    In other, unrelated news: NVIDIA has just announced the new "must have" GPU which will be nearly mandatory to play upcoming titles. It doesn't do a lot more than current GPU offerings, but it does support a tiny increment in DirectX which will never be utilized and costs an affordable R20,000. NVIDIA expects sales to be "positive" during the product's 3 month lifespan.

    Doesn't help that gaming PC's are home built to suit the gamer so those stats aren't even here. I wouldn't say that it's a tiny market though.

    It couldn't be that PC's have not exactly progressed much in the last couple of years - negating the need for people to buy new PC's...

    Well that, or the fact that when a new component comes out it's nothing strange when it costs twice the price of a next-gen console.

    I can think of plenty of components less than R7k. If you think most components are more than that then you are living under rock.
