Think Steam has anything to do with those numbers?

Calling it a niche market is not accurate. This was before Skyrim had even been out 24 hours.

I'd still say anyone who has the option should play these games on PC - Bethesda games specifically. But you can still have a excellent experience on a console.

143K people is nothing in gaming terms.
Now there are still some big PC games, WoW is obviously the best example and I'll be playing SWTOR with a few million people in three weeks, but you can't deny the fact that there just aren't that many games designed for PC specifically anymore. That's just reality. The great majority of any sales numbers you care to bring up will be the result of multi-platform games. Hell, I can't even think of the last major PC-only game that I played, not including MMOs. I wish there were more... |

Aside from Blizzard games and a few indie series like Penumbra and..... that's all I can think of.
Back to Skyrim.

When it's taken within a few hours of the game's release, it's massive, and indicates the popularity and power of the platform.

I don't know. All I'm saying is calling the PC a "niche" market is dumb. Cell phone gaming is a "niche" market.

Note on Skyrim... if you get into the Thieve's Guild, DO NOT GET RID OF THE ARMOR.

Hence me asking what the console numbers were at the same time. I could be wrong, but I would venture a guess that they were much, much larger than 143k. As a PC gamer, I wish that wasn't the case, because it would mean they'd be making more games for me. And yeah, sorry, Skyrim people, I'll stop hijacking your thread with this. |
