Do you believe PC Gaming is dying?

I think it'll take another hit next generation when the remaining genres that are currently dominant on PC start to take hold on consoles.

I also think PCs as we know them are on their way out. Consoles in my opinion are going to be the devices that will bridge television, telephones, computers, and the internet simply because they're easier to use.  I guess what I'm trying to say is that it won't just be PC gaming that will die, it'll be the PC itself as we know it.

Here is your problem. PCs initially didn't have internet or anything they have right now. They were literally just liek consoles, but meant for computation. As time went on they got things like upgradeable hardware and internt and stuff. What you told me isn't the end of PCs, but the end of consoles. They will reach a point where they will have everything that a PC has, except the ability to upgrade and the ability as an open platform.

Also you don't seem to realize that the PC will never die because it does EVERYTHING (unlike that hilarious PS3 slogan, lawl). It handles the entire economy, it is the tool of several of the best jobs in the world, it is something that dwarves the abilities of consoles. Back in the day consoles had nothing to do with a PC, up until this generatioin, now you have 1 console, and 2 half-assed PCs (with the half-assed software to go along with it). The way things are going, the consoles will kill themselves off. If they try to go directly against what a PC does instead of a small part of it (gaming, and they are failing at that), the consoles will be ruined and everyone will be happy. Especially Nintendo because they wouldn't be so stupid as to do that.
