Michael Pachter's back with another of his two cents, this time regarding the power of the PS3. In the latest episode of Pach-Attack, he makes no qualms admitting that it's his platform of choice. And of course, he had to make his declaration sound controversial by saing that the PS3 is more powerful than 90% of all PCs.



Asked if he thinks the PC market is dead, he posits it's getting there. "The PC market if you think about it just as package products sold -- and let's include Steam in there, not subscription like World of Warcraft is something like six or seven percent of total games sales -- it's not a big number," he started.

"It's becoming a declining industry becaues you can get a near PC experience on a console right now, and I know flamers, you all have PCs that just crap all over the PS3 and are much, much more powerful. But the PS3 is a pretty powerful box and it's probably more powerful than 90 percent of PCs out there."

For the final slam: "The Xbox 360 is probably more powerful than 85% of PCs out there."In not so many words, Pachter doesn't think PCs can do the trick.

PC gaming will never go down, People are still
playing Quake 2 ( i am ), Counter Strike and Team Fortress, and dont forget the lamest game ever, World of Warcraft

PC gaming will never die but geez its so much more expensive to keep your hardware up to date.

So much easier buying a ps3/xbox and spending 40-60 on a game than 300+ on a new gfx card

My PC rapes my PS3 and my Xbox every Night.
PC Gaming will never die. PC´s are expendable over their Limits for example my Core i7 2.8 GHZ 930 on a 1366 Socket on a Asus P6T Deluxe V2 runs now at 4.2 GHZ and is totaly stable and cool and that my Friends is what Consoles never will become, reliable, overclockable and Upgradable.
