[QUOTE="zomgwtfbbqlol1"][QUOTE="kenshinhimura16"][QUOTE="zomgwtfbbqlol1"] [QUOTE="Dark_man123"]People who look for jaggies in a game are not true gamers, were we all like this back in olden days?kenshinhimura16
though you do make a point....... the real point is ppl want the best possible, who cares if current gen consoles top the best looking PC games of last gen, bcz PC now has games like Crysis, and WiC, and Stalker: CS...
but w/e happy gaming...
If people want the best, why is PC gaming dying (in terms of sales) and why is the Wii so popular. Kind of negates your point.
pc isnt dying, and Wii is popular to ppl who have never played video games and they needa start sumwere, heck my 1st game wasnt crysis i can tell u that much, Wii is reaching out to draw more ppl into the gaming market, trust me by next gen most of the casuals of now will be looking for something "better."and which is why the next nintendo console will be 'more hardcore' (if you know what i mean) than the wii currently is
You should check the news section a bit. 3 big companies Capcom, Ubisoft and Crytek have reported a high decrease in sales due to piracy. Even with piracy, consoles sell more, even Carmack said so. People care about having good graphics, and amazing gameplay, normal gamers, which represent the most of the gaming world, dont look for jaggies in the games, anyone knows that. Invite a non hardcore gamer and he wont be saying, "hey this jas a lot of jaggies, this has an FPS drop, etc" in fact, he wont know what that means. Why do you think consoles are beating the living crap out of PCs, gen after gen? Isnt it weird when a PC game scratches the million a month or more after release and a console reaches 3 millions in less than a month? The something better that those supposedly new gamers will look is another console. Believe it or not, for most of those gamers, the PC is to much trouble to keep up with, installations, weird slang that they dont know about, etc. You and I know what Im talking about. Installing a game is no walk in the park. You have to choose a destination folder, check that your hardware can run it, open the command board to maximize the settings, recheck definitions, AA, shaders, etc to see where can I run this game.
A normal gamer wont do that, and when he realises that he cant keep a PC for 6 years, but he can with a console, its a no brainer where he will move to. Another thing that hurts PC is the lack of used games. The last GS reports show that most of their income comes from selling used games. They buy newly released games back at 15-20 greens, but sell them at 40+, and lets not talk about other games as the ones in the SMT franchise which go over 80 dollars. There is a saying or more like a sort of equation: for every customer you keep, you are losing 10. That is why Nintendo will most likely keep its current trend when the next console is released. Its much more simple to get new customers, than to keep the old ones.
lol... i understand some ppl arnt that computer savy, but with companies like EA making affordable gaming setups and companies like Acer with there own gaming line, PC gaming is growing. and installoing a game is pretty easy...also PC games that are online and use CD keys have little piracyand hardware has become a biggy for PC now, example when i open crysis it shows "intel quad core" and "Nvidia"
neways besides that theother argument was about nintendo drawing casuals into gaming and how next gen the casuals of this gen will be looking for more than what simple games the wii offers
