vandalvideo, what accounts for the other 70% of software sales? consoles and handhelds, correct? the pc is the biggest singular platform. but the consoles are systems developed specifically for gaming. they fall into the category of 'console.' thesmiter
You do realize console is a misnomer? It is a term that is quickly going out of date. We're talking about gaming platforms, platforms used for games. All three consoles are not one platform which share the same games and software. The PC is the single largest platform on the market, far surpassing any single platform.

it counts as one big category. they all appeal to roughly the same casual target market. expensive pcs appeal to the more hardcore target market.

Wrong, they do not count as one big category. See above. And you're wrong again, PCs are not innately more expensive than consoles. They have the potential to be, just ast hey have to potential to be cheaper.

and, therefore, consoles as a whole do indeed outsell pc. why are consoles put together? they are all systems with the singular funtion of gaming. pcs aren't. so consoles are all put together when compared to the pc.

Completely and utterly wrong. You cannot combine three gaming platforms into one category which is nothing more than a passee classification. Consoles do not share the same software seemleslly. The PC is a single PLATFORM, just like the 360 is a SINGLE PLATFORM, and just like the PS3 is a SINGLE PLATFORM.

there are different kinds of pc, but all pcs are counted together. they are different inside, but they all play the same games. they are counted together.

All gaming PCs can play all the same software. They're all one cohesive gaming platform, unlike consoles.

pc is the largest platform, but consoles, acting as their own financial entity, defeat it in gaming sales.

Consoles are not one financial entity. Consoles are made up of three financial entities vying for seperate control of a marketspace. They are not some large fiscal market that competes directly with the PC. 360, PS3, and Wii do not form Voltron.

so console is an outdated term now? i own a console, i'm from the 90s... wow... console sales are counted together by many. they are newer, and they aren't required for everyday usage, like pcs are. more people own pcs than anything else. they have untold amounts of functionality.

consoles have one funtion, and are classified together when it comes to most market research. I am majoring in marketing, and i just did a project where i explained how 'consoles' have generally the same target in terms of casual gaming (not age, age ranges vastly when it comes to wii vs ps3, 360). i got an A, so take your argument up with the way they do the marketing classifications.

Im sure i will hear many hermits claim that the "standards are higher on PC and how many games that are on PC would score much higher if they were on consoles. Sorry hermits thats completely false. If that is the case then why do games that appear on the 360 and PC that are basically identical in content recieve the same score?

examples

Bioshock PC(95%) Xbox 360 (95%) so much for higher standards lol

The Orange Box PC(96%) Xbox 360 (96%) why do they score identical? because they are the same game and are identical on both consoles except someone with a sweet pc can get slightly better graphics.

The PC is a great gaming platform but it IS NOT as dominant as it used to be.

Hermits need to realize that the PC isn't dominant over consoles.

gink101

If you played either of those 2 games on 360, and then PC, you would know that your statement is untrue.

Of course consoles are an outdated term. Many of the things that defined "console" are being thrown out the window as they are striving to be this quasi-entertainment center which focuses on movies, music, and games. Not to mention one of the most defining traits, multiplayer splitscreen, is showing up less and less in modern console titles. Console is a passee classification that simply cannot be applied in this day and age where their features are so different, and their experiences miles apart. They are not likey they used to be.

consoles have one funtion, and are classified together when it comes to most market research. I am majoring in marketing, and i just did a project where i explained how 'consoles' have generally the same target in terms of casual gaming (not age, age ranges vastly when it comes to wii vs ps3, 360). i got an A, so take your argument up with the way they do the marketing classifications.

