VALVE says most PC gamers' rigs can't touch next gen consoles, OH NO!

If you want a survey that imo can be used in system wars, then it should include only hardcore PC gamer's specs. Not all of the PCs out there... I bet that 47% is as large as all consoles combined in terms of number of users. 

EDIT: I bet that 53% are just casual PC users and I bet that 47% has more gamers than all consoles combined. So, I think PC is actually winning here by a large margin.

Look, I have a pre-built Dell XPS 420 computer that has a 8 year old graphics card and looks x3 better than current gen consoles. And so far from the gameplay videos of next gen consoles, the games on my computer just look as good if not better... sethman410

thats pretty impressive considering no such card exists.

or are you parodying hermits and how they always make stuff up and overstate things?

[QUOTE="Cranler"][QUOTE="mitu123"]Those people need to f***ing upgrade!!! It's like still having Windows XP...

wis3boi

next gen they'll need to change

So console peasants are still angry that almost all pc gamers have better hardware than current get hardware?  How long do you think it'll take before everyone has better hardware than nextgen consoles?  Take into consideration that the 360 had better hardware than PC's for about a month when it first released (Did not mention PS3 since it was outdate right out of the gate).  Now with this new generation of consoles, they have been absolete straight out of the gate 2-3 years ago.  Also, take into consideration that Steam does not represent PC gaming as a whole.

It's kinda ironical Valve is saying it when they are mostly releasing their games on PC than on consoles.

Many Steam users are using it to chat with their friends. What kind of computers do you think these people are using? That's right, crappy PCs and laptops.

freedomfreak and charizard are using Steam for that. Having these people on there is not helping the survey, so it's severely inaccurate.

so it's severely inaccurate.

If the sample size is adequate, then no.

There are still more PC gamers with systems stronger than PS4/Xbone than there are people who own a PS4 or Xbone. And that population will continue to riseSilenthps

I'll take Xenogears over "Supreme Commander" anyday... "If it doesn't require a minimum of 42 hotkeys it's not hardcore!" :lol:Spartan070

You should play Supreme Commander man, it's awesome.

You need to have a game attached to your account to use the community aspect of Steam. Just sayin'clyde46

Yeah bro. I just have to fit my PC in my cabinet first. 

[QUOTE="MonsieurX"][QUOTE="sethman410"] How is that even possible? Do you just make up bs? Oh, right, nevermind. Last night, I was told you are just a fakeboy. That's not technically possible. It cannot look as good as your PC...

Whats funny though is that theres many more pc gamers today that have a pc capable of playing the latest games than there were during the pc's so called golden age in the late 90's early 2000's. 45% of rigs in the survey has a quad core or better btw.

And ultimately this is the problem with PC gamers. They believe in this myth that they are the majority. They aren't. The hardcore, "serious" PC gamer is clearly a minority among all PC gamers.

Can't believe so many people missed the point.

NO!

m3Boarder32, you haven't answered me. Why are you saying consoles look as good as PC if you never hooked up the PC to your plasma TV that your consoles are currently connected to (assuming that's what's up).  It's not technically possible that consoles look as good as the PC you claim to have...

Kinda like saying that the PS2 and Wii can't touch what future nvidia products will produce.

I'm beginning to think that there's a misconception that hermits give two shits about value brand builds others might be using. Hell, I'm completely content using my 580 and willing to wait for the release of the 800 series.
