PC has dominated this year so far.

Tiberium Wars gives the PC its 3rd AAA title this year, anyone still think PC gaming is dying?

 There is also a 360 port of Tiberium Wars on the way, anyone guess how dumbed down the gameplay will be to make it casual console friendly?

Just because the PC has high rated games doesn't mean it isn't dying as a gaming platform. Lets face it, for probably 90% of the gaming population that doesn't build their own PC's, PC gaming is way to expensive when compared to console gaming. That happened to me back in 2001, I used to be a PC gamer, but I couldn't justify the price of upgrading when compared to the price of buying an Xbox.pundog

Yet...it hasnt stopped pumping out more AAA titles than any other system. Is that a dieing platform?

Ignorance.. all over the place on that comment.

Look at the sales figures for games like Half-Life2, World of Warcraft: Burning Crusade, Tiberium Wars, Company of Heroes, etc etc.

The PC has tons of great games.  And yes, people still play them.

What AAA's have to do with the money it makes. Just because a game is AAA does not mean it will make lots of money, and that's what counts (although it does affect sales).azrealhk

you mean besides the fact that Burning crusade is selling better than any console game has in last two years

So basically your point is because you gave up PC gaming in 2001 it must be dying? :lol:

It actually funny you bring up that point, since based on these trends you'll need to give up console gaming soon as it's rapidly becoming more expensive. The PS3 and 360 are the most expensive consoles in years (I believe the PS3 is the most expensive ever) and the required investment of a HDTV dwarfs the cost of even Crysis capable PC hardware. Add in the fact you need to pay for services like XBL you get for free on PC, and the fact PC software is on average cheaper than console software, I think you've got your wires crossed.

But it's not just that;

• Software sales in the US last year showed an expansion in the PC software gaming market.
• The NPD admits it can't track digital transfer services like Steam or Direct2Drive, and that revenue and sales for PC software is much higher than it accounts.
• The NPD admits it doesn't track subscriptions fees to MMORPGs like WoW, ridiculously profitable enterprises.
• Nothing outsold the Sims franchise this past generation, a fundamental PC game.
• The PC has had every year the most AAAEs of any system, and has won 8 out of the last 10 GOTY awards here at GameSpot.

except that PC gaming sales are constantly improving, even the US retail has improved last year and online segment(both MMOs and downloadable games) is booming.

PC gaming is more popular than ever, more people game on PC than ever before. Is it as popular as console gaming in US? of course now, but the point is: it never was. Pc gaming is constantly growing, just not as fast as console one(but on the other hand costs of development and marketing also aren't growing anywhere near as fast on PCs as they do on consoles)

why do hermits only come out at night? is it cause youll get torn apart during the day? 9.6 > 9.3 gamespots scores = the rulessupermechakirby

changing topics, eh?

first of all Oblivion is better on Pc, read GS's feature.but let's leave that aside.Second, it's not AA game(which is what you were writting about), third, Pc has 4 exclusive AAA games last year and only two non-exclusive. 4> 2.

not AAA or even AA game on PC and it's not even a true PC game, Pc version is a port of 360(altough changed heavily), so bassicaly GRAW is proof of 360 loosing exclusives, not Pc

typos or not, what you write is still false. Majority of good games, be it AAA or AA ones stay exclusive. I don't know why a lemming like you is even trying to argue with hermits at SW, 360 is so far doing simply horribly in 2007 compared to Pc

believe? in what? facts? I don't think I have to. GRAW launched on PC many months after 360 version. Heck...GR2 wasn't even on PC. SO exacly how GRAW fits into your "most AAA PC games get ported to 360" theory? considering it was neither AAA Pc game nor was it ported to 360(it was Pc version that was a port).

All you write is proving that most AAA 360 games get ported and 360 is incredibly weak when it comes to exclusives, nothing more

 

and now were back to that higher standards crap oh well I hate to bring up old arguements but "more $$ for more grass :lol:" its just more of a draw distance.. WOWOMG THE GAME IS SO MUCH BETTERsupermechakirby

Read GameSpot's review FAQ. PC has higher standards because frankly, PC is a better gaming system and has a better library. And yes, the game is much better with improved visuals and user made content, the ability to edit and fix quest bugs (which basically are game stopping on the 360 version) and to create new content.

You've still not told me what makes the 360 version better, you've just pathetically quoted some numbers, not understanding how their meant to be applied.

The fact people dont need to build a computer, upgrade every 2 years just for better performance when we pay less for consoles with equal quality or better.HazeNPopes

You think you need to upgrade every 2 years? My, it's no wonder you stay away from PC gaming, you're woefully misinformed about it.

And what does this have to do with the Oblivion 360 port being better, why are you changing the subject?

except that after those two years when I upgrade I get visuals beyond anything consoles can handle and I enjoy constantly better visuals, while you "enjoy" your dumbed down ports from Pc that look and play much worse than Pc originals. I guess you get what you pay for
