If graphics really mattered why do console game sales consistently beat PC game sales?

Inb4 piracy.

As far as i can see, Nintendo has taught itself valuable lessons in terms of controls (wiimotes and ipad/phone) and consumer expectations (priority of high definition screens, 3D in TV's, internet access, multimedia popularity), in order to offer the consumer a cheap innovative method to play games (and IF they want use other services, but in no way is this a priority for system resources).

If you genuinely believe that today, in our current economic climate, the cheaper console won't ultimately win out in the gen.8 race, you're seriously mistaken. Past generations clearly have taught you nothing.

As for that gaf thread, I agree with the sentiment that Nintendo still have 6 months to switch whatever graphics card they want in the machine and, as mentioned above, as long as this is a game machine first, and everything else second, it will easily be enough to keep consumers interested for a few years.

Console are convenient, you chuck the game in and expect it to work.  PCs require bigger specs to run the games. people cannot afford the price to justfy it (PS3 was proof of that). If a PC was as cheap as a console, come with a controller (yes you can buy them seperate but regular people want convenience) and it was plug and play more (i know people who struggle to get controllers and install software) people would use PCs.

So you want companies to go bankrupt? Because if you're expecting current pc equivalent tech. in the Wii U, Nintendo will go bankrupt.

Watch Sony.
