It is impossible for it to be the best platform when it hardly gets japanese games. You will not see games like Lost Odyssey, Blue Dragon, Heveanly Sword, White Kight Story, MGS 4, Dragon Quest, No More Heroes, and many  other games. Also the majority of RPG on the PC are either mideval or Scifi. How many Elves, Orcs, trolls, magicians, and knights do I have to play as. It is not as diverse pc fanboys claim. Now that RTS and a lot more MMO are coming to consoles; consoles are becoming the most complete platform. I'm not saying PCs are bad it is just not the best platform.

As of right now the 360/PS3 are taking games from the PC while maintaining its console centric games. The PC platform is to incomplete to be the best gaming platform.

Does it have japanese games? It is not about exclusive games or about how many games in development for the PC. It is the fact it lack japanese style games which a lot of people like. So PCs can never be considered the best gaming platform.

I've seen no such rumours. Or did you mean the rumor you started right now? >_>

And the PC has plenty of Japanese games. Just an import away. >_>

TC, that's a farce.

PC has all the most popular Japanese series (Final Fantasy, Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil, Silent Hill) available in ports. Also, unlike consoles, it has most previous generations of console games available to it through emulation (though illegal if you don't own the original game). One can play Mario 64 or Pikmin on their PC.

Developers like Kojima have expressed interest in working more with the PC, showing it's an underappreciated format amongst Japanese developers, but not an excluded one. Certainly, the PC library is far, far more complete than any one console, and in many cases, several consoles combined.

You say consoles are becoming more complete with MMOs and RTS, yet neither of these genres have produced numerous or consistently good results. Consoles are simply weak in genres in the way PCs are not. Despite games like Halo Wars and Age of Conan coming to consoles, there is going to be little upturning of PC dominance there. Meanwhile, PC FPS and WRPGs are still superior to their console counterparts.

Yes, there are arguments against PC gaming, but it's not in the games library.

The only reason PC sucks is because the incredible utility and potential of the format is limited by the MS OS. Although, that doesn't necessarily make it worse than a certain console format.

You obviously never played PC games in DOS or without DirectX. Or how about way back when during the days when there were multiple competing OSes and you had to make sure to buy the game that would run on your particular computer? Fun fun fun.

PC gamers don't want Japanese games because Japanese games suck, and they are too busy playing their plethora of RTS/MMO/FPS/RPG

i disagree. While MGS is my fav franchise, *** games doesn't = good all the time.

All Blizzard games/franchises must be in most people's top 50 or even top 25 games of all times

It's good for certain genres, such as FPS, RTS and MMOs, but not very good for JRPGs or 3rd person games.  It can play them, just not very well.

So in a way, yes it won't ever be the best gaming platform.  It won't be as good as consoles at some things, but it's better in others.  It's more of a specialized gaming platform I guess

all I see on that list are action games and jRPGs. Where's adventure? Where are simulators? Where is puzzle? Where is strategy? And you talk about diversity :D

depends which kind of 3rd person. It might not handle Dmc-like games well, but max payne, Mafia, jedi oucast, jedi academy, Freedom fighters all play much better on PC, heck...even on foot parts of GTA play better on Pc
