If you're playing Chinese MMOs then sure, PC gaming can survive without console. Wherever their roots were doesn't change the fact that the PC gaming industry can go away and consoles will still be alive. In the west, consoles sales subsidize PC games sales.


Umm. What? Again, you can't be serious.  lol

Pretty sure the PC is the more profitable singular platform for publishers/developers... There are profit margins of 70% on PC, where-as consoles it's more like 30% last time I checked.

Many PC games sell better on PC than consoles. Case in point: Diablo 3.

Plus... Kickstarter kinda' makes your point completely and utterly irrellevant. Case in point: Star Citizen.
PC has more games, has more exclusives, has more gamers.
Even it's exclusives are some of the most expensive platform exclusive games produced of all time. Case in point: Starwars the old republic.

Well let us imagine a world without pc's or gaming pc's would sony stop producing consoles? would sony stop producing first party games? would nintendo stop with producing games and consoles? I don't agree with that, why should they stop? They make so much money with that and not one cent comes from pc's for both of them.

so what would change for sony and nintendo? microsoft is a bit outside of that with the opening up to the pc market.

Bolded: Case in point the witcher 3 (the witcher 1 a pc exclusive and witcher 2 xbox console exclusive) sold more on ps4 than pc.
