Yep, people would be surprised at how little 1080P games there are for either console.

TC, I don't feel like spending 50k on a TV. :lol:

Yes but you get to play them on a larger, cheaper screen, and you don't need to spend more than the blue book value of your car (well, my car) to do it.

Cost of Entry for 720P gaming on a "big screen" in the living room: PS3 = $299. 40" 1080P TV = $600. Total: $899 Cost of Entry for 2160P gaming on a "big screen" in the living room Quad SLI PC = $2000 2160P TV = $50,000 Total: $52,000 Seems like a fair comparison.

Yep, because of the slow adoption to HDTV in general. Higher definition HDTV's aren't likely to take on for a while, I would think.

OT: I couldn't imagine playing at that insane rez :P

Yes, because no company plans to produce consumer-marketed TVs greater than 1080p for a long, long time.

PC gamers don't really use resolutions greater than 1080p (1200p), anyhow. Only people with multi-monitor setups and gigantic 30"+ screens.

Never mentioned consoles. I'm just saying this type of ridiculous resolution isn't going to be used by any notable percentage of PC gamers.

Meh. Even 2160p won't max out Crysis. I think that game goes up to 6400x4000. In any case, I'm happy gaming on my PC with 768p or 900p.

Unless you have a screen of like 50 inches, its not really important. Plus 720p is enough to enjoy awesome games.

my jump from the PC to the PS3 was abit shocking at first (yes, i didn't have a PS2. shoot me now).

i've been gaming on 1080p since 2002 and yet i got my PS3 8 years later and even though the textures are high-res, most games didn't even have at least 8x AA or 720p. but hey, the games are where it's at. :)

Aren't most consoles 720P? 720P = 1280 x 720. Calculating everything that is higher would result in 85% of all steam users on a higher resolution than consoles, of course not everyone games in those resolutions but the majority won't be satisfied playing under their native resolution.

Sort of. Almost all TVs actually have a native resolution of 1366x768. Even if an individual game is using a lower internal resolution, the image will be upscaled. Technically speaking, console gamers are gaming at a native display resolution of 1366 x 768. So the number of Steam users operating at a higher display resolution would be about ~70%.

But yeah, clearly most PC gamers do use resolutions superior to consoles; on the other hand, Systems Wars has a habit of treating 1080p as if it's a PC gaming standard. In reality, we're probably a long time away from 1080p being the operating standard for PC gamers, much less 2160p.

PC has just received 2 AAAEs, of which one is already becoming a sport more than a game, and as said by lundy, the PC has more exclusives than all consoles COMBINED.

So yeah, you really made your logic shine with this post.

Well, I addressed this above... but my point was just that we're a long time away from a 1080p standard, much less 2160p. I didn't really intend to imply anything for consoles.

Honestly, no matter what percentage of PC gamers are playing at higher display resolutions than console gamers, it's still a backtrack compared to last generation. Last gen all console games were designed for 640x480, and many systems (like the Gamecube) didn't even support component cables in their later models. Most people played games at the (not so) beautiful resolution of 480i.

Is there any doubt that last gen 100% of PC gamers played at resolutions above consoles? Today about ~70% of PC gamers do... the gap is actually decreasing.

There are plenty of FPS, Sims, Adventure, RPG's etc on PC's. WHat are you talking about?:?
