I'm just a product on giga.de stumbled. Here it is argued that because of the lucrative nature of the consoles, the PC as a gaming platform is little more attention. It has recently also true. Sun Pops, such as Alan Wake does not even come for the PC on the market, which was in the case of Alan Wake not really planned that way. Originally, the game coming for the PC and consoles. The developer has, however, summarily umentschlossen and dispense with the PC.

Now some are spinning in this event into such speculations ". The PC is on a descending branch" or "The PC is dying." That will happen but probably never. First off, the fact is that the MMO market is incredibly high on PC's. World of Warcraft has 11 million players. And other MMORPGs on the PC easier to grasp the foot than on the console.

Plug a new pure. Where the memory is not? Building a still a tie. As simple as that and that does not work on the console. The hardware industry will be duly was, however, have to be vegetating the PC as a gaming platform just then. It is indeed their ***** to it since. An office PC's can not earn anything.

The latter will happen but probably not. Look for is some of what would happen if you could replace the hardware on consoles so simple: It would be easy to modding the console to play copied games that also can. And then we had the same problem as the PC market it currently has: that copying the. Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo are therefore not open the console for the end user, so the hardware industry is again funded by the PC gamers.
Also, if you can replace the hardware of the console just what distinguishes this from the PC then? At some point, the console will not console, but a PC. The latter will die again.
