The Fallen of Gaming PC?

I’ve read an inter­est­ing post on Giz­modo. When I came to think about it, what they said are quite true. Here is how it is:

First, what’s wrong with gam­ing PC? The answer would be NO, nothing’s wrong with it. But the thing is aver­age per­son won’t be able to afford a huge, full-tower, high-end gam­ing PC. And there are many game con­sole that could play a high-end graphic game with a rea­son­able price (such as Xbox 360, PS3). So why go crazy with 2 grand for a gam­ing PC? When most peo­ple could spend less than $500 to gaming.

Sec­ond, game sales are gone hill. With the increas­ing sales of con­sole games. PC game sales are down by 14% (accord­ing to NPD) last year. And this year? Even worse.

Third, cheaper gam­ing lap­top. Though, it’s not a high-end but with more afford­able price and bet­ter specs than in past, it could get most of the job done. And peo­ple could spends money for a game con­sole if they are seri­ous with gam­ing. Per­son­ally, I like lap­top bet­ter than desk­top, why? ‘cuz lap­top basi­cally came with every­thing that I need for basic gam­ing (though I can’t play high-end games on high setting).

Fourth, online capa­bil­ity. Try to think back about 2 or 3 years ago, when nei­ther xbox 360 nor ps3 has come out. It’s damn fun to play Half-Life, counter strike, or what­ever that you could play it with oth­ers. Only PC could do that, but not any­more. Things started to change when you can play online with your friends with your con­sole and not PC (don’t count WoW).

I still remem­ber that I was really hyped with gam­ing PC in past like 5 years or some­thing. Alien­ware used to be my most wanted thing. But it turned out to be that Alien­ware is just a lux­ury item, just like $500 USB drive from Louis Vuit­ton, I could get some­thing bet­ter and pretty much per­form bet­ter than Alienware.

Many things has changed in reverse way. Is it that bad? Nay, it’s not that bad. It might looks bad for some, but remem­ber not every­thing is bad, it does have a good side in it. Just that, do you notice it or not?
