See how with all these talks about console is the future of gaming and the way how it seems like developers prefer to develop for consoles only right. Isn't it the PC market that pushes technology forward and the console just picks up on that technology and integrates it?
Let's say hypothetically developers decide to stop developing first grade games for PC, and all PC gamers gets are ports of games that have been released on consoles long before. Wouldn't that drive down the PC gaming market to the point where PC gamers would move onto console games? Which leads to low demands for newer hardware such as videocards and cpus. Then in turn there'll be less money into development of new hardware which at the same time also increases their cost.
I mean, people arent gonna spend thousands on new computer and have no games to play on it right? And consoles gamers aren't gonna accept new consoles being released every year. But eh, just a thought. All I know is that I spent $1000 to upgrade my computer and theres nothing new to play. Bioshock played on console, GTA4 chances are will get for console since who knows when it'll come out on the PC, assassins creed isnt even out yet so I'm just gonna get on on the console.
