Yes the PC has competition, but PC gaming is overall better than the 3 consoles out right now.

Wrong, Arcades > PC/Consoles back in the day.

I'm not gonna debate the 80's as I'm certain there were more PC gamers back then as console gaming was barely starting, but I'm gonna say that there's no PC game so popular to even compete with the popularity Nintendo brought to the table.
Also, as someone mentioned before, even arcade was more popular than PC ;)

I'm denying that consoles influenced gaming... But you are forgetting that PC gaming is what made the FPS genre and multiplayer, which wasn't on consoles. All the big FPS were on the PC first.

I'm not sure when, but there was an study that said Mario is even more popular than Mickey Mouse.

Still doesn't change the fact that if it wasn't for PC the FPS genre(which a lot of console gamers drool over these days) and multiplayer wouldn't even be this big.[QUOTE="Miroku32"][QUOTE="FPSfan1985"]Cloud gameing will take over sooner or later.FPSfan1985:lol: Laugh all you want.

Pretty much, but dont expect people to agree here. I always get bashed for saying the same thing.
People seem to assume that just because something doesn't work now it will never work in the future lol.
The truth is that these companies will do whatever they can to make and save money. Cutting out shipping and manufacturing costs while keeping their content secure from piracy is a dream come true for publishers.
It will ultimately end up this way, but people continue to laugh it off.
Now I don't think it will end local hardware PCs, at least not up front, but consoles will definitely go this way. Its only a matter of time.

Well if you're talking gaming overall PC clearly is the best option. More games, more games, more games.Yet, we had popularity and competition years before you did...Consoles made that crap mainstream. Now look what happened. Can't tell the difference between BF3, Halo 4, and COD multiplayer. Anyways that's another rant. PC will always reign supreme by the simple fact that it does everything.Cute... herms always forgetting gaming is popular because of consoles, not PC.

Exactly.
Popularity reign: over
Quality reign: never ending
Popularity is completely irrelevant as a measure of anything but corporate profits.

If anything consoles helped make FPS as popular as they are today. If something like COD stayed PC exculisve I doubt very much it would be as big a game right now. And online play would have become popular regardless, just because of the competitive nature of gaming.Cloud gameing will take over sooner or later.FPSfan1985Yeah, im sure OnLive would have loved to hear that.For the foreseeable future its just not practical

Now this is a bit different and hard to disagree, but still reing is based on the extend of the masses, not the quality. Kudos for making a good point.

And online play would have become popular regardless, just because of the competitive nature of gaming. That's because MS saw the quality of the FPS genre on PC and bought it over to Consoles. That's why the Xbox was made. Yeah they did help make the FPS genre popular, just look at how low quality COD is. Like that poster said.. Quality>Popularity..Oh sorry, but I missed the part where this was about FPSs, not gaming overall. :roll:

[QUOTE="FPSfan1985"]Cloud gameing will take over sooner or later.MW2ismygameYeah, im sure OnLive would have loved to hear that. Yeah because things can't improve at all right.... If console makers had this mentality they would have stopped at the Magnavox Odyssey.

I'm not saying this is exclusively about the FPS genre. But FPS is the most played genre this gen(this is a fact) and that PC was the first to have that genre. Lets not just talk about FPS, but multiplayer which is now popular on consoles, but was originally on PC since the 90s...Reread that son. But even if that was what I was saying it's possible.Clusters of computers rendering a game for a pc :lol:

You just talking about scale, I can grant you that, but like some other guy said consoles made FPSs even more popular than PC... ask a random guy in the street about Halo and about Half Life and see what happens.

When I said Multiplayer.. I meant online Multiplayer, my bad.. As for making FPS genre popular, sure.. The only console FPS I like is Halo. Consoles dumbed down FPS.. Just look at COD, Ghost Recon, Battlefield Bad Company, Medal of Honor, Crysis, etc.. Like that poster said quality>popularity. I'd rather play Arma over Call of Duty..Please Log In to post.
