Do people realise that PC gaming revenue includes any device that has an x86 architecture? About 40% of the pc gaming revenue also comes from China and the Chinese/Korean MMOs.

Like someone previously stated usually PC elitists think poorly of console gaming as a whole. To put it into perspective they think about console gaming like how everyone on this forum thinks about smartphone gaming. So personally to me they're the most frustrating elitists to listen to.

Eh, in theory maybe.   In practive I ended up with everything... and I don't really use any of it outside my PC despite spending more hours playing games then a person really should.

PC games just offer too many options and possibilties, to where even the best console games are... ok and all, but compaired with the general freedom and possibilties of PC gaming... to where even the best console games seem constricting and lacking in value.

Can't really say it as worth paying for my systems at launch price, and I really don't plan to get a new system until probably near the end of the next generation.

The hypocracy of it all. which is why I haven't been posting much lately.

You're full of it.

I spent over $1k on my gaming rig 3 years ago (and have spent more replacing parts that have broken), and I find your exagerrations grating. I can run everything, but nothing on max and certainly not with a stable frame rate. I think PC elitists exist because the internet gives very insecure people to form an hivemind.

Why the obsession with running things at max?   What he said doesn't exactly imply max... and if you spent that much your computer has to be running games better looking and as smooth as your consoles.  Well unless you've gunked it up somehow.

As for the broken parts... why didn't you send them in on their warranties like you would a console?

I never said everything will be on max. Nor did I include Anti-Aliasing, majority of games however will run fine on max, the PC games library spans decades remember.

You obviously get the exceptions such as Metro, but then even the consoles wouldn't be running that even on Max anyway, sorry about your reading comprehension failing on that part.

If you built your PC right the first time, you wouldn't have broken hardware either.
My PC is going on 2 years old (In sig) and not one single piece of hardware has failed, My Phenom 2 x6 PC is going on 3 years old and it's still as reliable as the day I built it.
My FX 8120 system is going on a couple years old and it's perfectly fine, even with my kid-brothers abuse.

There are millions of PC's around the world which are a decade or older, all running fine like the day they were built, I'm afraid you're the exception and not the rule.
Besides, warranty is there for a reason, my PSU has a 7 year warranty and my motherboard has a 10 year warranty for instance, which is longer than my Xbox 360's 2-3 year warranty length.

If you want, I do have access to a Core 2 Quad system, I can drop one of my Radeon 7970's into it and do some benchmarks if you wish, you would be surprised how well they handle gaming.

Don't be mad at them, they just feel left out and wanting attention to fit in that's all.

I'm not seeing pc elitists talking about how awful sony/xbox fanboys are.
