[QUOTE="XenogearsMaster"]PC gaming is dying.
You have to be really blind not to see that.

It's your vision that needs checking.
It's estimated there are 200 million PC gamers worldwide. Think about it, if you combine the userbases of the GameCube, Wii, Xbox, 360, PS2 and PS3 and you assume that all their sales came from different people (ie, nobody had any two of these consoles) and that nobody ever had to buy a second console (360 RROD and PS2 DRE), there are still more PC gamers.
This year alone, an estimated 16 million Dx10 GPUs are going to be sold. 16 million is also less than half of all Dx9 GPUs that will be sold, leaving decent GPUs at about 48 million this year alone. That's more than all next gen consoles combine will sell this year.
Research shows in Q1 of 2007 78.8 million GPUs were shipped. Before youtry and claim these GPUs were cheap and incapable of running games like Crysis, the same research also shows nearly 73% of all cards sold were 'performance', ranging in price from $150-$249, and less than 7% were workstation designed for non-gaming uses.
In terms of library PC gaming once again has the most AAAE and AAE exclusives of this generation and this year, and the most genre diversity represented of any system.
The only thing 'dead' is your argument.
i bet everyone will ignore this post
