i dont think there are many developers out there who are stupid enough to assume every console game sells like Halo and COD :PThe problem with developers these days is that they look at COD, Halo, etc., see them getting huge sales and therefore assume that every console game sells that way. Everyone thinks they have what it takes to create the next COD. In reality, the console FPS business is a cut-throat one. For many companies, it is better and less riskier to stay in niche genres with niche audiences. That way they can focus on what they're good at and will still make a ton of money.
Take Crytek. They would have been far more successfull with Crysis 2 had it been a PC exclusive, or maybe timed-exclusive with a later port to consoles, or even like what DICE is doing, where the PC is the lead platform. Had they created a true successor, both in terms of graphics and, most importantly, gameplay, PC sales would have been huge.

This should clear that up.

I, and most people who own consoles, don't buy many games. I've only owned maybe 10 this entire generation. Saving money on games because you buy dozens upon dozens doesn't really apply to most people. Many console gamers do buy tons of games,but even if it was like you said and they only bought like,10 games per gen,even if you bought only one,a single one at full price out of those 10,on the PC you could get at least 20(or even more)on a steam sale for less than the price of that game,and probably still end up having enough left to buy a few more. That´s the beauty of it.[QUOTE="thesmiter"][QUOTE="Arach666"] Speaking of saving money...
Yeah.

I mean,like the fella in the vid says,imagine if you bought Metro 2033 on your 360. By the time that THQ pack was on sale on steam,Metro 2033 was at 49.99 on the 360....but with that pack you´d get not only Metro 2033 but all THQ games on steam for a simliar price. That´s like,over 20 games for the price you paid for Metro 2033 alone on the 360. It´s almost like if you went to the store and went to buy Metro 2033 for 49.99 and they,just like that,gave you 20 games for free just because of that lol.
It´s just one of so many examples.
Well if i was a console player i would have just rented metro for peanuts.....and the hate for consoles in this thread is unreal...seriously guys they arent THAT bad considering they are cheaper than a high end gpu....I doubt that very much...whats the best card you could get in 2006? 8800 ultra? Which costed an arm and a leg back then....also that card would seriously struggle at 1920x1200 in newer games and running non native resolutions in most monitors looks terrible![QUOTE="dom2000"][QUOTE="AzatiS"] Bro , my PC costed 750euros , i bought it 5 months AFTER PS3 release when PS3 costed in my country 600euros with no game at that time, and im still playing games at 1920x1200. Games like Dead space 2 etc etc . And i wont change this rig till consoles next gen. And if i drop my resolutions/settings to 720p , its almost sure ill survive even into 2014 ( assuming this is the date PS4/x720 coming ). Thats 8 years to 9 of a "cheap" rig. Nowdays a rig of 450 destroys mine for sure. As of time i dont get what you mean time. To install a game? \ As for this overeacting about customization ( not you just generally )....How is a mere 20seconds ( which many games have auto settings depends your rig which is 1 second ) or even 1 minute time consuming!!? But ok , i respect your opinion , at least you giving valid reasons why you dont like it . different tastes i guess.NoodleFighter
Consoles don't run games in 1080p either and are t 720p or less for the majority of titles I guess console games look hideous since they Aren't at 1080p of peoples HDTVs.
Im well aware of that...however your generally not as close to the tv as you are to a pc monitor so its disguised somewhat! To really blow the consoles away in terms of visuals you are going to be paying significantly more and thats a fact! Mid end cards simply dont cut it at 1920x1200 when playing the metros and crysiss of this world...not to mention battlefield 3!
