PC gamings comeback

I'll leave this right here.

Remember System Wars at the start of this gen? PC gaming was suppose to go away forever, because "the HD twins can do everything the PC does only cheaper."

What do you want to bet we hear the same BS when the next consoles near release?

Now who said "History doesn't repeat, but it rhymes?"

Prepareing for 20+ pages of garbage.

Casuals rather buy iPADs than consoles nowadays. The arrow will continue to go down.

Well that's great! With the PC there's more power to be used, so more room for innovation and better games. We all want better games, right?

Comeback? PC and consoles were fine six years ago. They're fine now. I don't see any comeback, any platforms dying, or really, much difference at all. Free to play will be an interesting growth opportunity for PCs, but it'll also drive out the single-player games I love. And the big money will continue to flow to social games, especially those with a mobile version.lowe0

I think most would understand it's referring to PC revenue vs console, not that any system was really floundering.

But what about teh piracy?

Seriously, these kinds of threads are just payback for all the 'PC gaming is dead' stuff a few years back.

Feels good to be a PC gamer.Heil68

Recorded music might be in a downfall but with gig attendance getting higher and the general music scene being more acessible why would you buy CD's now really :P

gigs are far more fun and social aswell as meeting new folks just thought i'd add that but thats my thinking on why its getting lower, aswell as a lot of labels giving away tasters and some bands even releasing cd's for free after release now (lot of smaller bands are moving to this).

this has been posted a billion times. Consoles sell more games.

Its been doing better than each console for like 4 years now. Its always had the most games each gen as well.

yay

Hooray... I'm so glad PC gaming made this *grand* comeback, even though PC gaming never went anywhere.

Glad I play on PC :D

Interesting, I got my Gaming PC right around where it seems to have started to grow (got my desktop in August 2010). Spent from Summer of 2009 on here and looking into PC gaming (always supported it, just never actually bought a PC of my own to game on) and then once I had a much better idea of what I was doing and what it was all about I got into it. And I absolutely love it, I still like to have my consoles on the side as well.

The average Xbox 360/PS3 player only puts in 4 hours into each of their games? Jeez. Even 8 hours is low if you're paying 60 bucks.

I am surprised there is not more hate in this thread :lol:

take these numbers with a grain of salt buddy. i mean, they actually compared july 2010 sales of ncaa football to f*cking starcraft 2 for christ's sake. like that proves anything at all.

I've only been here for a year though, so I wouldn't know what went on at the start of this gen.

It was great. "PC is doomed now that consoles do HD/online. Why would anyone need a PC? No one is gonig to spend $2K on a PC when you can get a 360 for $300! Devs are abonding the PC in droves, enjoy your ports!" ;)

At the end of the day for these companies its about profits and not sales. People need to understand that releasing a game on pc is quite a bit cheaper and easier. You dont pay royalties unless its on steam, and even then its nothing compared to the royalties of Sony, MS, Nintendo. Not to mention you steam is wayyyy better than going through a publisher.

Lol I remember at the start of the gen that 360 & PS3 were supposed to do 1080P, well at least the PS3 was. Console fanboys (and I do mean the fanboys) were going mental.

Now there is this thread on the front page of SW 'Will Xbox720 be able to output 1080P' or something like that and again some console fanboys (everyone knows who) are going '720P is more than enough, only hermits care about higher resolution'. Laughing my ass off.

They try to but always fall flat on their faces. Especially when it's blatant fanboys doing it, they use some pretty dumb reasons for why consoles are better or why PC sucks etc. like zombiekiller's arguements. They are all personal tastes and nothing about the platform at all.

The biggest ones though are "you can play consoles on a couch with a pad". Which if people in 2012 still think it's only consoles that can do that then they should just leave and say no more because it's completely stupid. I hate when they say it like you can ONLY do that on consoles

Remember the cell was supposed to be able to do 1080p natively and give us 120 FPS :lol: those claims were so funny. And people really believed them. If they can't do it this gen then consoles are boned. I expect no less than 1080p from them. or at least get really high framerates at slightly lower than 1080. But never go back to 720, that just looks blurry these days

Hell, I remember Sony touting that the Emotion Engine (PS2) would be appearing in everything from TVs to your refrigerator.

Especially since unlike consoles in the past 7 years technology has moved forward. TV's have moved forward.

We may be considered hermits here, whatever. But some people are such fanboys that they'll go by whatever their favourite company tells them.

You only get 720P: Doesn't matter 720P is the best thing ever*

You now get 1080P: OMG take that hermits What kind of advantage do you have now !*

*dramatization, or is it ?

What an introspective and insightful comment.

Hats off to you sir.

Those console's processor's are garbage? 500mhx xbox? I thought you were made in 2002, not 1999. Why is pc listed as 1 ghz? Should be at least 3, if not 4 or even 5 nowadays.YoshiYogurt

GPU, not CPU.
