The PC is far more closely related to the Xbox 360 and PS3 than the Wii is. If you can boot up the exact same game on 2 different consoles, guess what? Those consoles are related. Both from a sales and gaming standpoint. I played through Bioshock on PC. My friend played through Bioshock on 360. It took both of us 20 hours. We both saw the same dialogue, fought the same big daddies, the same bosses, and the same plot. My version looked a little better, but it was the same game. Now comparing a Wii verison to a PS3 and 360 version is different, because the design of the game is actually different, but the HD consoles and the PC are absolutely in direct market competition. That said, it doesn't hurt Microsoft that most of the games they have on 360 are also on PC, because the PC is basically their platform as well. It does hurt 360 sales though. |
You know what. You're right. The Wii is too different. It should also be compared to no one elses line-up. I'll give you that. I was just in another topic yesturday, arguing about how Wii Sports was unjustly reviewed because reviewers don't know how to review Wii games as a Wii game. It doesn't help your point about PC gaming out any though. It just alienates the Wii.
