Hahaha and people wonder why modern warfare doesn't get any better...
 

yeah.... but the new consoles will be pure 1080p  and 3D ready and I will buy a new one as a result. So will millions of others... I find this more like a "If the world stayed the same form today forward" way of thinking instead of real life... "Change"... lol

I was just making a post about this on www.evga.com/gaming.  Great find!

According to the chart, about 2x ahead. o.0;

For me, I'll always stay with the PC, ofc sometimes consoles gaming is better (I personally liked the Splinter Cell Double Agent PS2 version WAAAAAAAAY better than the PC version, also some console exclusives that I like to play), but I'll always stick to the pc

Forget Consoles most of the guys that play that are not too swift or end up in Jail lmao doh. Once I found out PC's played better and took more thinking I said were do i sign up.
Console Means: Donkey Brains frozen

Mmmmmm, Donkey Brains...........

yea usually when new consoles come out they are equal to a decent gaming PC BUT when the next newest batch of PC hardware comes out the console is now obsolete because the console parts can't be swapped out!!! PC power will ALWAYS be equal(for a couple months) or greater than console.........But the biggest deal breaker is the games. Devs could simply walk away from PC and get into consoles then the top shelf PC hardware is now a paper weight...

 
At this time, consoles are the economical choice for PC illiterate gamers. <<< This alone is what keeps consoles alive.

I sure hope this is true!

Considering PC gaming has been putting consoles to shame since.... how about "forever?" -- yes, ... since always, it's no surprise. Only console fans think the console ever threatened PCs. It never has and never will.
 
The thing about console sales is they often fudge the stats and the numbers. There's a plethora of fly-by-night cookie cutter clone games that sell for $5 each but are absolute trash. They reuse the same code over and over (often times re-using Mortal Kombat or some such) and just paste the latest movie's graphics over the top.
 
These games suck and blow at the same time and nobody plays them for more than a few minutes, but millions of them are made, so they count that in console sales.
 
If they just tallied a nice sampling of the major titles, it's no contest (unless you start counting titles ONLY released on consoles like some HALO games, etc).
 
So, in the end PCs have never been behind consoles as far as gaming. They (the consoles) only like to claim that by fudging facts and making up numbers to justify their own profit margins. I'm not "against" consoles per se... I don't like them as much as PC gaming personally, but what I hate is how they (mis)represent themselves and the overall market to further their own agenda.

If consoles weren't made by the GAME producers/labels themselves, and sold for a massive loss which was intended to be recouped by sales from games, then they would cost $1000 or more.
 
The only reason they are economical is because the game labels are running both sides, whereas software/hardware are separate industries with regards to PCs and don't pool profits/losses.

There's also the fact that PCs allow for more than just gaming. You get full multimedia, interactive web, media, you get audio setup (itunes, or whatever, docking your ipod, etc), as well as gaming, as well as word processing, as well as work and video editing, etc.
 
So you spend $500 for one machine that games... Then you spend $500 more for a laptop that you use for e-mail, typing, personal use. Or you get every function a PC can perform for 1 price and now own a machine that can do anything you ask of it, instead of just "run games or movies on your TV"...
 
Again, it's false numbers. A console doesn't cost only $500, and a PC doesn't just "cost more" -- you have to ask what you're getting for what you're paying. If the PC replaces 3,4,5 other machines, at 50% of the total of all those machines, but you take a single component, say a PS3, and compare to a PC it's a false comparison.
 
There never has been a comparison. Like I said, only console fans or promoters think consoles EVER threatened PCs in any way. The only threat they give to PC gamers is the trickle-down effect of low-quality game design. Console ports, etc, suck compared to full PC designs. Just things like mouse clicks, 104 keys, fully scalable graphics, etc.

Forecasts are based on current and historical trends, they couldn't possibly take what will be into account.
 
I don't think it means what we we think it means, i.e. not a matter of popularity biased by our love for it.  Because the prediction is based on revenue predictions, it can clue into a combination of inflation or rising unit prices.

Yah, not sure what they mean, I think a large reason console is popular is because it's an easy button. Some don't know anything accept to push it, some do know a lot technically and don't want to deal with anything, just come home and push it. I just don't see that changing much in it's popularity between the two.
 
I personally would rather be able to upgrade my system and build it, not have to pay subscriptions, and have the best gaming experience possible, as strange as that may sound.

amen.......I think microsoft and sony have found its easier to make something that lets people be lazy and PC illiterate because they make people think PC's arent meant for gaming. What people tend to forget is, how are console games made??? By a PC!!!!!  I grew up always wanting to have a PC that could play video games but unfortunately my dad felt it was too expensive(at the time prices were high) so I had to wait til I was just out of high school! I would hate to see it all die because of a little machine that gets outdated quicker(usually in about a year)

 
The thing with consoles is that the consoles are made for CASUAL gamers
 
Which are - just insert the DVD, power-up the console and lets go, also when you're feeling lazy, I mean I had a PS2, whenever I felt like I wanted to play FIFA for instance, I didn't even have to get out of bed
 
With consoles there is no BS with the CPU's, graphics cards, drivers, instalations and so on
 
Thats the better part of the consoles....
