And if I say, "Can you acknowledge that consoles provide enough horsepower now for people that it renders PC gaming as not relevant?" Would you acknowledge that? You argument that somehow Ontario is the end all and be all for gaming, is pushing it. For you to stand on that is to say there isn't a need for any updating of graphics at all on a PC. And then I could say, "well then why bother with that over consoles?" I don't get the same level of headaches with consoles as I do with PC gaming, and it works. |
Yes, I agree with your statement. I'm no defender of PCs. PC and console graphics have stalled because they are good enough and because it provides poor investment value for companies to go further, and consoles are much easier to use.
I see the PC games market stagnating over the next few years: not growing, and financial success being increasingly limited to the big-budget 'AAA' titles. The console market is healthier. All Ontario etc. means is that OnLive, after a time, won't be able to source customers from those who don't have a PC good enough to game. I don't believe OnLive can attract new customers to PC gaming either, because consoles are still more accessible.
Where do you see OnLive's sales coming from though? Existing PC gamers? Console gamers? Non-gamers?
