Could PC's be the next Nintendo WII?

<< < (3/3)

Yeah that's probably it. I didn't get around plugins too much, I just set up the basic stuff and hit "Play" because my System is quite the same, You have more RAM and HDD space but I have a newer GPU and a more recent processor model, I have no idea what's the difference between these two processors though.

Intel Core 2 Quad Q8400 @ 2.66 GHz
4GB DDR2 800MHz
ATI Sapphire 5670 1GB HD
500GB Local HDD Space + 1TB External

I guess I should get to optimizing my settings more, Because all GCN games wouldn't run over 30-35 FPS, Which is fine by me, But the more the better.

Honestly, the way I see it... Consoles are going to eventually merge back into computers. Take a look at what all was added to the current generation consoles. Web browsers, media playback, online play (mainstream and integrated in all consoles), text and voice chat support, and digital distribution as well.

The fanboys of yore will disagree with me about this, but I honestly don't see it any other way. Down the road, the one set will merge into the other.

the WII,PS3, X BOX can all run Linux and windows to some extent

V!NCENT:
I can see the PC stay relevant for at least the next 10 years and with the new gaming stuff I think gyroscope goodness will enter the PC market is some way.

Hell I'm making a proof of concept game for school with a Wiimote, just like almost anybody at my school; they all pick some way of motion and position tracking.

Didi you know that the Kinect will be supported out of the box in Windows 8?
