PS3/Wii can be cracked as easy as a torrent can be downloaded

seen the new news for PS3, doesnt even need a dongle anymore soon

Yeah,I'm done with this.My point was that pc pirating is the easiest way to pirate.

Good, you do realize that we havnt disagreed with you, just stating its barely any kind of valid point because anyone that wants games for free... anyone with who knows how to use the internet can do all the consoles piracy (bar 360) .

I know,but that wasn't my point.

the only problem with Proof is you won't get any as they are not being reported the closets thing would be steam. Also because PC gaming has 0 marketing campaign unlike consoles which won't help one bit. Fact of the matter is consoles is the publisher's marketing dream. If a 1M copies of this game was to be sold on PC it be like whatever.

If that same amount was sold on consoles however you be hearing it like the apple get a mac comercials lol.

Certainly he had some source before he claimed it, right?

I mean who knows it could be true but then again we won't know as no one cares to report. Not reporting is just as bad of not many copies being sold regardless if that game did made a sale or not.

Yep. I'd have no problem with it if it turned out to be true (and after selling it for $6-7, it might be pretty close), but the whole "BC2 sold best on PC" thing materialized out of thin air after the misinterpreted Bazajaytee quote I previously referred to.

Now that i think about this. Since when PC gaming was tailored towards the masses anyways. Ine some ways i am glad that its not in the masses because boy you don't know how many people i ran into know squat about pc's but yet all they care is "get my game to work" when the obvious problem is YOUR HARDWARE DOES NOT MEET THE REQUIREMENTS. lol. This is why most turn to consoles they simply don't understand how computers work. I understand they don't want to know or into computers thats fine but that is no excuse to why pc gaming sucks. More like you suck at computers LOL.

Because of the HD platforms it's undoubtely the one that you can pirate games on the easiest.

That said, those numbers are meaningless if you don't put them in their right context. Which most of the times, people fails at doing.

Because console developers aren't affected by piracy, rentals and second hand market.
