Okay Dumbass :rolleyes:

Consoles are the wave of the future riding in like XBOX in pure High Defintion 1080i and 16:9 support with unbelivable amounts of storage, insane speed, and mind rendering graphics.

I have done the same got an xbox and now hooked on it, but I am still loyal to pc & always will be. Besides with pc you can make mods and in broadband it runs at the speed of single player game.

Games are developed on PCs so its always going to be a viable platform. PCs are also turning into media centres rather than tools for work and word processing so the future still looks bright.

Every year the same topic is brought up and magazines (Console and multiplatform at least) say PCs are on the way out. Thats normal though, they wont be winning over many fans if they say that PCs are where all the action is.

I think PCs have every advantage over consoles. First of all, consoles don't have the range of input devices available for PCs. And the input devices they do have don't have the number of keys as a keyboard or the flexibility of a mouse. If you could match up a PC gamer and a console gamer in the same FPS, the PC gamer with the mouse would cream the console gamer. You can't match the precision and flexibility of a PC's input devices.

Then there's the issue of storage. And upgradeability. And the many other things you can use a PC for that a console could never be used for. You can't go from playing music, to writing a research paper, to browsing the Internet, to playing a game with a console.

PC games aren't going anywhere.

Biggest change I could see happening in coming years is that people get more tired of "shooter" things as a genre and demand more variety and creativity. As capabilities theoretically increase, I'd expect games get even more intricate, and just shooting things eventually comes to seem relatively boring.

If anything, consoles may become more-and-more PC like (adding keyboards for more complex games and such, allowing hardware upgrades...). *Should* things start to shift towards consoles, there are a lot of major tech companies with significant interest in keeping games on PC's who would likely end up making their own stuff if they had to after mergers and the like (Intel, ATI/Nvidia, etc.)....

pc games arent dying - cos console games are just arcade style games, if you want a proper simulation then it has to be the PC imo. Besides how can you play a first poerson shooter witha control pad - you have to have a mouse!! :p :p

i refuse to play any fps on consoles with joypad, quake2 on psx was a prime example. you just dont have the presicion. usb mouse/keyboard worked fine in q3revolution on ps2. but barring that, its pointless. one reasone why i think halo and metroid prime were over hyped shyte. fuking dog poo they were for me. yet they got top marks

There are some types of games that just wouldn't be the same on a console, strategy games (I wouldn't want to play one without a mouse, and a TV would make it hard to see everything), FPS games (they have those but as Tom said with autoaim). A solution could be to have a mouse connected to the console.

I think I may have voted wrong. I said that PC gaming rules, and it does. But, I think that in the next few years, it will be gone. Not because the games are bad, or that no one is buying them, but because I really think that PC's are going the way of "entertainment center PC's". So, I think you PC will be your Stereo, DVD Player, Recorder, and, gaming machine.

So, I think the console market and PC gamming market will merge. Look at the xBox. One step closer...

Nah PC games will always be a strong bunch.

With the addition of the AMD64, graphics cards running at incredible rates and other hardware development, its great.

PCs are not only workstations, internet usage, media centres but also gaming systems and servers.

Why get a console when you have have the same game on PC thats looks incredible?

Anyhoos

Because PC gaming just isn't as easy as console gaming to the average consumer, the ones who buy 10's of millions of games. With the introduction of Longhorn and technologies such as just sticking a disc in and playing like console gaming then maybe, yeah. But for now the fact that it takes way, way too much effort to play games on a PC for the average bob is holding it back in terms of revenue.
