PC gaming vs. console gaming - who is winning?

Ignite Game Technologies compiled data to create an infographic which shows a much clearer image of who is winning the fight between PC gaming and console gaming

Agent-864532d ago (Edited 4532d ago )

Glad I'm a combo gamer and don't have to chose. I have a gaming PC for the multi-plats and superior graphics plus a PS3 for it's great line-up of exclusives. An added benefit is that they're both free to play online; they make a great gaming combo.

Here is my gaming equation: (BF3 on PC) + (Uncharted 3 on PS3) = AMAZING!

NewMonday4532d ago

i was off PC for some time but this is a big year for it:

Witcher 2
Skyrim
BF3

and soon Star Wars MMORPG

Cosmit4532d ago

Who's winning? I'm winning. Own both a gaming PC and PS3. "WINNING" :P

miyamoto4532d ago

How about the pirates and hackers on PC, 360, Wii, PSP. DS, 3DS? Are they winning,too?

AgentWD404532d ago

Uncharted 3 ps3 + forza 4 360 + rbr pc = gaming perfection.

frostypants4532d ago

I play PS3, 360, and PC, but this analysis is crap. $20 says those revenue numbers include F2P/social garbage games. In fact I know they do.

There was another chart posted here a while back that breaks it all out, and when you take out that fluff and focus on core games (i.e. the kind gamers actually think of when we discuss this), PC gaming has been flat at best for years now.

Also, the reliability thing was stupid, as every PC is different and they can be plenty unreliable. Not 360 unreliable, but certainly PS3-level unreliable.

Just a PC fanboy misleading article.

papashango4531d ago

Core games? Would you say world of warcraft is a core game? I'm genuinely interested in your answer

The people who don't care one way or the other are the only true winners.

Shok4532d ago

You can't determine a winner, because the 2 different kinds of platforms aren't even in competition with eachother.

Anyways, glad I'm an open-minded gamer that enjoys his PC and his consoles, so I don't have to choose.

kramun4532d ago

I wasn't aware there was a fight.

All Hopes I Had For A Prey Sequel Have Been Crushed — Well Done, Microsoft

The magnificent Prey was once again abandoned as Microsoft disregarded Arkane Austin's achievements and crucified it just for Redfall.

RaidenBlack1d ago

well, not entirely ... the main Arkane studio i.e Arkane Lyon's still there ...
Its only that, the sequel will take more time now ... after Blade & Dishonored 3

MrBaskerville4h ago

But who knows, Dishonored 3 could have been Austins next project, so might be cancelled.

-Foxtrot22h ago(Edited 22h ago)

Not even this Prey

Still longing for a sequel to the original Prey with Tommy

The studio didn't even want to call this Prey, it was just Bethesda being dicks to them for some reason.

RaidenBlack17h ago

MS closed Roundhouse Studios (ex-Human Head Studios) as well

Yui_Suzumiya7h ago

Yeah, that's who was going to do the original sequel.

isarai14h ago

Came here to say this, my hooes for a Prey sequel died when this "Prey" came out

Profchaos5h ago

Prey 2017 still hurts to play because what could have been looked so incredible

Profchaos5h ago

Same Bethesda basically screwed over the original developer team human head back around 2011 so it was really never going to come despite a honestly amazing trailer. I liked prey 2017 but it always held a stink of disappointment due to what we never got

FinalFantasyFanatic39m ago

I really didn't like this game, tried it because of how loved the original Prey was, played the demo of this one and thought it was garbage, it didn't feel nice/fun to play.

Keep dreaming then as Prey and Dishonored 2 did not sell well enough to get sequels.

Hence we got Deathloop and Redfall instead.

RaidenBlack17h ago

lol, Deathloop came from Prey: Mooncrash idea

Unknown_Gamer57946h ago

To everyone who cheered MS’s acquisitions, we told you so…

Inverno5h ago

Those people will just argue that Arkane Austin and Tango would've been shut down either way.

MrBaskerville4h ago

Zenimax allready put them in a tight spot by demanding them to do a multiplayer title. So it's not unlikely, considering how bad the game performed. They didn't stand a chance. MS had the money to save them and to correct Zenimax' mistakes.

Helldivers 2 Star Wars Mod Looks Pretty Insane

Star Wars is coming to Helldivers 2, unofficially that is, as a new mod revamps in-game models and sends players to a galaxy far, far, away.

LordoftheCritics1d 10h ago

Finally some interesting skins

thejigisup8h ago

To you. What makes them interesting?

repsahj6h ago

This is the reason they cancel the psn link.

Would It Have Even Mattered If Redfall Were Good?

Even if Redfall were a good game, the closure of Hi-Fi Rush proves even that doesn't matter in the industry.

Yeah it would have mattered especially since their huge game that year wasn't all that it was cracked up to be remember redfail was almost heavily promoted and hyped not to the level of starfield but still more promoted than the average game.

There was still a decent marketing campaign behind the game I'm sure millions were spent advertising it on websites and I saw a few billboards and bus stop signs in real life

jwillj2k410h ago

No it wouldn’t matter it wouldn’t bring in enough profit to offset their 100 billion dollar acquisition. It would maybe delay the inevitable by some months.

Profchaos1h ago

Pretty much no game in Bethesda stables makes cod numbers instantly even fallout 4 Bethesda's best selling game sold 12 million at launch and over the next 10 years climbed to over 32 which cod would do rapidly

CrimsonWing6910h ago

I would f*cking think so. Good games are what draws people to your platform. It’s why I adored the 360 era with Gears of War being one of the highlights for me. You make sh*t games and it just makes your platform that much worse and you start gobbling up studios I like and then killing them off it also makes me hate your platform as well… just sayin’

franwex10h ago

Unless the game would’ve been War Zone, or Fortnite level. No. Maybe even Hell divers 2 I doubt would’ve been enough.

Exvalos9h ago

No it would not have, the ABK deal was great for Microsoft but horrible for Xbox. Over 100 billion dollars in acquisitions. That money has to be made back. That ABK deal essentially destroyed Xbox as we know it.
