Meh, PC gaming is very much alive. Perhaps more than the consoles. People on Consoles are generally more stupid, gameplay and intelligence wise. Note. I take this from personal experience comparing games I have seen both on PC and on consoles such as TF2, COD4 etc. And PC gamers are generally alot older and there for mature enough to have a sensibly calm game, without overreacting, argueing etc but are still childish at heart and willing to have a laugh now and then.

PC gamers are usually more ... patient, if you will. Usually PC gaming requires some trouble shooting, and other difficulties to work around to get some things to work some times. 12 year old who play halo ( teh gayz!! O: ) dont have patients for that.

Thinking PC gamers and console gamers somehow magically have statistically different personalities is retarded.

Too bad it's true. Randomly picked console casuals will always be more retarded than randomly picked PC casuals.

Too bad it's true. Randomly picked console casuals will always be more retarded than randomly picked PC casuals.

I've seen evidence of this. Even yahtzee pointed it out at one point.

But then I can guarantee that the overall "sad-meter" of an average PC gamer will be higher than that of an average console user.

Console gamers are the majority of gamers today and most of the world. Most of the world is idiots who follow the world todays rules and go to school/work day-by-day and treat everyday as if it was just "Another day...". They pick up bad language and idiocy from where they go everyday and use it over the microphone on their Xbox 360/PS3 for no reason.

Not that I don't go to school everyday, but they are the people who have fallen into the stupidity of most of the world.

Hey,I thought PC gamers is the majority.
Only 2 friends of mine have PSP,PS2 or PS3.
Not counting Dendy,of course.
But everybody has PC.

 

[Druckles]

Everyone might have a computer, but it doesn't mean they game on it.

Too bad it's true. Randomly picked console casuals will always be more retarded than randomly picked PC casuals.

Should be a study conducted with external validity kept unviolated
