Just what i was going say.PC gaming will die the day before Duke Nukem Forever is released.
For every one person savvy enough to pirate and crack games, there are ten more that don't know their computer from a lawnmower and who will buy the game legit. Piracy has been around forever, and it hasn't stopped companies from developing all sorts of software on the PC (not just games)
Ahem... Let's take a look at the consoles recent and upcoming titles
Gears of War2
Ninja Gaiden2
Metal Gear4
GTA4
Devil May Cry4
Call of Duty4
Resident Evil5
Halo3
Fable2
Rainbow Six Vegas2
Mario KartWii
Super Smash BrosWii
Guitar Hero3
Super MarioWii
God of War3
Plus football, soccer, baseball, need for speed updates 08 and 09... we're not looking at a very original lineup for consoles either. Doesn't mean they're bad or going to be bad, but don't put the blame on pcs - especially when developers flock to consoles specifically for the fact that they can churn out shit and know that there are enough people with consoles to support their laziness.

I think to sum up PC Gaming:
1. As soon as new consoles come out and match High end PC Gaming rigs the majority of people (including myself!) Say PC Gaming is dead.
2. When the current gen onsoles have been out a year or 2 Cheap/decent gaming rigs and even laptops easily match/outperform them ie nvidia 9600gt and core 2 duo processors and oodles of ram getting real affordable prices (this is the cue for people to say PC Gaming is very much alive!)
3. Then we go in a complete circle and go back to point 1.
Pretty much sums up pc gaming if you ask me. I ditched my pc gaming rig a while back but im about to pick up a semi cheap 17" sony laptop for all the 360 games i love plus the pc exclusives like trackmania etc.
Lets see now, S.T.A.L.K.E.R: Clear Sky. Oh that's right, sorry console gamers, but you can't have this!
Crysis Warhead? Oh sorry, you can't have that either consoles.
PC gaming will die the day before Duke Nukem Forever is released.

To make full use of all those games youd have to buy all three consoles and pay the higher console game price!
Not to mention that there are too many sequels.
Why would anyone care that they don't get crysis? That game was shit on the pc, the dev dumped all support for it, and expect us to lap up another one that's supposedly going to fix the unplayability and shitty optimization that they left in the first one....yeah, i'm so psyched for that....
Consoles however are horribly outdated already compared to modern PC hardware.
A HD 4870 for example is, as ATI noted, "more powerful than every game console [ever released] combined".

haha, what an irrelevant quote. like that means anything at all. It's funny that the only propaganda they spout to support cutting edge pc gaming is related to touting how much raw horsepower there is compared to consoles.. god forbid they talk about the game lineup.
yet again it's apparent that with PC gamers like hamidxa, all that matters is hardware and graphics.

Hey console fanboys by and large couldnt thump their chests fast enough when the (now current gen) consoles first launched -- touting how great of a deal they supposedly were, or how they cant be beat in terms of price/performance, or about how they put to shame many PCs out there.
Now the shoe is on the other foot (and has been for quite some time mind you), but especially with the advent of these new 4800 series GPU's at their amazing price points, why shouldn't we state the obvious?
When in reality, the truth of the matter was that even then, PC's were more powerful than any one of those consoles, but that power came with a steep price, admittedly...but such is NOT the case anymore.
So, why shouldn't we state that consoles by comparison appear horribly outdated already, and cards such as the HD 4870 and 4850 nullify the argument that PC gaming is too expensive.
When an HD 4850 for example, can run a game such as COD4 at 2x the res, 4x the AF, 2-3x the AA of consoles and still net better framerates for only $199, you better damn well bet that it's something to be appreciative of and thus commend.
