PC WINZ! Follow the link for the study Basically :- 70% of developers are working on Windows/Mac platform games 43% developers are working on video game console games 28% developers are working on Web-based games 16% developers are working on handheld console games
For Consoles:- 73% are working on Xbox 360 games 58% are working on PlayStation 3 games 42% are working on Wii games 15% are working on PlayStation 2 games
So The PC has more developers still making games for it and it's supposed to be dead? Ok, I think the "TEH PC is DeaD" or the "ITS Will Die" need to declare themselves owned.

So even though the Wii is the best selling console, it has less developers working on it than 360/PS3

Yep, 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.

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].

So 2000 people who either visit gamasutra.com or subscribe to Game Developer magazine took a survey and we're supposed to believe this has any relevance outside of their subscription base, because? I could understand if they contacted each development studio, but with this method, you can have 10 people working on the same game and take the survey and it artificially inflates the numbers for that platform.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

Why does it make you so upset? That you'd have to make another thread to counter the flamers "PC is dead" statements. Btw percentages show nothing. Consoles are gaming systems, PCs are systems that play games.
