And you do know that in about 6 months when more games are coming out the average gaming pc will most likely be 3x-4x more powerful.
LOL I would guess that the average gaming PC is still less powerful than PS3/360. I bought a new PC every 3-4 years and the PS3 is out 1.5.
Besides the PS3 and 360 have a couple of advantages.
- Developers can use them to the max. The do not need to respect lower powered systems (you cannot do everything with settings)
- Devs can use low level APIS that give a huge boost in the longterm. Every abstraction layer over the 10 million different CPUS, graphic cards etc. has its own problems.
- For the PS3 if used correctly the Cell is amazing.
Because of this only PC games that do not care about performance or low-powered systems like Crysis truly look better on PC. For the rest its at best the possibility of a higher resolution or some better Anti-Aliasing. (will change of course when the difference widens) |
wow, you do know that if you want 4xAA you need a decent GPU right?Even the Sims 3 will need a stronger GPU then whats currently available on the base trash market (ie HP, DELL, Toshiba computers). As for any comments on PC gaming being a niche market. LMFAO at you. |
PC gaming is in decline whether you'd like to admit it or not , if it isn't a Niche market now I'm predicting it won't be long before it is. |
15+ million active steam accounts, 10 million WoW users, 25 million other MMO players, and the millions of other players that still play WC3, Diablo 2, starcraft, and all the FPSs say hello. There might be some overlap but I am going to go out on a limb here and say the PC gaming overall dwarfs the PS2's userbase.
