Online Consoles Marginalizing PC Gaming?

Posted by michael on from the gaming-unplugged dept.

MattW writes "The gist of this AP/Miami Herald article seems to be that consoles going online will mutate the MMORPG space. Already, there is word that PC game development is withering, even though as a preferential PC gamer I see the best games ever. Is the console destined for superiority, or will the ubiquitous need and superior user input of the PC keep it as a viable game platform?"

    I'm part of that group. I occasionally feel like playing a game (Rise of Nations, Age of Empires, etc. and YES, Solitaire/Minesweeper :P), but I don't feel like it's worth spending the money on a dedicated system considering I wouldn't be using it that much.
