(actually true story. I was at a party back in the school days, and I sat on the couch and let out a surprised yelp, i just sat on a book stuck in the couch. Everyone looked as I reached back and pulled out Steven Hawkings, "A brief history of time"...so a little embarrased by the unwanted attention, i proclaimed, "By god! I just pulled the universe outta my prettythang". Leave out the jokes ok...I don't wanna hear about black holes or brown dwarfs, I heard 'em all that night).

The article mentioned that PC gamers are migrating to consoles. And, I laughed when I read it.

Market share of PC gamers is decreasing steadily.

RIght now the PC market is about 1/4th to 1/3rd of the overall videogames market. Rest goes to the consoles. PS2 games market is on its own easily double, triple the PC market.

Nothing to laught about. PC players buy less and less games, while number of console owners increases.

I was laughing because - as far as I'm concerned - PC gameplay is 1,000 more fun than ANY console game. And, gamepads are ghey.

There's really only a couple of things keeping PC games alive as a viable market. MMOGs, and the upgradability and sheer power of the PC platform as compared to consoles.

The biggest draws of the X Box? Comes with everything you have to buy extra with a PS2, has a hard drive for saving information instead of plug-in chips, and it's upgradeable. Why? Because it's based on a PC.

As long as companies can put their showiest and most graphically intense game versions on a PC as advertising to draw console gamers, and as long as a MMOG community exists, PC games are safe. If you doubt a game company would ever put economics ahead of customers, just remember EA.
