Well that's a flawed argument if ever I saw one. It's got nothing to do with elitism and everything to do with being a different platform with different strengths and weaknesses.

If a developer creates a Wii game, then they'll likely implement motion controls, because it's where the platform shines. On PC, you have access to a keyboard with multiple shortcuts, it's not difficult to add in. Another advantage is the ability to tweak graphical settings yourself, which includes anti-aliasing.

I'm not going to say that it's not possible to do a good port, as Mirror's Edge was done nicely and added PhysX support, although took a few extra months to release. However, unlike in previous years, it seems the Unreal engine 3.0 is used primarily as a console engine, and games are ported to PC after. In previous years, a PC engine game got ported down to consoles. In fact, I believe Epic were the ones who convinced Microsoft to double the RAM available in the 360 to 512Mb after they showed what was possible with the engine on Gears 1 with the extra RAM.

well it's true, the money is on consoles.
Big PC games don't sell as much.

Err ?

The runner up for must bugged game of all time is one of your favorite game ?

I have never ever seen a more bugged game on windows..

I lost count of how many times my character fell through the world or moved from one area to another area not connected to it by moving through the void in between them............

And don't get me started with Daggerfall randomly generated PoS dungeons.......

I think it won't take long untill Blizzard starts console development, too.

Look at former PC studios like Epic Games, Valve, iD or Infinity Ward (They were focused on PC with MoH and CoD 1 / 2).

Blizzard is the only one left. There will always be a Starcraft, Warcraft, Diablo or WoW. But I think they might create a new IP to bring it on consoles and get in touch with it.

I think that is going to depend how succesfull they are in monetizing the new Battlenet and at keeping piracy away from their new titles through smart use of battlenet...........

The whole PC piracy argument is the biggest BS fallacy and pretty clear scapegoating. As somebody who spent the time to make my Wii and 360 region free, I know that modding a console to play backups is trivial.

If you think piracy on a PC is easier, consider that the PC is always facing some new form of insane DRM. But with the console model the DRM is mostly pre-baked and rarely updated. Many new DRMed games can only be played on 360 until somebody cracks them for PC. If you want to play a pirated version online, once again the better option is the console.

If you still don't believe me check out the top 100 of any torrent site, look at the seeder/leechers. Piracy is huge on console. Any unethical 14 year old could do it in a few hours. The era of softmods (non-modchipping) are here in a big way, and publishers are insane if they think going console will shield them.

If you ask me it's a case of "blame the wii". Instead of examining whats wrong on the market lets pick on the smallest community.
