are consoles going to make gaming pc obsolete??

.the reason I say this..is because consoles are becoming more and more like like a high end rig...are we going to reach a point where consoles are on par with pc's??? cause you never know..maybe in the future consoles will be able to play pc games also...

:lol: :lol: :lol: ... sorry had to get that off my chest.

Use some common sense now....

PC's are already obsolete, console games far outsell there PC equivalent, Bioshock, C&C3, Oblivion all sold about 5 times better on 360.

Consoles are the future now that they can run anything that a PC can. Bioshock, COD4, Half life 2 orange box. PC is no longer needed. Nothing but hassle, people don't want that anymore.

Can you run Crysis on high settings with those specs in your sig?How much did that rigcost you?CB4McGusto

Yes, he can. Looks like a $900 rig about.

Maybe in America, because everyone's so lazy and money-happy. Not in Europe and Korea, PC gaming is extremely popular there. ;)

Nothing but 'hassle' and improved gaming. Bioshock PC > Bioshock 360. The same applies for the other examples you used. Just because you can't grasp the benefits behind PC gaming doesn't mean it will die.

No...Consoles will be the one playing the catch-up game most of the time.

It's no shock that Take 2 claim this week's All Formats No1 as the critically acclaimed 'Bioshock' becomes the 2nd fastest selling Xbox 360 game (behind Gears of War). Released on both Xbox 360 and PC, 'Bioshock' in particular gives Microsoft's next-gen console a noticeable boost with 88% of sales on Xbox 360 and 12% on PC, and accounts for 58% of all Xbox 360 Full Price units sales this week.

88% of all Bioshock sales were on 360, and PC gamers say PC isn't obsolete :lol: go back to the drawing board hermits as you're not top dog of anything anymore.

Not including STEAM and other digital downloads, besides I have alreayd gone through this with you, consoles sell more up-front, PC games sell more after time.

Your precious Halo/Gears of War hasnt touched Half-Life 2 sales ... now go back to your hole.

Why do people always think we will see PC gaming die? It is thecheapest one for a casual person who only wants2 or 3 games to get in to. PCs will always be more upgradeable, but consoles stay the same throughout the generation, so they will never be more powerful.

In short, PC gaming isn't going anywhere.

I have feeling that ppl are getting the impression that I meant PC GAMING IS DYING...I didnt say that..I meant do you think that consoles might one day be considered an all round gaming machine that play both console and pc...i know that pc gaming isnt going any were..time has proved this for us..im just asking what youre thoughts are on this..:)

Don't worry. I seriously think, that helped by Crysis, DX10, and Spore, PC gaming is going through a huge resurgence. :D

C&C3 on the PC sold a million before the 360 version was even released....

In fact, it's consoles that are getting more and more closer to PCs.

Consoles now have web-browsers, secondary operating systems, online mulitplayer and social networking, upgrading capabilities, hard-drive installation, etc...

Not likely. PCs will always be nee4ded in every household, as long as there are PCs somebody will make games for them. "catching up to high-end"? That happens every gen, but after two years PC start to produce graphics surpassing best of what consoles have to offer. It's happening this gen again, Crysis is the beggining. And console that plays PC games? It would spell death to any chances of profitablity console could have. Why would anyone make console games back then and pay the fees? They would just make pc games and put console settings in them

If anything pc's will make consoles obsolete. All consoles are doing every year is adding more and more features that a pc has had for ages.Eventually there will be no use for them.Consoles are constantly playing catch up and their hardware is made obsolete by pc hardware very quickly. Look at the 8800's. They can render any game at much higher resolutions than 720p at blistering frames per second. This november sees the release of the 9800's, which is touted to be twice as powerful as the 8800's.

The ceo of crytek even said that consoles actually couldnt manage crysis in its current form as the ram is seriouslyoutdated.

Also to the guy who said no one wants hassle. Tell that to all the 360 owners having to send their 360's back time and time again...:lol:

While the 360 version probably did sell better, that didn't say that. It said the 360 console sales were up 88% due to Bioshock.

No Consoles are going to make themselves obsolete by trying to make themselves too much like PC's and thus removing all the advantages of owning a console. They've already pushed their cost up into the PC range and with the constant "new versions", upgrades and add-ons before long they will be dead.

And I'm saying this as someone who mostly games on consoles. I don't like the way it's going.

Didn't CnC3 sold 1mln on PC in first three weeks, while after 4 months it still didn't brake even 300K on 360? Yep..though so :D

:lol: what the hideously overpriced 120gb one?

£130! A 120gb hdd on pc costs like £20........

HA thats almost enough to buy yourself a 8800gts 320mb!

Consoles are a rip off.

£60 for a wireless adpator? :lol:

almost £50 for a wirelees controller with a play and charge kit...:lol:

Civilization IV: Beyond the Sword rises back up to best World of Warcraft and The Burning Crusade in sales this week in the United States, butBioShock proves to be the biggest seller overall. While the Xbox 360 version is the more popular of the two in the U.S., BioShock on PC nevertheless manages to make a strong overall sales impression that few PC titles manage to achieve. Interestingly, though, the PC port outsells both the regular and limited Xbox 360 editions in Europe, where BioShock's PC version emerges as the week's biggest-selling software title on any platform.Gamasutra

It's the tendecy of all eletronics. Prety soon you refrigerator will have a built-in computer to monitor you're usage, grocer suplies, food quality, energy comsumption, etc. And soon after that, every refrigerator will be required by law to have a built-in computer to monitor and make more efficient use of energy(automaticaly ajusting the temperature based on how much food and usage patterns).

The good old days are gone forever. :(

That is also vice-versa. the PC can run all console games but better. also, there are still tons of people that think it's worth upgrading your PC to get more advanced games. look at crysis, once the 9800 series coems out we can start oplaying that game on the ULTRA settings. imagine that, crysis already looks amazing on medium settings.
