Nintendo DS Gaming Is Dying.

And I a bad person not to be upset by this? It seems to me that the world can live without the likes of Girlie’s Overpriced Fashion Show Game and Nintendogs.

You’ve got that backwards. “Bloke” DS gaming, of the likes supplied by Bangaio Spirits and Advance Wars, really is on its last legs. Piracy has almost killed it (and PSP gaming, for the most part). Aiming nearly all their games at the “casual girl” crowd, who have so far shown less interest in how to make games fall off the back of an internet, is the result, not the cause.

And the muslim/jewish community in Melton is less than tiny. They’re probably bothered by the pie obsession. I know I am.

Those figures are for the UK only, not worldwide. I’m curious to know what the percentages were like in other markets.

Since console penetration in the UK is higher than average, hopefully the PC percentage there is low compared to elsewhere.

P.

Just to note that that recent sales of Fallout 3 are broken down as 55% on XBox 360, 28% on PS3, and 17% on the PC.

not very well at all. cause Halo is mostly popular among USA kids and PC games dont sell in USA

Nearly every bog-standard PC bought from a high-street retailer these days would be capable of running the latest games – they have enough processor power, ram and HD space – if it weren’t for Intel cornering the market with their poor OEM graphics chips.

That’s a huge section of the PC gaming market locked out, because the onboard graphics are so crippled they can’t even run 5 year old games.

Then you have someone else I know, with a cracked 360/PS3 so he can play games from overseas, stating “Why the hell would I not do this? There’s a whole wealth of games that I’m apparently ‘not allowed’ to play here, with no real reason as to why.’

So, personally, I think piracy is more noted on the PC because it’s ‘easier,’ and frankly, because PC gamers on average are more demanding, more ‘tech savvy,’ and are less willing to buy mediocre things.

If Halo had been released on the PC first, how well would it have done?

Are your sure we are not speaking about the PC Gaming Killing Association?

My housemate (who, I would like to point out, is a student…) has bought a £2000 laptop. The most taxing thing he has played so far is Spore.

If the hardware makers can survive on just this kind of person is debatable, though.

This is like the anti council council being funded solely by the tobacco lobby. GTFO of our platform, you’re only hurting it by being here.
