Hopefully console gaming dies with this generation.

Hopefully I'm wrong, but if there aren't those major innovations and they're just guts upgrades, I don't see why the scales won't start tipping in the favor of fully customisable PCs. |

The scales are already tipping AWAY from fully-customizable PCs because those are more difficult to monetize. Content is the future. |

I do, because I know how to build/setup a PC for about the same price as a console that will blow it away.

Sure, PC games have their place in the world for people like you - those won't go away either. But 90% of the people don't want to build something. They want to take it out of the box and be playing their game 2 minutes later.

That is why I educate, we can convert the derps over to productive PC members.

i think also, its easier for parents to buy games for their kids if all they need to know is if their kid has a wii, sony, or xbox. they don't want to have to look at minimum system requirements, and remember what shit their kid has. most people don't know enough about computers to build their own anyways, so consoles appeal to a lot of people.
