And what about in terms of number or percentage of PCs that are sufficiently configured to play the current hot games? If you took all PC sales, the suitable comparison would be all console sales over the last seven generations. Of course the PC would still come out ahead since it includes PCs like office and government PCs never used for gaming, but currently, consoles are selling at a faster rate than PC gaming rigs. Feel free to dig up or crunch some numbers that show otherwise. I think there's a reason why many formerly exclusive PC developers are shifting some of their efforts to the console market (at the bare minimum, hedging their bets by supporting both markets). And the day the Wii replaces the PC or PC/console hybrid as the premiere gaming platform is the day I officially become a casual gamer in terms of games purchased and hours played. But as you said, that day will never come. |
hey now, Japanese Cell Phone games are freaking amazing. The RPGs they have there are omfg kill FF everyday good.
If you are meaning run crysis, several million by now. Run UT3, HL2, AC, etc. MILLIONS.
Office PCs not being used for at least solitaire. lol
PC devs are running away from PC because they are to stupid to join Steam and/or scared of piracy. This is why EA will not see any major sales off of Spore or Mass Effect on PC, their DRM crap is going to screw them over.
