Sims is very impressive\

but other than that..

I fail to see PC software dominating console.

You people are just ignorant about PC platform.

There is an estimated 268 millions online PC gamers.

DFC reported the PC market will increase 73% from 1007 to 2013.

Microsoft GFW Director said PC market is $11.3 billions, while the console market is $14 billions (barely above the PC market)

Just look at PC's 2008 exclusive games: It totally crushes any console lineup this year.


Seriously, if your argument is just comparing the amount of threads, then there's something wrong with your heads.

While you guys are right, I must digress.. oh wait I don't.

SSJ12 you just got pwnd!!1!

EDIT: Sorry, my bad, you just got served!!

*wanders off*

1. That list is OUT DATED and does not include downloads.

2. your argument failed after I posted Naz's post.

3. PopCap Games alone wins this argument for me.

That proves nothing. First because most of those games' sales are outdated. Second, there are MANY games that do not have their figures released.

they aren't jsut that.. they arent educated enough... this is why this site is imho basically 90% 3 year olds.

You want to see how PC gaming is dead. Try this list of several THOUSAND active clans

http://www.clanlist.co.uk/component/option,com_bookmarks/Itemid,982/mode,0/catid,-1/navstart,0/search,*/

?  What does have to do with that? 100% of steam owners have a PC so abnormal that their are more PC games threads?

WOOOOOOOOOOOOW.

The PSN forum haves more PS3 threads!!

WOOOOW.

The Xbox live forum haves more Xbox threads!!  WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW.



Serious bro go on like this and I will send my cats to your house:

Isn't the reason that there a so few PC threads because the PC doesn't have Kingdom Hearts or Tales of Symphonia so Soriku doesn't make trillions of threads for it?? :)

Whoa ssj!

Settle down dude. Don't lose any sleep/hair over this!

I don't know about a $500-700 PC lasting 5-6 years (no OS, memory or GPU upgrades in 5-6 years for a gaming machine is unrealistic), but I definitely have to refute the oft quoted argument that PC gaming is too expensive.

You don't have to build a PC capable of running everything on max settings at 3k+ pixel resolutions at 100+fps to enjoy it as a gaming platform. Far from it.

Console gaming becomes a LOT cheaper once a generation is a good 3 years + into the cycle when consoles tend to be below $200 and there is an abundance of "best hits" titles going for $20 or less, not to mention all the used games that can be bought for under $10.

However; the 7th gen of consoles isn't at that point yet.
