@Bold That's a fairly bold claim your making but it's kinda contradictory. LOL Yes there is a lower population in Japan but the thing that keeps me from believing that there is a fairly sizeable base has to do with the fact that not a whole lot of Japanese games are popular on the PC ... You sure it doesn't have anything to do with your gaming circle ? I would imagine that the platform holders be more associated to each other. There's a lot of high end PC gamers but I would imagine that the Western audience being more motivated to buy high end gear seeing as how there are games that they want to have a decent experience with such as Star Citizen. |
I can only speak from experience, if you head in to hard off (used store), you see two types of pc, bog standard super low end, and enthusiast-level-4-years-ago, that suggest to me that pc gamers generally pick up high end rigs, then upgrade them every 4 or 5 years here, given how many ive seen.
same goes for used graphics cards, i barely ever see stuff like GTs or GS's, its usually GTX580s and above.
When i went over to okinawa from tokyo, there were some of our friends there, and most of them had high end rigs, when i lived in shizuoka before moving to tokyo, most of my friends there ran high end rigs too.
Again, its just my personal experience, but for the most part pc gamers here don't go mid range.
