Technical aspects of a game are one thing but can you honestly say that the PC market was thriving back then in the late 90's ? PC was losing shelf space and that makes it clear that PC's used to be of lower quality experience than consoles back in the day. |
Up until about 99... sure?
Late 90's sure. A drop didn't happen until 2000. Coincidentally around the time MMORPG's starting blowing up, making retail less important.
Also right around the time digital started being seen as a viable market. (Though small at the time).
Steam debuted all the way back in 2003.
PC Retail continues to drop... as retail becomes more and more irrelevent.
Gameplay quality wise... the best games on PC aren't on consoles if you ask me... and as I imagine most PC gamers would agree, based on revenue generation of big franchises.
If we use your metric of money... League of Legends, WoW, Dota 2, Civilization. The big PC revenue makes COD look lame by comparison.
Which your revenue based arguement seems to argue is the pinacle of console gaming.
That's not even getting into the casual juggernauts.
