that article was written from a place of pure bias and ignorance.
console games are atleast double the price of PC titles... so when taking sales values into consideration, that must be taken into account. also those are total console sales, all consoles including peripherals for certain games. then you have to consider the fact many people buy their PC games using steam or direct2drive etc. these figures are not included. that is a more accurate representation of where PC gaming is.
when you take the MMORPG market into account you'd realise that not all PC gamers are cheapskates... on that note, i hate the cheapskate c**** who wont buy a single game and pirate everything, you suck and deserve a cruel, slow death you cheap sw!nes.
back on topic... PC gaming is not doing as badly as the console fanboys will lead us to believe. when starcraft 2 comes out and kicks ass the PC will have it's time to shine. not to mention diablo 3... i know it's diablo 3 is probs gonna be multiplatform but you know it'll be 100x better on PC.
i have access to both major gaming consoles and a PC and games on my PC look leagues better than on console... not to mention i get almost double the frame rate.
PC gaming is in a transition period... what it will transcend to i do not know. i know for sure that it's just so much better than any console out there and too good to not survive this.
and to the author, dude seriously... how many PC games are getting nerfed due to console owners not wanting to feel like the PC version totally r4pes theirs? if you were to use cold, hard facts you couldn't deny that PC's are FAR superior
