New "core" console/handheld game announced => mentioned in the VGC news section => people are excited and discuss (not all, but many of) them in threads until and after release.
Upcoming PC games => mentioned ONCE a year in ONE thread about upcoming PC games => some people are excited about the list as a whole (and about the fact that PC gaming is still alive), while other people can't resist to tell the world that they've "never heard of 90% these games", that "only few look interesting", that they "don't like PC gaming anyway" or (my favourite) that "games xyz don't deserve to be on the list".
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.

Most of those same people are probably the ones who complain about viruses and how their windows breaks every 3 days and so on and so forth. In otherwords, they don't know shit about PCs, how to keep them running, or how to handle them. They are also afraid that the games that are on the PC are too complex for them to handle, too "hardcore." Gaming didn't boom until games started being dumbed down to a level where a 5 year old can play them and being released on something that a 5 year old can turn on.
The funniest thing of all is that those very same people whine about the Wii being stupid.
