Nothing new being said here, just the same ole graphics = king one track, weak argument.

If his premise would have included FarmVille and Mafia Wars, then he would have had a pretty good point. He did not do it, instead he stuck with the same argument that PC devs have been asserting since the 1980s.

The sales numbers comparisons between PC vs. console gaming prove him wrong. If he is so right in graphics being integral at the point of purchase, then the PC gaming industry would dwarf console gaming. Instead, with the Wii having the most sold 1st party software whom many would argue is inferior in graphics output than either the PS3 or 360, graphics really don't matter as much as the gameplay.

Lump the total software sales of all three consoles together and PC gaming is not even close.

His mentality, frankly, is a rather stupid one. Graphics are everything durrrrr, graphics are everything durrrr, and because graphics are everything then PC gaming is 2 generations ahead durrrrr.

Good luck selling a title where you spend the bulk of your time on graphics. You could put in half the effort for a Crysis game between the PS3 and 360 and sell twice as much from the get go, then you ever would for the PC.
