Consoles aren't killing PC gaming. The two have coincided for decades. The problem is developers being lazy, and lack of consumer interest in the PC gaming sector. It's a downward spiral of crap. Here's hoping Starcraft and Diablo can bring it back from the brink.

Hrm. Guess that's also a metaphor for FM.

Starcraft will be a let down. From what I hear it's not gonna have LAN play, you have to pay to play online and it will be like wow where you have to pay for several release expansions. Don't know about Diablo though.

And what I mean about consoles killing PC gaming, I don't mean it's killing it, I mean people like to upgrade their PC's for gaming purposes but todays upgrades are becoming worthless as even mid range PC's can easily break the 60fps barrier (which a lot of console games can't do) in most games and it's beocming pointless to upgrade.

I mean why upgrade to a GTX285 or GTX295 to play games when a HD4850 can play the exact same game as the exact same visual settings?
