I hope they make a Wii emulator soon, that way I can sell my Wii and buy more games hehe.

I feel like I was mislead. Curse YOU NINTENDO!!!! From now on, all my games will be on computer! So what games will run on my '02 Dell with 128MB RAM?

 i have a link to some indie titles but you wont be able to run much at all on that old computer. Your computer might be to old. Might be able to upgrade it though, do you know the specs? Or else you can build a computer for $500 easy.

The pc gets the most exclusive games... One only needs to look at the list on this site.

The winner of the gaming generation is the people buying and playing them no matter what its being played on. Now,for the controller issue i prefer the console controller because the mouse and keyboard make my wrist and hand tired and for me its simplier with a dual shock 3 or a 360 controller. I would only play 3D games because its all about realism because playing sports,3rd and 1st fps games are real life in 3D so i want to play in 3D.But if you have the extra money to upgrade your computer to play the great pc games like crisis so you can get the most out of your computer then be my guess because you will have to upgrade unless you have a top of the line pc with the trimmings with it(they cost). But in my case,gas is Way to high right now for me.

"Shack: Do you guys ever get tired of the same old "PC Gaming Is Dying" stories?

Doug Lombardi: I mean, I think, we sort of laugh at it. Because we've been wildly successful--we're very fortunate, you know. Our games have all done really, really well, Steam has taken off and become this whole other business for us, Valve has never been in better shape--and yet everybody is talking about how in the PC world, the sky is falling. And we're like, we've been doing this for 10 years now--actually 12 years since the company started, 10 years since the first game came out--and we've never been in better shape, financially or otherwise. The company is over 160 people now--it was 20 people when we shipped Half-Life. We've got multiple projects going--we were always a one-project-at-a-time group.

We don't understand why that story gets traction over time. I think people have finally started to clue in to the fact--there was a story last week where people finally looked at the online subscription revenues for WoW and all the things that look like WoW, and realized, wow, there was a butt-load of cash being made here that wasn't being counted at the register, at retail, in North America, which is where all these stories come out of.


It's hard to be able to have games that scale, and to write performance on the high end, and write performance on the bottom end, but you know, winning in any industry means some hard work.NPD, god love 'em, they release a US retail sales report, and people take that and say that's the world picture. And it's just not true. It's not like NPD is trying to be evil. Their job is to report North American sales data. They're doing their jobs. But people are taking that and discounting.. in Germany for example, retail sales of PC products crush all other games, with the possible exception of the DS. It certainly kills all of the next-generation consoles. So if people were looking at that and factoring it in, if people were looking at WoW's subscriptions alone and factoring it in, looking at Steam sales and factoring it in.. Just look at what Popcap's doing--Bejeweled and Peggle and all this stuff--they're not in that NPD data.

If you go around and you look at all these different things that are happening on the PC, and you add them together, my hunch is that [the sales numbers] would actually be much larger than all of the consoles put together. Again, minus the DS, because the DS is this crazy thing by itself. But talking purely in terms of the Wii, the PS3, and the 360, if you added those together and looked at the whole picture, I'd bet you PC would be even, if not bigger than those three systems in terms of the money that's changing hands and the opportunity for doing business.

So we always look at those things, and we always kind of laugh. We're doing just fine, Popcap's doing just fine, Blizzard's certainly--they're printing money down there. We always sort of shake our heads, and go, okay, sooner or later someone's going to write the bigger picture story and perceptions will change. "

Valve says PC > Consoles

Edits acting wierd so i'll add this.

Ea chases money, they like money.

Their spring lineup?

PC/360
PC
PS3/360
PC
Wii
PC
PC/360

5/7 games will release on PC and 3/7 will be exclusive.

The reason I don't hate EA is that they always treat PC rather well, and they know how much more profitable PC can be than any console. 

The real winner this generation: gamers.
