I don't really get the stupid console fanboys on this site. Even after you ignore all the digital distribution sales, I don't get why you say PC gaming is dying because of that.

Even if PC gaming is having a slow period, it will never mean anything. Consoles come and go, but there will always be PC gaming as long as PCs are around, which I suspect will be for a long time.  I'm not being some stupid fanboy...it just makes sense.  As long as there is powerful hardware available for computers, companies will keep making games to play on it, especially since gaming PCs are actually quite affordable.

And believe me, among my dozen or so closest friends, almost all of them play games somewhat frequently, most of us play once a night.

And someone mentioned PC not getting Bioshock and Gears of War? wtf? PC got those, it got the best versions of those. No question. They are technically better because of fewer glitches, better graphics, and GoW has free DLC that 360 gamers had to pay for, if I remember correctly.


And for those idiots that constantly talk about PC gaming being expensive, I'll copy and paste a post I made on some other topic a few days ago:

PC:
-- $800 PC (that's how much mine cost including a 22" widescreen monitor), it plays COD4 on max settings, Crysis with medium to high settings, TF2 fully maxed, etc.
-- Free internet usage and gaming.
-- Games typically start at $50.

Run that for 2 years, with, let's say, a $100 upgrade for something along the line, a hard drive, video card, whatever. I just bought a Radeon 3850 for $90, and that's pretty much my only upgrading in a while. Let's say you buy 12 games a year, once a month.

Add that up, that's $2100 in 2 years.

360:

--$350 console, no TV, you can factor that price separately if you wish, though to be fair we should throw in the same $170 monitor I factored into the PC deal.
--$50 a year for Xbox Live, right?
--Games typically start at $60.

Add that up, it's $1890 for 2 years, without the monitor. Throw in the monitor, or similarly priced TV, that's $2060. Throw in another controller, because who the hell owns a console with only one controller? You're now up to $2100, or $2180 if you buy 2 more controllers.

I was a little modest with both systems. You can overspend on a PC, get things you don't need, just as you can do with a console. You can buy used games on a console, but PC games drop in price REALLY fast so they're pretty much equal there.

and yeah, like greenmedic and others have said, if you want to buy a multiplatform game, of which there are MANY, PC is almost always the best option...both in controls and in graphics.  AND IF YOU DON'T LIKE KEYBOARD+MOUSE YOU CAN BUY A $20 GAMEPAD!  Had to caps lock that because for some stupid reason, console gamers think that keyboard and mouse are the only options in PC games, when in reality, I play lots of games like GTA, racing games, etc with a dual analog controller.

That's really the best thing about PC gaming.  You virtually have no options in console games, compared to a PC, where you can virtually do anything you want if you have the knowledge or tools.
