Developer Survey Reveals Overwhelming Attraction To PC And Lack Of Interest In Wii U

One day. One day people will understand how consoles are a market distortion.(One that brings affordable hardware(including creators taking a loss on hardware sales) to people who cant afford to build a gaming pc.)

I welcome anyone to join the PC Aryan race or as Urban Dictionary calls us "Master Race"

Well it is definitely noticed: Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot was asked this:

So what’s the benefit of leading with PC over consoles?

“We expect fewer problems with porting games to the PS4 than the PS3, which had a completely different infrastructure,” Guillemot said. “Previously, we developed games first on the Xbox 360 and then translated them onto the PS3. It took a lot of time and money to port.”

I would ask that same guy: Why the **** did you had to create Uplay? (with a picture of Spock attached.)

I feel this is likely skewed heavily by the size of the developers being surveyed. Indie shops? Sure, developing for PC is way easier and cheaper than the consoles. The AAA development studios? They consider PC an afterthought. Then again, I'm just jealous that I haven't had a gaming quality rig since freshman year of college, and I have letters after my name now.

LOL like cheesegod99 PhD.?

I used to buy a PC gamer throughout the 90's and halfway into the 00's. I really miss having one, and with a tax return on the way I might take the plunge again since it has gotten a lot more affordable. Unfortunately the only thing I could probably salvage from the last rig I built is the case. Me and my dad built it in '02 and it still works like charm.

Depending on the size of the old case, and what you're wanting the new rig to do, you may well want to buy something newer with more space and better airflow.

I will probably be a console and PC tandem player all my life. Both have advantages, and I could never choose just 1.

Same here. I think Sony making the PS4 a PC infrastructure was a smart move. Less buggy ports, less time between PC and console releases for the same game. Hopefully for a while we can all have Crysis 4 on PC and PS4 at the same time.

You dont have to make dazzling film quality graphics and special effects for a console game, just make a good game... some people dont seem to understand that. Its not a like a mediocre film that pulls itself up by tons of CGI, this isnt a 90-120 minute endeavor, were going to be playing for 30-40 hours so stop trying to polish a turd and just make good, challenging, original games. Sequels, prequels, movie IPs, are nice but someone needs to call the ASPCA when that dead horse has been beaten into mucilage.
