Time and again this question keeps comin to my mind. I have been a PC gamer for the past 7-8 years but i have to ask this question.
IS PC GAMING DYING !?
I have a decent system for now as seen in my sig, however i feel its time i quit PC gaming and move onto the consoles for gaming atleast.
For example X360 was launched late 2005 and still goin strong with new titles and content.
Also the game developers are following this new trend of delaying titles for the PC to avoid piracy all in the name of optimization and PhysX support delays.
There are fewer titles launched each year on the platform unlike back in the day.
The developers port games on the pc mostly nowadays instead of the other way around.
I have realised this a bit too late but maintaining a gaming pc has always been a daunting task and is a never ending upgrade battle every year or so for me.
I spent a good amount on my current system way back when it was launched and this will hardly be of any value next year. This is the most frustrating point on this platform.
I do play on the X360 at work sometimes and it doesnt look all that bad.
Sure i cant tweak the AA, AF and other advanced options but what i get for 16k keeps me happy for a long time without the need to upgrade.
Also the only worthy titles that are PC exclusive will be Diablo III and Starcraft II for which even a mid range card should suffice.
So should i sell my 260 off now and get a 360 ?
Help me make up my mind
