People say that PC is going to die in gaming every single time that a new consol came out. To be frank I’m getting tired of it I hear it so much

Do people not realize that they get the technology for the consoles from leading PC DEVELOPERS.. Contrary to popular belief, No , they don’t pull the technology out of their asses. Consols are just a toy, a temporary thing thats going to beat eventually by a bigger and better toy and get tossed aside.

Besides they haven't put anything good out since the super nintendo days. Nothing beats nes or snes. And I will strike you with a ladle for saying otherwise

Well RPGs don't need leveling up. I agree mario isn't a real RPG but Zelda is an Action RPG (says so on the box

)

Role Playing Game
A game in which you play the role of a person/character in a specific scenario. Thus enacting your own story as you play along. RPGs now are stereotyped by leveling up and experience points but that doesn't mean that other games that don't have those systems aren't RPGs.

yeah but in your post one can replace the text "PC" with "Mac OS" and replace "console" with "Windows."

I was just using your post to make my statement

I anticipate flame from "Mac-haters"

people still use rotary phones.

PC games will always be around but they have past their heyday. Take a trip to your local video game store and note the placement of PC games. All the way in the back corner.

Cable internet and better resolution on computer monitors are the only things keeping the PC gaming market going. The former I'm sure is being worked on, and the latter is already here.

Oh that and the fact that computer users tend to be higher income then on average. Good demo to target, which is the third reason companies still make the games for PC's. There still is some money there. But that goes away once the first two reasons happen.

When I was a kid I used to hang out in the arcades. Once atari came out, I had no reason to go there anymore. Some day our PC will be like the piano at your grandmothers house. It's a nice piece of furniture for displaying photos, and gets used once in awhile during the holidays, but other then that it's just there.

Eveything you can do on computers as far as communications, video, audio, gaming will all shift completely over to the tv sometime in the next 20 years. Maybe sooner.
