Though I do think the games were much better a long time ago, I don't see a lack of good games out at the moment. Especially with the orange box coming out... I think it's great. Still, that's just one genre, not really suited for all gamers.

So I don't think that PC is dying, but it's just not like how it used to be. I see a lot of people buying 360's, rather than going out and getting computers, and I wonder why. I know the gamepad is amazing, but the gamepads work on PC. Well I guess I am really asking why, just because it doesn't seem like there is a good bunch of games coming out anymore, like how it may have been before: looking forward to several different publishers, in different genres.

Oh well, I'll just stick to half life, and the NES.

consoles are much cheaper than a new gaming rig where you will spend over 500EUR on graphics card alone. so if someone already has working computer that can show him DVD movies, where he can do his (school)work, where he can browse internet, but can't play the latest kewl gamez then why not get a console instead a completelly new computer. it costs abotu 300 or 400 EUR. you wont get a gaming rig for that price.

wii is now even more popular than other consoles, because you can even convince the parents to buy it (all familly funy).
