I pulled this from The Inquirer (theinquirer.net)
Steve
MS and their Vole allies best be careful or they will blow their own legs off. I switched from gaming PCs to consoles because of the never ending (expensive) upgrades required for PC gaming.
Quote, "4x Multi-Sampling AA will be minimum for 10.1". MS is doing a good job at killing off open GL and they may up DX requirements too fast and lose support from the PC gaming area because of upgrade requirements. The vast majority of PC gamers buy a cheep Dell or Gateway with underpowered gaming capability and never upgrade them. The also keep those PCs for many years. Look at it this way, Joe Smoe who has been playing PC games buys a new game for his cheap Dell that he just bought. The game runs like crap because it is just to bloated along with the OS so he picks up his console controller instead.
If this happens too many times to Joe his lose of faith in the PC games will be complete.
I will keep my Mac and own both the 360 and PS3 for half the price of a gaming PC would cost with no upgrade worries for the life of that console.
Mass Effect for the 360 looks sweet and can't wait for FF XIII. Plus they will look great on my 40" 1080P TV.
Have a great day,
Glenn
I think they are right, people will give up on pc gaming.
