Computer costs limit the PC gaming marketplace

My PC is so old (1999) I am unable to run any game newer than 2003. As a result, I have not bought a new computer game in years. I will not buy a new computer until my current computer either 1) dies or 2) is unable to run a web browser. But someday I will play Company of Heroes!

95% of what I and most people do is on the internet. Further, even ancient computers can store MP3s and view video. But games require more horsepower than I and many other gamers have to spare. I am part of an aging gamer base that grew up on Nintendo (that's right, 8-bit baby) and now has less time and disposable income to spare on frivolties like PC gaming, which can be a costly hobby.

I want to play more advanced games, but the Wii - a gift - has to tide over my gaming desires (and an Ignition dance pad hooked up to Stepmania). Are you listening PC gaming industry? I want to love you, but you are out of my league!!!
