Are you prepared to be a PC gamer if the consoles fail us...?

I wonder if some of us have picked ourselves up from the fight to ponder if being a console owner next generation will even be worth it... It seems that PC will quickly if not immediately outpace the consoles... the new console features are fluff for the most part... "share" button :roll: and voice controls :roll: etc... 

You have from now till holiday season to ponder this, but the real question is this... If the consoles strangle consumers, offer little performance advantage, charge out the nose for everything and bitch slap you for letting your friend borrow a game... do you have the balls to JUST GO PC...?

After seeing the Xbox one reveal, how the Wii U is doing, and how Sony has been bent to the life support of companies and gamers, It seems people were right about consoles having one gen left

I'll just stick with handhelds.

I'd probably just go to handhelds.

Depends on what games they offer.freedomfreak

If they get things I want then sure why not?:P

PS4/Wii U/3DS/PC, winning combo next gen baby

[spoiler] Yes. PC for multiplats, 3DS for my Nintendo fix, Vita if I start missing Sony games too much, if Wii U and PS4 turn out to be crap. [/spoiler]

I am quitting pc gaming this gen.

I am tired of being treated like a 2nd class gamer.

I can see people moving over. Consoles don't know their market and audience, they are a mess. They are becoming a thing of the past. Hell, casuals are content with gaming on their smartphones and tablets (lol), so the room of core gamers is getting less populated on consoles which could kill consoles completely.

I would definately give a shot, i owe no company loyalty

Already a PC gamer. clyde46

I've been playing PC for years so that won't change, the question for me is "Will I bother to own either of the new consoles at all?. I can say for damn sure that I'm not feeling too excited about either of them but one looks at least promising.

I dont like sitting on a computer chair hunched over a desktop for any longer than 1hr so no its not an option for me.

If I could afford a setup that would allow me to play comfortably from my sofa then perhaps I would consider it, but then a setup like that seems less practical for other functions like using microsoft word (which I prefer to be close and hunched over).

I like my games and my computer seperated basically, I think this is because my computer is where I work perhaps.

PC gaming has been doing that for years, lol. But atleast some stores/companies stick to DRM-free(like GOG and most indies). We might not even have that with Microsoft. 

But yes if Xbox One/PS4 turn out to be a bunch of **** then I'll buy a Wii U at some point for the Nintendo exclusives and use PC for the rest.

I've been a PC gamer since the 90s...

Consoles are just good for an "extra" gaming system to me.

So far I already like what I see with the PS4, however I am already a PC gamer, though I mostly use it to play strategy and simulation games.  It does have the horsepower for next gen games if the PS4 turns out terrible as well.

I already play most games on the PC, but I've also owned many of the consoles as well. I still play my Xbox 360 pretty frequently, and I probably will succumb to buying one of the new consoles at some point.Wapapaya

No, because PC has the same problems that I'm against with these new consoles. If anything I'll be a Wii U gamer next gen, as sad as that is.Sali217

No. Hypothetically, if Sony failed (impossible) then I suppose it would be time to find a new hobby.

I'd rather quit gaming.

Still waiting on more info on the PS4. Both Sony and Microsoft have been far too vague on some of the more questionable issues. So yeah E3 will seal the deal for me on whether I get a PS4 or not. Will be picking up a Wii U when Zelda, Project X and whatnot start dropping through. Though if all things fail I'll be plenty busy and backlogged with handhelds and PC.

I'd rather quit gaming.

You know it has crossed your minds.  Just finish the deed and convert .  Become part of the all powerful master race.  You will never be happier once you do.
