Consoles are cheap and easy
PCs are more powerful but comes at expense fo you needing to know a little about them
Console is obviously going to sell better
its the exact same case with windows v linux
linux is a better OS
but windows is easyer to use (or at least is percieved to be) and thus sells better
On one level i consider this a good thing
if more of the mainstream gamers leave PC gaming they might take some of the shit made for mainstream games with them
though of course theres the risk of them taking good games aswell
also the argument that consoles have certain games earlier than PC is a pointless argument
cause it goes the other way around aswell
PCs have games consoles either dont get or get 6 months later
Im English and will say id love to see this happen:)
People in Europe would switch in mass to linux, mac and unix Which in my opinion would make Europe the best computing continent in the world since we would not have to deal with microsoft and there shite software
Games
thats the only thing that ties me to it
i play far to many games for my own good so thats what ties me to windows
if games developers started making linux versions for all games that had same or similar release date to windows version id switch to linux in a heartbeat
Im glad to hear that microsoft are actualy trying to plug security holes
however i dont like the idea of them being forced onto people
if i have an app and i know the newest patch will break it and i wanna keep my app then i should be able to chose to have a slightly less secure OS in favor of keeping my app
This is what they already are doing
dunno if you saw the articles but laterly the European commision commisioned an investigation on open source software and also alot of European countrys have started using linux alot in there government systems
