PS3, hmmm wow

PC games will exist long into the future. Consoles lack the ability to support RTS styled games, or games of somewhat similar style (Total War for instance), classical strategy (HOI) and proper fast paced FPS games, not to mention the flight sims.
The day they actually make a keyboard and perhaps a mouse to consoles, that will be the death of PC games.

My son bought a cable that lets him attach a mouse and keyboard to his XBox a few days ago.

Nevertheless, I think PC gaming is here for the foreseeable future.

For one thing, console developers never seem interested in a niche market like hard core flight sims or wargames.

Consoles may be cheaper than PCs but every console fan I know needs more than one console to play all of the games they want to play. So the cost is not as different as it may seem.

Consoles do exactly one thing better than PCs. They can handle offline multiplayer games with players in the same room. This is fun for martial arts and FPS games and especially great for sports games.

Anything else can be done much better on a PC.

And then there is the whole mod issue. Consoles need not apply.

A game like RTW, MTW and STW would not be as good on a console. Consoles are only really good for shoot 'em ups, beat 'em ups, other such war games and RPGs. It gives more of a one-to-one feel.

Bit if there was a good Mouse/Keyboard setup the games like TW would be fine on a high powered consol like these.

I agree with Nelson about the modding issue though.
