| Killiana1a said: I have a contrarian thought, if this economic recession continues for another 2 plus years, then we may see the PC market downsize even further. Think about it. PC gaming is the most expensive platform to game. The entry point is a PC costing at least $1200 and higher if you want to play the latest, greatest FPS at maximum resolution settings. Computer technology gets better year after year along with getting more expensive, therefore how can one expect long term increases in the PC market in the midst of a global economic downturn when consumers just do not have that extra $1000 to blow in upgrading their PC or getting a new one? As for consoles, year over year fluctuates, but it is a fairly stable market because of the low entry point for the individual consumer. |

This doesn't support what you say. The average PC gamer uses what you'd consider to be a pretty average PC to game on, especially given the fact that a lot of legacy software which can run on any old PC is sold.
