like shio and I won't ever claim that all upcoming PC games will be brilliant - in fact only very few will be polished gems and/or successes, as the worldwide development money put into PC gaming is clearly in a decline. Also, I'm aware since the day I joined VGC that this site is extremely console centric by default, but sometimes I don't understand why some of us are forced to defend PC gaming in nearly every of the few interesting PC gaming threads on VGC.

Or, in short:
I still don't understand when and why many NA gamers started to hate PC gaming and to treat it as a threat instead of an option.

The development money spent on PC games are not declining... It is infact probably increasing faster than consoles. We are now seeing japanese publishers releasing loads of games to PC.

Konami - Metal Gear Rising

Square Enix - has been releasing more PC games recently than Xbox 360 or PS3 games.

Capcom - Pretty much all HD console games are now coming to PC with superior versions.

Sega - All their best games are now on PC. And if it weren't for the success of the Football Manager and Total War series, they'd be in even bigger deep shit than they are now.

 

As for the NA hating PC gaming, it might be because they think PC gaming is a true threat to consoles, which may very well be.
