Analysis: Did Consoles Kill the PC as a Gaming Platform?
>> From playfuls.com:
[QUOTE]
During the last month, the launch of Sony's PS3 and Nintendo's Wii consoles and the upgrades the Xbox 360 received, have conquered the attention of the entire mass-media. So how grim is the future of the PC as a gaming platform?
It was somehow normal to ask myself that, since not only did the gaming consoles receive all the attention, but the games for them too. I learned recently that Gears of War sold more than 1 million copies in less than a month (way to go, Microsoft!) and that Zelda for Wii (and other games for it too, like Wii Sports or Red Steel) are also registering stellar sells. Although major titles were also launched for PC this fall (FEAR Extraction Point, Splinter Cell Double Agent, Dark Messiah of Might and Magic, Need for Speed Carbon, PES 6, Call of Juarez or Gothic 3...OMG, and I have not even finished Dark Messiah!...) they did not get so much publicity as before (publishers' strategy to boost sales for consoles?).
This, and other factors that I will mention further on, made me think that maybe the PC as a gaming platform is dying.
