"I agree with a lot of what
"I agree with a lot of what you say, but regarding PC versus consoles, I don't think PC gaming will ever drive away console gaming, no matter how low the cost of PC gaming becomes in relation to consoles. PC and console gaming are by and large two very different beasts. You mention consoles having to offer unparalleled experiences, well they already do that."
May I say unparallel experience in ease of manipulation and pleasure in viewing? Everything that the consoles offer can be matched by a PC. The PC user though has to have a technical expertise to match the console capabilities.
"There are a couple of crossover genres like FPS and sports, but the variety of games available are generally vastly different. A gamer who likes fighting games, JRPG's, platforming, action, etc., will find little to play on the PC, just as gamers who like simulation games, puzzle games, RTS's, CRPG's, etc, will need to stick to PC gaming for the most part. Things still haven't changed much in that respect in the last 15-20 years, despite more and more gamers of both platforms, and easier portability of games between PC's and consoles (especially between PC's and Microsoft's consoles)."
The FPS is a great challenge and drives a lot of the Gaming market. FPS alone can drive someone to a Platform. For instance I would love to see what will happen with Crysis 2. About platforming and action I agree the PS3 is excellent in this aspect. By the way where is the famous and higly anticipated JRPG FF XIII? Ah there it is... due to March 2010, I am interested to see also if the expected hype in JRPG is a reality through the sales.
"You also have to consider that consoles are the only real choice for party gaming, which has become increasingly popular as the appeal of gaming has spread (as typified by the Wii). How many multiplayer games have you played with friends in front of your PC monitor, compared to in front of your TV on a console? I imagine it's no contest. So console gaming definitely does offer things PC gaming doesn't, and perhaps never will."
How many multiplayer games have you played with friends in front of your PC monitor? Answer : None.
How many multiplayer games have you played with friends in front of your TV on a console? Some. Although I did not buy the games they brought them with them with their own sixaxis. All they had to bring with them is the controller and a Blu-Ray. I provided my 40'' Bravia, the PS3 and Popcorn on some cold winter weekends. :-)
The point though is that there exist multiplayer games on the Internet for PCs/Consoles which drive a huge amount of Gamers may I say the most?
The real party (i would say social gatherer) console is wii. I agree with this, it is the choise of most parents with small children. wii can really close the genre gap between a parent and a child. :-)
