Have you not taken a gander at PC game sales for the last 5 years. PC gaming is on the steady decline and game developers are learning this the hard way. It is far too easy to pirate games for PC, so developers make virtually no profit from it. Console gaming out numbers it 20 fold.

I think your a touch misinformed....

PC Gaming is far from a decline. The declining retail numbers is more due to the transition to digital distribution which the NPD Group cannot track.

That is a misconception. People look at RTS and FPS games on PC and think there's too many buttons, but the truth is most of them are simply optional. You are not forced to use hotkeys unless you're in a competitive environment (for example playing an FPS online).

You say alot of people have trouble with the controls on a PC, but how many people have problems with a gamepad? I, for one, absolutely hate gamepads for games except racing games. How many people would complain if you suddenly switched every K+M for a gamepad?

If there ever was a controller that would be named standard, it would be Mouse/Keyboard.

There are over 280 millions PC gamers, PC has more games being developed right now than all consoles combined, NPD said themselves that retail is only a tiny fraction of PC's revenue (30% last year, now it's less).

PC has more exclusives, while consoles are losing exclusives. EA, Activision, Capcom, Square-Enix, etc... are investing on PC now more than ever. Etc...

sorry CGI but you are being the one out of line. Shio might get a bit ohtheaded but this is the perfect thread to discuss disargreements with their choice.

Capabilities is one of the things that can make or break a system's line-up. This is what I was saying about control schemes and the need to have specific hardware for PC. I;m a PC fanboy wholeheartedly but i see what GT is coming from but i agree with Shio in saying the PC had the best line-up it just wasnt for the masses like the PS3's.

This is also the reason why the Wii and 360 didnt win. The Wii you need specific controls for some games, balance board or that gun that comes with Link's Crossbow training, and the 360 runs into the issue of to many of a few genres of games and not enough fill in for others.

the only small grip i had with sony was that Sony put too many games for the last 2 months of the year.

Motorstorm 2 should have been released in September.


but overall it was a great year .My gaming collection grew from 5 games to 14games(traded in 2 though)

what abouut yours CG
I?

Gametrailers needs to stop before they hurt themselves. How can PC be included in this catagory, but when it comes to graphics they totaly ignore it. Best story MGS4 was not even a nominee, and GTA4? wins the prize.

If GT was not such a joke I would give a crap about this, but this is like some dude some girl coming and telling me here boyfriend says so.

@ssj

Yea digital distribution of games on PC translates as...
DD=Pirate Heaven

No one is buying games for PC(regardless of how many games are being played on it)

PC comes out with more games then consoles......yea, I have been looking for that Wedding Planner game all my life and its exclusive to PC -_-....

It has a bit of the Wii, DS thing going on with massive mounds of shovel ware for it is the easiest platform to make games for(all games start on PC after all). Yet majority of these games sell below sub par. No PC version of a Multiplat game has out done it's Console counter parts, reference CoD4 for proof.

no surprise here really.... i can see the PS3 taking this award again in 09

Good job ps3. You deserve it. However 09, 360 and Wii will have it on lockdown, Best lineup next year will be tied.
