i doubt it....
First and for most... FEW people are buying pc's now a days. They are buying notebooks... ON TOP OF THAT, your average consumer is going to click the intel extreme graphics option for their notebook instead of the nvidia or ati card.

And last... go to a setting where you would see plenty of casuals or non gamers.... For example i currently work at radio shack... My fellow employees and I always have casual conversations about video games, sports, girls etc.... They know about halo 3, they know about the games on the ps3 and the 360, but they have no damn clue what the hell hellgate london is or what crysis is(two of the biggest games comming for the pc). They also have no damn clue what direct x 10 is.

There are more casuals than hardcore gamers and none of the care a rats ass what crysis is or what direct x 10 is. If you think pc gaming is a bigger industry you FAIL. Its all about supply and demand, and walking into a eb games store you can see the demand for pc gaming(virtualy NONE). There is literally ONE SHELF of pc games and accesories.

Well, while you're basing your theories on isolated personal experience, I'm basing it on the numerous sales numbers in this thread. You don't buy a gaming PC at EBgames. Try again.

lol....

Its estimated that 16 million DX10 cards will be sold this year....

They're multiplatform.

The term console exclusive is damage control used to eliminate a platform to create some kind of illusionary first place to claim ownage over other console fans.

pc gaming is a small market. console exclusivity is very important considering nintendo, microsoft and sony are not competing with pcs.

in truth, its a double edged blade. a game is not exclusive period if it can be found elsewhere. conversely, the denial of the importance of console exclusivity is damage control also.

That's ridiculous. PC gaming is a larger market than any of the current gen consoles, none of which have sold much more than 10 million. There are PC games that have sold more than that (the Sims, for example).

Now tell me how pc's are out there compared to 360's and ps3's that can run crysis smoothly?

More than enough, considering consoles aren't even close to being able to run Crysis. If you're going to compare specs, compare the number of PCs that can play 360 or PS3 games. Quite a lot, I would think.

Crysis.

Resolutions higher than 1080p as standard.

Mouse & Keyboard work with all games which is a huge advantage for FPS & RTS games.

If you are playing racing or other genres of games you can use the xbox360's controller!

Compatible with all previous generation games.

If you build it yourself you can get a decent rig that will play current gen games fine for the same price as a xbox360 + HDTV! (please dont argue with this, people have tried before but fail every time. Thankyou)

In November a new range of graphics cards will come out that will allow PC gamers to move onto what i believe to be a next generation ingraphics! G92

Mods

DirectX 10

The most AAA and AA games available by far!

Thats all i can think of for now.

Lemmings have to admit ownage on this, it's so messed up not too. If this happened on the PS3 it would cause a nuclear war, but on Xbox 360, "oh it's fine the game still looks good besides talking to people is gameplay". I find it a bit unfair, especially after the constant "lol FF13 is all CGI!!!!!!"

Oh and yes i realize the game will still be very good but that wasn't the point i was trying to make.

mangobear

Thankyou, I'm glad another 360 owner can admit being fooled to think that the gameplay will look that good. more 360 owners need to admit this after the constant ps3 cgi bashing

[QUOTE="alfy13"]lol i love it when the lemmings where hyping the cinamatic screens to be game play footage. guess down grade confirmed? alfy13

Kinda like how the cows were hyping the Killzone trailers to be actual gameplay?? :shock:

yep

just like the cows hyping kill zone. so prett y much masseffect is lemmings form of kill zone 2. hyping cinimatic graphics as game play footage.

Small difference there huh?

[QUOTE="LiquidMetal14"]As good as that list is for MSFT fans, don't forget the strong showing SONY is going to have. I think we can come to some agreement that Sony may have the bigger stable of high profile games in developement from its 1st and 3rd party studios. When people say that "even half the rumored list will blow away SOny", that is speaking way ahead of yourself. If anyone thinks Sony does will not bring the heat at E3 then you're kidding yourselves. Again, that MSFT lineup of rumors looks interesting but the stuff Sony is holding holds far more appeal than what is on that "rumored" list. It's a matter of when they will show their full stable of games, and some that are not known to the public yet. It will be interesting to see how much Sony reveals at E3.Verge_6

You say;

and the THEN proceed to say;

.....right.