Consoles do not have only one function anymore, and to say that you'd have to not have any of the modern consoles! Consoles nowadays are being marketed with multi-media functions and are no longer solely intended for being gaming machines. Heck, when the PS3 first came out I remember tons of adds claiming "cheapest blu ray palyer you can find...oh and it plays games". Saying that consoles are solely about gaming anymore is completely wrong. And once again, I could care less what you got in a 100 level marketing course. If you knew half of anythinga bout marketing you would know that these companies do not constitute one consolidated market or fiscal force. They are three entirely seperate forces that are competing for market share amongst each OTHER. The PC is one consolidated market. It is an amalgamation of dozens of different companies. Console is nothing more than a misnomer nowadays. We have gaming platforms, not consoles. And the PC is the single highest grossing PLATFORM.

oh, well i thought it was 2007. i didn't know we were crossing the generation gap. whatever... yes, those games have sold much better than any, ever. i never said pc wasn't any good, just that more casual gamers get console games.

although all those games are mmorpgs, which proves that they sell better on pc. i already said that. the sims is a great casual for the pc, i must admit, so in all time sales, pc is the winner.

but cosoles have been here since the nes, and will always be successful enough to generate profit, which is why they continue to exist.

pcs will always exist, obviously. and they will always run games the best, at the best resolutions.

You could put all console games together as well.

No you couldn't... PC is a seperate system. As it stands, it is better than a console for gaming.

vandal video, pc is the biggest. but consoles as a whole take away their gaming market space. even so, individually, and based on the facts you have presented, pc is the largest platform.

now that i think about it, its always been that way. but consoles will continue to exist, and improve, and thrive, just as pc gaming. so there, i agree with you.;)

[QUOTE="blackdreamhunk"] well ceo's and big investors are asking that same qestion as we speak!!!blackdreamhunk

you can't actually believe they will cease to exist? maybe there existence will be altered next gen, and instead of competing with the pc (which is stupid because it can't be done), they will go in some other direction?

but they won't disappear...

history says different history can repeat it self.

that makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. do you mean "history can change?"

really? so after the nes, they ceased to exist? oh, no, it was after the ps 1. no, ps2? n64? xbox?

maybe some consoles have ceased, but new ones will always find there way to shelves. consoles in general will not disappear. history says so.

micro lost 1 bill in consoles sony 3 bill on consoles. there was a game crash on the consoles. Not so on pc it never happened. Cost for game devs are high on console side. for pc game devs it's cheaper. Then there is DD for pc gamers and devs.blackdreamhunk

And without MS, there would be no PC

pc can live with out micro soft, it has apple red hat, linex and stuff like that. However micros soft has done alot for pc's and gaming just not enough.

Sure it could SURVIVE but it wouldn't be anywhere near where it's at today.

uh, consoles in general. meaning all consoles, ever. even if it means that they all become like the wii. still a console. still exists.

all consoles eventually die out, but new ones come. you cannot deny that, its whats been happening for 20 years...

do you mean the gaming crash of the 80's? and if you do, let me write out how you should have phrased that, for clarity:

"a console crash has happened. history can repeat itself."

see, with the use of punctuation and subject matter, a post can make sense.

just like if these consoles failed, there would be someone else to make another. btw, m$ has to be making up money on its games sales and xbl. otherwise, it would not put up with it.

nintendo has been the only one, however they were also effected by the crash so meny people talk about. pc on the other never seen any thing like that. The only thing pc has had is the big cooperate companies trying to spread lies about it or try to destory it with the drm and pircay. Pircay is found on all gaming machines.

so the only new consoles to come out have been nintendo? uh, i thought so. like i said, if these ones die, other consoles, from who knows where, will appear. the consoles make up too much market mass to be destroyed. maybe if there was a depression, but then gaming will be the least of worries.

they're trying to make it back with games from 1st party games. M$ did this, and that with xbL made up more than enough to lose some on hardware. that was their plan all along. do you understand economics?

the original argument is opinion, your above statement is opinion. here are some facts...

GTA4 has made truckloads of money on the measly consoles - http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20080904/bs_nm/taketwo_dc

Konami jumped 32% in profits with MGS4 - http://www.mcvuk.com/news/31437/MGS4-pushes-Konami-Q1-profits-up-32

MS gaming is making money - http://www.shacknews.com/onearticle.x/50957

ninty pretty much has a license to make money - http://www.joystiq.com/2008/04/24/nintendo-continues-cash-infusion-record-sales-and-profits-in-fy/

but please, continue making claims without a shred of credibility to back them up.

blackdreamhunk


Bailing out of the console market would 100% ensure that all the money they spent was wasted, and could never be made back. Do you think investors would be happy with that either?

MS and Sony will do what they can to cut costs and leverage existing assets.
