Mass Effect 2

Don't be surprised when Bioware doesn't release future games on PC.  There are actually 50% more pirated copies of Dragon Age on the PC than there are paid for copies, and the PC market isn't big enough to justify the trouble.

Eh Consoles are becoming more and more like PCs anyway...they certainly are now just as expensive if not more so.  Soon they will basically be the same thing.

I HOPE ALL YOU PIRATES ROT IN THE FILTH OF YOUR OWN DECEIT AND SHITTY CONSOLE RPGS!

How on Earth can you compare the price of a gaming console to the price of a gaming pc? This is foolish.

[DisturbedPervert]

I imagine on the 360 the ratio of paid for copies of games with pirated, rented, and used is even worse than the PC

Why not?  Everyone has to have a PC anyway.  The cost of upgrading it to play games for most people is just a better video card.

Over the long term, sure.  The pawnshops like GameStop and whatnot take their cut.  But over the short and medium terms, consoles deliver a much better return.

Not when a PS3 costs $500.00.  My gaming PC costs less than that and I can do things besides play games on it.  Like post on Languish.  You are living in the past man.  Computers are dirt cheap now and consoles are simply ridiculously expensive.

I am sure they will continue to make games on multi-platforms.

I'm pretty sure you are right which is why PC gaming has seen such a sharp decline this last decade.

Yeah that World of Warcraft thing was a complete bomb.

Thank you, Marty.

You pirates disgust me.

I am pretty sure there are more PC gamers now than there were 10 years ago.  The console market is just that much bigger.  Back during the supposed hay day of PC gaming if a title sold a few hundred thousand titles it was a smash hit.  Now that woudl be a major failure.

Not sure how calling my Marty changes the simple facts but whatever.

[Fate]

You also can't easily pirate on consoles. Imagine all the cash you would save on shitty, over-hyped $60.00 games that have ~48 hours of play time.

Like Mass Effect 2!

Marty made a similar argument about this.  10 years ago PC games had a much larger part of the market share.  I'm not sure there is more PC gamers now then there was 10 years ago.
