+1

Consoles still have good games though. You really can't expect the masses to build a $1,500 rig to play the latest games. This is a growing trend and prob won't stop any time soon.

Not bad. I miss the days when a game selling 500k copies was considered good...

Crysis and warhead sold a combined 4.5 + million copies. HOW is that not enough to remain a PC developer?!?!?!?!

**** you crytek


Um, who needs a $1500 computer to play the latest games? I built my computer for $700 bucks 3 years ago and have upgraded the graphics card once for 200 bucks. Ive been able to play the latest games the whole time, and at 1920x1080.

I agree with almost every letter in this article, but in the comments they DO make very very good points...
Console gaming is a lot cheaper (problably the reason their games cost more -_-)
the console itself costs less then my GPU and this is probably THE reason why people will go for consoles over PC.
I myself can't stand console controllers... they are clumsy and inaccurate but still... a lot cheaper.
also with consoles you'll never wonder things like... 'will i be able to run this game?? :o' and having to spend a few hundred bucks on upgrading your system.

However I still, very much agree with this whole article...
imo, consoles must die because they are indeed destroying it for us PC gamers...

Where are the good old days when playstation games where for the playstation and not for Playstation, Xbox, Wii, and PC... -_-

Very very good read. So true unfortunately. I'm so glad DICE refuses to do a console port. :D

Have you guys seen the gameplay? Man it's gonna be a incredible PC game.
