Default Is PC Gaming Dead?

The hay day of PC gaming may be in the past as far as sales go, but it’s still doing just fine. According to 1Up, PC games made up 14% of 2007 game sales. Only one PC game cracked a million in sales during 2007, but I don’t think we should worry too much about this format going away anytime soon.
Check out the 1Up article below that explores the sales figures and discusses how piracy may have something to do with the lower sales for some PC games. Personally, I believe that PC gaming will be around and going strong as long as they have titles like World of Warcraft. I doubt we’ll ever see PC gaming with sales on the same levels as consoles ever again, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t a place for them.

and Guild Wars
and Halo Wars

PC games are okay, i'll play 'em but i'd much rather play on a console, you dont have to fiddle with loads of letters on a keypad to learn the moves lol

I still enjoy PC games. Granted, since I now have a DS I play that alot more, but I still get an itch to play my PC games now and again. The only thing that sucks is still having dial-up. Makes things interesting, though........

I dont think PC gaming is dead at all, but I do think, Currently, there is a bit of a slump in the market, and the lack of new games for the wider audience means more people are getting a bit bored of PC gaming.

When GTA4 decided it wasnt going to be released on PC is got alot of the gamers I know quite angry, Spore keeps getting delayed, Kane and Lynch was a massive let down, and Viva Pinata made about as much sense as a talking mushroom!

I think when Spore, Storm of War & Left 4 dead come out we will see PC gaming perk up quite a bit.
Thats not to say the past year has been bad for PC's, Bioshock is damn near the prettiest game I ever did see, CoD4 was brilliant, and Stalker was good, but a let down to those who had been following it from Day 1.

....erm, as you can tell, I do love my PC gaming
