The rant is barking up the wrong tree.

The reason why PC gaming isn't so hot in the west is thus:

PC required to do basic web surfing and office work.

  • Pentium 4 1.8 - P4 2.8Ghz
  • 512-1GB RAM
  • 80GB HDD
  • Integrated POS graphics
  • Windows XP

The PC required to play Crysis 2

  • Core 2 Duo 2.0Ghz
  • 2GB RAM
  • 80GB HDD
  • 8800GT graphics card
  • Windows XP

I know heaps of people with really really really old PCs who can't be arsed to upgrade them. Mentally its just easier to think 'console = games' than go through the multiple step process of figuring out a new computer purchase.

If this were facebook, i would like.
