Again. PC software sales market is blurred as the PC hardware sell. A pc which is purchased for office is sometimes is included as gaming hardware sale. This issue is debatle and this is why I have marked "revenue" as "proper".


Do you have anything to back up those sales claims? I've at-least provided something, otherwise I'll simply consider that as an opinion to be taken with a grain of salt.

This always gets me. I'd love to see that $600 rig run games 8 years from now in 1080p.


I would like to see a $600 console (Which is what the Next-Gen are priced around here in Aus) to play games from the past few decades and play games from other platforms, transcode video, do some word processing and other such tasks.

However, you can get a 6 year old Core 2 Quad Q6600 PC for around $200 second hand, overclock it to 3.6ghz and for another $200+, get a high-end GPU which is more than capable of maxing out the majority of games at 1080P (Or higher, 1440P!), heck such a system would probably be more than adequate for another few years yet.

You would also save money on games and online access, which actually makes the PC cheaper in the long run, even with hardware upgrades. - Significantly cheaper if you like to have a large games library.

To be honest, this thread is exactly why PC "Elitists" exist, everyone is allowed to hate on the platform, but no one is allowed to correct their false accusations, otherwise they are stereotyped.

You're full of it.

I spent over $1k on my gaming rig 3 years ago (and have spent more replacing parts that have broken), and I find your exagerrations grating. I can run everything, but nothing on max and certainly not with a stable frame rate. I think PC elitists exist because the internet gives very insecure people to form an hivemind.
