Thats what I hear/read. But you'd have to admit that the amount of console piracy is nothing compared to that on the PC. For the record I prefer PC gaming, having played Quake in college and all that. I'd rather buy a video card every few years than a new console. I’m just sayin’ is all. Thats what I hear/read.

Everything I've been reading is saying consoles are the future. I thought devs were shying away from PC gaming claiming piracy is making it unprofitable?

I have always been a fan of the keyboard and mouse (blame Quake) but over and above that, PC users have always had the room to move and grow with games (which like Crysis a console could never handle). Sure, the price difference is WAY off, but I can buy new hardware every year or two and have an up to date system and not a 5 year old console. Plus, I am never at risk to the "console flop" syndrome that console users have to deal with if developers decide to say "F*** developing for that, it's toooo hard."
