Why is PC gaming not as big as it once was?

[Lionheart]

in fact, we are violating the law of physics and technology by playing games on our computers. thats why there are consoles. they are made to play games on.

BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Now that's a funny troll

Where is thy moderator

Violating the law of physics? technology? WTTTTFFFF

Why aren't the computer made for gaming if there are plenty of games and hardware (video cards, controllers, accessories, etc... ?

 

[CDdude55]

computers are NOT meant for gaming nor they are designed for gaming in the first place. consoles are meant for gaming. and no, no body knows about the inside of Xbox 360 and PS3, its all speculation and fake assumptions. the parts inside those consoles are mystery. computers are just for business use and studying.

Oh yeah, finally realized after doing some checking. The early consoles are considered as "family computers" or "entertainment systems", thus they are actually "computers" for the family, or "systems" that provide entertainment. Yet they are not explicitly "made to play games on," as you assert.


Following that train of thought, playing games, music and videos, taking pictures/videos with your phones/smartphones are violations of the laws of physics and technology. Actually even texting (SMS) would be a violation of the laws of physics and technology too. The only thing you can do is call, and you can't save the numbers too, you have to write them or remember them, lest you violate the laws of physics and technology.

entropy13: please read this article. its about how PC is losing to consoles. http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/252579-28-console-losing

the violation on those technologies that u mentioned are not as large as on computers.

Microsoft promised us that their new console will be able to handle Movie like games. like Avatar.

it will be 10x more powerful than PCs.

so finally with their new console, we will be able to play ultra realistic games. like in real life.

That's not an article, that's a long forum post of some member in Tom's Hardware. And it's from 2008.

I might as well post an "article" here from the 1980s, specifically during the "console gaming crash" and say "Consoles are losing."

Next generation Xbox 360 will have "Avatar" like graphics:

do u even know what Avatar like graphics means?

it means the end of graphics. it cant be better than that.

I thought you said you were fine using the outdated tech in your current console for the next hundred years? Or does "permanent solution" (your words) not mean permanent?

By the way, do you know what Avatar was created on? That's right, computers, not consoles.

That would be the end of graphic if really exist and develops lol.

 

[jacob90]

I said that, actually MS next console will be a permanet hardware for games. since it can handle real life graphics. and no, Microsoft cant just lie.

Ok, you are officially an idiot.

Now, can we move one ?

Utopy, everything can be improved.

A old video card ad also said "real life graphics". Before tesselation.

So Microsoft has to release a "next gen" console just to match current gen computers in handling real life graphics?





Anyway, here's a more useful article. Actually it's a series of short interviews, Q&As:

Derek: but how can u improve something that reached its end??????

because that will be exactly the case for MS new console. handling real life graphics.

the graphical evolution will reach its end by the introduction of MS new console. i promise u that.

You honestly think that the next console is going to be the most supreme piece of hardware to ever exist? End of line after that, everybody go home, there's nothing more to improve on?

 

[jacob90]

yes, of course. because MS itself said that. go and find out. their new console will be like more than a super computer. it will have an unlimited power.

Are you seriously 5 years old? It's amazing you can type so well at that age.

Let me break up something for you mate:
Console are computers, they use watered down versions of computer hardware.
Now, if you understand basic math

A>B

A=computers
B=Consoles

so if computers can't render real world graphics (G)

G>A

Then

G>B

Got it ?

 

[Derek12]

Derek: but how can u improve something that reached its end??????

But the end is as far I know, unreachable, everything could be improved over time!

The end (IMO) would be my previous link "infinite graphics" + a Fully 3D display (volumetric?) + a display who have a higher DPI than the human eye could detect! (pixeless display)


Until these technologies are fully developed, I don't think the end is fully reached, it's nearer over time but it's an utopy, like the 100% efficient electronics

 

[jacob90]

Derek: then u are denying what MS has said about their new console. right??????

Well it seems your definition here of real life graphics is it's "maximum" possibility. Your "prediction" of the next gen MS console being able to handle such real life graphics is akin to the several prior sci-fi predictions of the past. Don't forget that we're supposed to have significant space travel for the past decade already. Then there was also the "prediction" from the 1950s whereas traffic would be divided depending on the type of vehicles, highways are "multi-level" and underground, and the top level would be pedestrian only, by the 90s.

 

[Derek12]

Derek: then u are denying what MS has said about their new console. right??????

MS could promise everything like any company but I don't think they created the "fully perfect" technology with "infinite fully real life" graphics! if this would be true, then MS would be god

Anyway all will be seen after MS launches it, meanwhile, all is theory


I will not denying that the new console would be much better than the 360, but going to say they would be the end of the graphic technology, it's like a computer that can process INFINITE data in 0 time unit.

 

[CDdude55]

yes, of course. because MS itself said that. go and find out. their new console will be like more than a super computer. it will have an unlimited power.

How do you achieve ''unlimited power'' that scales with software of the future?

We can only develop the best things that we know of up to now, that's how technology works and why ''permanent hardware'' as you so put it can never exist. As long as software progresses which it naturally does because we find new tools and engines to deal with things, you can never achieve ''unlimited power'' where you never have to upgrade anything for the rest of your life.

 

[jacob90]

time will tell. just wait for ms new console. but if it turns out to be true, then i will buy that console and throw out my computer.

CDdude55: and who knows, maybe they can manage the impossible .

lets be positive.

Them color coded cables sure are tricky to figure out eh?

For the color blind, yes.
