For the last several decades people have been claiming that PCs and PC games were dying. Even back to the 80s people were claiming PCs were just a fad that no one could afford one let alone want one. |

Problem is the only thing left I use my PC for is work and EvE, rest is on my phone or iPad, when this PC dies I will just get a console and that will be the end of the PC era that started with my first IBM XT.

I don't own a TV, Consol or a Desktop.
I just have a laptop and when it gets to old I will replace it with a better laptop.
I play EVE (The only game I play) and watch all my TV and even read books on it..
Can't think of a reason to own anything else.

**** the console-kiddies.
Yeah, I said it.
Because they are shallow, weak, easily -led by shiny, and everything else that a proper old-school PC gamer is not, and their toxic, pay-to-win slime-dripping blight of a mentality makes me ill.
And most of all:
Because **** them, that's why.
That is all.

Meh, I couldn't give an eff to what platform I play on. I'm in it for the games. Though if its multiplatform I'll generally choose Xbox, cause I like the controller better than a keyboard and mouse. |

Depends on the next console generation, and if they stamp out the second hand games market with it. If they do I think we'll see a lot of defectors to PC gaming for the cheap games, albeit on expensive hardware. I know you can't resell steam games, but if you picked it up in one of their sales for a few quid/bucks/euros, what the hell?
Of course if Sony and MS don't commit commercial suicide, PC gaming will probably die as the sales drop. After all we get now are console ports anyway, PC exclusives are a rare beast now pretty much limited to MMOs and Civilisation.
I wonder if the PC console divide is largely down to what we grew up with? Those of us who are older gamers are more likely have grown up with PC gaming, so that's what we've stuck with. Younger gamers more likely grew up with consoles and the only PC in the house being a laptop, and likely to be a fairly basic one, so have only ever gamed on consoles. As gamers get older we are more likely to acquire greater demands on our time and will either quite gaming entirely or only have a few hours a week to game, hence buying less games. I wonder if this is the cause behind the decline of PC gaming? |

Not in my case. I started with the Atari and played NES and SNES before we got our first PC. Then I discovered the newly-released Wolfenstein 3D, and Dune II, and then moved on to Doom and X-COM and X-Wing and C&C and WarCraft. I quickly discovered that I much preferred the depth and complexity of games that required keyboard and mouse input, and that was the end of my interest in console games.

PC gaming is bigger now than it ever was. It's just a smaller percentage of the overall gaming market. Consoles are more accessible: they're easier to set up, have fewer technical problems, and are much easier to start using. They have mass appeal that PCs will never be able to match.

the thing i like best about people talking crap about pc gaming is when my friend tells me his xbox has more video graphic memory (ie better graphics in games) than pc games....LOL
i build gaming pc's for a living. so i showed him my current rig and the video card that is currently in it. the video card alone, i think gtx 470 atm, the card ITSELF is bigger than the whole xbox almost. about the same size maybe a bit smaller. but thats JUST the graphics, not to mention the superior processor cores that go into PC's over xbox. my friend, not being tech savvy at all, doesnt understand that pc graphics are obviously superior to console graphics i cant understand why he doesnt get it i mean just LOOK at the parts that make up a computer vs an xbox...
w/e at least my computer doesnt get the damned ring of death. BOOYAKASHA! |

If it wasn't for steam and its winter/summer sales, it might've been closer to "dead". I'm glad Valve stepped up for pc gaming. |

PC will probably never die, but it is no longer the king of games, console is and will remain the gamers choice. PC died when the original xbox took the shooter crown from PC.
now you can cry, kick, scream, say I am wrong all you want, but deep down every pcfanboy knows console is where the gamers are, many gamers do both, but very few if any remain solo to PC. |

I fail to see any difference, nor superiority of PC over console with that video, mostly fast-paced FPS... or is it about the music??

Well, I for one stopped owning consoles after the Sega Genesis.
Only thing I bought after that was a PS1 and DS that quickly ended given away to family.
And Im not alone, several of my friends barely own a wii, and I was forced to buy one for my wife.
Console games are totally lost on me. Never liked em after a while and really regret the move to consoles, but to say FEW if ANY people around game on PC is a total fallacy.
These days I only play on what few spare hours I have on PC, mostly DOTA2 and current MMOs plus steam pc games on sale I can find.
If I wanted to mash buttons as I get neural spammed by bright lights and odd sounds I would probably play a console. Fact is, im the guy that plays with low or no sound and low lights. Sheer walls of text filled with data are usually something I enjoy and to be honest Im the kind of old skool gamer that makes along a story as I play anything trying to generate a script of and adventure in my mind and acting it out ingame. Even when I played Thief back in the day I usually moved bodies around and crawled along nooks and crannies even when no one was on radar just to keep it in character. A habit I got from text based muds and perhaps Zork.
I am perhaps a dinosaur in gaming terms, but really, theres a lot of people out there like me, else GOG or STEAM would never exist. Besides I dont see myself playing a MMO or the weird Indy games I enjoy on a Console lately.
Not out of sheer hardware power, but mostly out of the fact PC games usually have titles that have something more to than FPS fragging and endless grinding of buttons.
I am actually enjoying several games over and over that allow modding like Warband and even ones that are mostly console ports like FO3 and FNV.
PC Game dying? naaa, mostly evolving into a niche market. And everyone knows niche markets are profitable, and steam catched on on it.
Also , remotely related , we are heading towards an Open Source bonanza, places where monolithic behemoths like EA or Sony will never be able to touch, monoliths that screwed game after game after game for the sheer stupidity of greed.
I welcome the Ouya:http://www.ouya.tv/
We need to evolve. Proprietary software is the demise of innovation.
When consoles are truly open source and everyone can tap into it and develop without the pressure of greed, you will see PC and Console gaming fused into a new generation of real free gaming.
Thats the future, not the limited triple AAA games that get churned over and over every year.

I actually don't have many apps on my iphone and I don't own a tablet, mostly because I have no use for one. The entire app list on my iphone consists of the swtor authenticator, angry birds, office jerk, the gmail authenticator, pandora and pac-man, outside of the standard phone features.
To be completely honest, PC gaming won't die and consoles aren't going anywhere new. Iphones/tablets and other mobile stuff aren't a threat because the computing power and control functions simply don't exist for any game worthy of being called an "aaa title".
In my opinion, anyone saying pc/computer gaming is dying is overhyping it and doesn't fully understand why they're wrong, or simply thinks they're right by virtue of not being able to be wrong to begin with.
Someone tell me when an iphone can run eve with full controls and rendering detail without a hiccup. |

Hell no. In fact, I'd say it is getting stronger.
Despite the decline in game sales, Steam consistently turns a larger profit with each year. |

I play on both sides of the track.
PC: Strategy games and MMOs, mostly.
Console: Basically everything else. |
