GamesIndustry.biz has more quotes on the state of PC gaming, this time from
Steve Nix, id Software Director of Business Development. Nix feels some of the
hardcore PC gaming audience is shifting to consoles, something id cannot
ignore: "There are plenty of people who are diehard mouse and keyboard
guys that may never go to console, and also right now, if you have the highest
of high-end PCs, you're generally going to get a better visual experience," Nix
said. "There's no console out there that's as powerful as a God machine right
now, with a Quad-Core and a GeForce 8800 - it's very hard for any console to
compete with that."
"So you still have PC players, and some players are just console guys, but have
players moved over? Absolutely. We love PC gaming, and we continue to support PC
gaming - but you can't ignore the market realities and the size of the console
market these days."

I really take offense to this "dumbing down" comment coming from the PC crowd... as if console games are somehow for the stupid.
Prime examples...God of War, Heavenly Sword, etc. They take the "game on rails" thing too far. Big action scene begins, gameplay consists of you watching events unfold and every now and then you are prompted on-screen to press a single button and your character does a pre-determined animation to advance the action. It's extremely lame and if that's not dumbed down I don't know what is.
