PC games are the exception of course, since they're universal.

universal, easier to cater to and yet, console gaming is STILL killing pc gaming.

i went into a local game shop other day n the range of pc games was appauling.

shelfs from floor to cieling on all the walls, racks in the middle all full of console games and 1 TEENY LITTLE section for pc gaming. WHAT THE HELL?! stop buying consoles for god sakes, MAKE, FORCE, BEAT game makers into making pc games once again, and FOR GOD SAKES PUT THEM ON A FREAKING DISK!

Real PC gamers use steam, thats why theres not much selection in games shops, or you could go on a game store's website and buy from there, they have a larger selection there.

The general consensus is if you have a PC that will play modern games you have an internet connection and can download/buy online. whereas it is entirely possible to have a console and not have a PC or even an internet connection, and I for one would not type in my CC details on a public PC, but that could just be me being paranoid.

I know that feeling, both the game shops near me have row upon row of console games all over the entire shop, but their pc game section is only about 2 or 3 shelves with about 20 titles. Not forgetting that many games now are being released on console first then PC afterwards (Dead Space, Mass Effect etc.), once upon a time it used to be the other way around.

I think most of the reason for this is many people just use PCs for internet use like social networks and e-mail, and to play MMOs, plus PC hardware hasn't taken any major jumps in the last few years, the processers and graphics cards get a little better but there's no huge difference between the graphics of a PC game and a console game now. Back when there were Playstation 1's, PCs could do the kind of graphics of Playstation 2s, by the time the PS2 was out PCs could do PS3 graphics, but now consoles have caught up, so why bother releasing an amazing looking game on a PC now when a console can do it just as well, and to a larger target audience since consoles are a hell of a lot cheaper to buy than a PC is to upgrade to get the same graphical quality.
