RANT ALERT!
I'm sure Microsoft and Sony have influenced him (paid him) to say these things to help generate more sells of their upcoming consoles. This is an obvious attempt at brainwashing the 'suckers' out there. Plus, all this talk about the PC being dead or dying the last year or so will sway (scare) some to skip the PC for one of the new consoles. I'm sure mobile devices have hurt PC sells, but Microsoft's sh*tty Windows 8 poured salt in the wound!
Microsoft releases an unfriendly OS for desktop users in Windows 8. Maybe it was their strategy to discourage a new PC build, so we'd hold out for the upcoming XBox. They'll make more money off of an XBox purchase than from Windows 8, itself. Think of all the money they'll generate from the sell of XBox games, accessories and subscriptions. So, you bet they'd prefer you buy an XBox. DUH!
To boost the life of the PC, we need to have much lower prices for the components to assemble our builds. We need pre-built PCs to cost less. We need an OS, (besides Windows), that is compatible with our hardware and that we can run games on. Something gaming studios should have backed years ago.
I say damn a console! Playing a FPS, like Battlefield, with a controller, is like a dog with no tongue trying to scratch his itchy ballsack! You can't do it! If I can't play on my PC, then to hell with gaming altogether! However, a PC is more than just gaming, there are way more things you can do on a PC and do them better than any over-hyped console can do!!!!! Honestly, I can see the life of the PC only getting stronger!
Thanks for letting my rant!
By the way, Happy Memorial Day Weekend!
