Consoles Pushing PCs?
CNet has a quick article from yesterday asking the simple question of "Are consoles squeezing out PC
games?" that quotes a few industry experts. I'd say erm.. maybe? My shot in the
dark guess is that the platforms will just keep getting closer and closer together until
we see an almost unification of sorts. The X-Box is a big step in that direction really.
But PCs will continue to play an important role in the gaming world, partly because it's much easier for small developers to work on a PC title. Console development requires expensive programming tools, as well as intricate licensing and approval procedures--all of which retard the growth of new ideas, PC developers maintained. And PC hardware can be much more flexible in bringing a developer's concepts to life.
