all the pc needs to stay alive, in my oppinion, are two game genres, the mmo and the rts. The rts is a very unique pc experiance that is very hard to recreate on the consoles without heavy simplifying it. Halo wars was an amazing game, but was very simple, had few control optons or varied strategies. Games like starcraft 2 will keep gamers coming back to pc for years, if the online history of starcraft 1 is anything to go by, maybe we could see even another 12 years of starcraft 2! then theres the MMO, sooo many hotkeys, online content, mods and other internet realted stuff that the community never developes as well on the consoles. Games like aion, world of warcraft and warhammer online are great example of a pc experiance you just cant get on consoles.of course pc will still need other games! especially more exclusives, but i'm sure these will keep coming from the likes of valve and blizzard. PC gaming will NEVER die as long as it keeps offering unique gaming experiances, its not about the pcs graphx.
