As a gamer, that has been watching the industry this long....I remember how the ps2 beat down the DREAMCAST with only the EMOTION ENGINE of the PS2(remember those demos),it is not the same industry nowadays and not the same market, and to be honest with you all, I believed that the ps3 was more powerfull than my xbox360 and to this day, it has not proven it.And the 360 live service is great!But I still believe the ps3 may be more powerfull than the xbox360, but we as gamers are still waiting, for the promises made by SONY...AND if SONY does not hurries up, we really may not see the full potential of the PS3.....I sometimes feel sorry for the way SONY mishandled the PS3 and how arrogant they where about the competition....
Yep, many people says, pc gaming is not dead and never will be....But the thing is we need the stats for the increase in growth of pc gaming vs. console gaming, and that is a hard stat to track!
As a long time pc and console gamer, this whole issue of graphics cards, has gone terrible wrong over the years.As the economy continues to struggle here in the USA....I really dont know when the pc graphics cards manufacturers will open their eyes, and realize their high prices are hurting the pc gaming industry.Some developers has noticed this, and a good example is EA's Battlefield Heroes, where the game is free and also is not a system drainer like the so called Crysis fiasco game.A game should be really scalable, like in the old days, when one could play any current generation game no matter how low the system specs....Hell I remember playing Tribes, with a very low end system, without any problems, or also Half-Life.....PC gaming needs to adjust to the times, and the graphics cards manufacturers are really profitting too much from those so called high end cards.
I may see something going on the casual gamer market and the hardcore one....I must admit, I've been playing games since the Oddyssey 2, I am 35 years old,married and with kids.I have been all this time making jokes about me playing casual games, not me, I am a hardcore gamer I rather play COD4 on my 360 than play any popcap games.....Was I wrong, last week a friend at work, was given a little casual game gem, Dinner Dash!, and to my surprise I liked that simple game, and then I began looking for other similar games, and there is something in the simplicity of those games.Now I see why the casual gamer market is having such a big influence nowadays among game developers.I must admit that those little bursts of playing time spent on such casual games are great fun!
The casual gamer market is definitely growing, as with my example.The merger between casual and hardcore gamers, will someday be closer.
After my experience with the PLAYFIRST game Dinner Dash, there are some really cool casual games, that must be given more praise than what they are given.

I have seen a lot of coverage of this game, and really...to be honest.I am not interested at all at this game.
