Console Gaming Is Going To Die

At least that's what the leaders of Hewlett-Packard are claiming. In an article published from Games Radar on April 5th, Lars Butler said "I believe the days of the console are numbered". He also said that the gaming potential of PCs could render consoles obsolete. Could this be a twist in the whole "PC is dying" claim from the past 7 years?

Roy Taylor, vice president of Nvidia, also painted a "rosy future" for the mouse and keyboard side of gaming; claiming that "Our advantages as developers is what we know is coming." "And what is coming is far ahead of the console. You will see a huge difference between what you can get on a PC and a console."

HP plans to roll out a new line of gaming gear later this year including a curved computer display designed to immerse players in the action.

Correct. It's why Epic just recently spoke out about how PC gaming is not what it once was and it's also why Gears of War is exclusive to a console despite Epic starting out on the PC.the-very-best

Doesn't counter my argument in any way. 

I can just use Mass Effect as another example. Bioware used to be PC only, but not anymore. It must be because console gaming is finished right?

Nothing is finished or will be in a near future. Console and PC both have their cons and pros and both are growing when it comes to gaming.

As long as high end gaming PC's cost 2, 3, and sometimes 4 times what a console costs and the games are not looking even twice as good as the best console games out, console games will never die.

 And don't forget that right now that the capabilities of hardware far exceeds the capabilities of developers to utilize that power.  I don't see that changing any time soon so it doesn't matter if there are DX 10 drives...its how many games take advantage of it.  Right now...ONE...Crysis.  Is that enough reason to pay $600 for that video card?  I don't think so.

 Consoles are here to stay for a while.

Considering Console gaming is steadily increasing in sales and the PC isn't anywhere near matching console sales (in total, not just one console) I have to call BS on this.

Oh and yea....if you wanna play the latest games you need to change your Video card at least 8-9months......and how much are they??? 599-699 right?? Right!!! So a PC is kind of expensive after a while. Always needs to be upgraded. a Console is for people who doesn't want to deal with that. But I too will upgrade my PC before Crysis arives...:) unless it comes out on the PS3 wich is not impossibleHunAndras1984

Wrong. World of Warcraft has, what, 8 million subscribers? And that's being generous. Now let's compare that to the tens  (possibly hundreds) of millions of people who invest in console gaming. All of a sudden, WOW is very insignificant.

Plus theres a ton of sales data that supports my argument. Don't make me get it and own you up and down the street. :|
