This same argument is made every time a new console comes out, yet there's still a huge PC gaming market (the PS1 was supposed to kill PC games, the PS2 as well, and the Xbox, and the Wii, and the PS3).
Maybe someone can find some hard numbers on the growth of console games and sales numbers versus traditional pc gaming.
I also don't see hi-def as a big selling point, since most people don't own hi-def TVs, but maybe some people are trying to be 'future-proof'.
This made me think...... I don't know anyone who doesn't own a hi-def tv except for maybe you :). Maybe I live in fantasy land.
People who prefer PCs aren't going to suddenly switch to consoles, and vice-versa. There will be some people who play both, and a few might switch, but overall the markets haven't changed a lot in many years and there's no sign that they will this time either.
Again, no real numbers here but its hard to argue console gaming is not bigger than pc gaming nowadays. How many ads do you see on tv and magazines for pc games versus console games? I don't think console gaming will ever replace RPG or MMORPG games. /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
