So even though the Wii is the best selling console, it has less developers working on it than 360/PS3whocares4peaceYep, it makes sense because multiplatform is all the rage now and the big publishers are making the games for PC,360,PS3 simultaneously most of the time to capture the biggest audience. The Wii has placed itself in a unique position where most developers don't consider it for multiplatform games but more for exclusive content to capture its segment of the market.
[QUOTE="angelkimne"]Pc is just the best / easiest to dev for. If i was a Dev, i would just be making PC exclsuives. farrell2k
And you'd probably make money, but just not much.
If i was to make a console game on my own. Well, let's stop there. I wouldn't even be able to afford the dev kit.tHough XNA is brilliant.
I tried making a game with it, but i just don't get scripting in C[hash].
HAHAHA SUCKED In to all those fail console owners who think that Pc is dead cos WERE Not we are teh best!!!!!!!!!!Shadowhawk000How mature.
This is a no-brainer, what with the flexibility and low cost of developing for the PC.M337INGYeah and theres nobody telling you cant release Big Rigs
WAIT A SECOND!
in no where does it say for a full time job. I would be listed under a pc game developer here since i make flash games.
I think that would go under web-based though ??WAIT A SECOND!

i guess. But even so, then it would still include other hobbiest games that have to be downloaded. Like if I built my game in maya

Your logic=flawed. Whats's sad, is where you are flawed, it is in this very post. If they weren't making much money, there wouldn't be so many devs deving for the PC.[QUOTE="angelkimne"]Pc is just the best / easiest to dev for. If i was a Dev, i would just be making PC exclsuives. farrell2k

More then you think.

Erm, Im pretty sure if it included all Flash games made by random people that the WEB percentage would crush all PC retail and console retail combined... I highly doubt that the case.
Just pointing out...You left out a quote there
"This implies that the greatest amount of Western console developers by sheer numbers are creating games for Microsoft's console - but due to team size differences, this doesn't necessarily imply that more games will appear on the Xbox 360 than other consoles."
How come the PC only has like one or two good games a year?FFXIII360lol you wish pc has so meny good game to choose from it's hard to choose.
Yea console players are still in the darkages when it comes to pc gaming and console.
How come the PC only has like one or two good games a year?FFXIII360The better question would be "how come you have no clue what PC gets?".
unfortunately the PC gets the crappiest games ( big rigs 2 ) AtrumReginaYea, but fortunately it also gets the best games.
Ok Pc has so meny great games that sony and microsft is always looking to steal PC great tittles.
Look at fallout it gets more attenion than RE5 that has been made into a hollywood movie
In fact the console has such a limited libarairy that can't compete with pc's libarairy.
The pc is ready and can play any game ever made known to man. Heck I can eve still play pong on my pc

How is it hard to choose from the 5 games on the shelves at Best Buy, Gamespot, Circuit City or even Walmart?
I played those 1 or 2 titles and it still can't touch the 360 in the fun factor department

yea well the last time I went to best buy there was so meny games it was hard for me to choose! I guess it may depend where you live.however these days best buy can't compete with online stores where I get get the oldest games to all the new ones.
Then there is all the free games as well as the indi games
You can't beat that!
Yea and pc has all the iconic games and all genres too, man I wonder what it's like to be missing out on rts games
PC owns console

I'm on a game site - duh!
And your point would be? You aren't helping your self much. I mean really, you are on a game site, yet still have no clue what PC gets. You are in a sadder state than I thought.Yeah and theres nobody telling you cant release Big Rigs[QUOTE="FirstDiscovery"][QUOTE="M337ING"]This is a no-brainer, what with the flexibility and low cost of developing for the PC.M337ING
The Wii gets more shovelware than PC these days, by a long shot.

A pc doesn't have gen's, besides the point, there is a fairly large amount of 2000+ games there.

Aren't PS3 dev teams generally much larger than the equivalent 360 team? I'm pretty sure this has been the case with a fair few large scale releases.
