It is hard to ignore the behemoth that the (video) gaming industry has become. With $18.8 billion in revenue in 2007 alone it is clear that gaming has become increasingly popular in the domain of entertainment. This presents the outstanding question of where exactly the cash cow that gaming has become is headed? With the Nintendo Wii, Gameboy, DS, Xbox 360, PS3, PSP and an array of other devices, gamers have plenty of options. According to NPD reports, consoles and portables have dominated 2007 software sales, totaling $8.589 billion worth. Seemingly dwarfing the $911 million that PC games brought in, which is actually $70 million less than last year. Some believe that PC gaming is entering the last years of its eventual demise, so what kind of future is there for the PC as a gaming medium? A deeper look at the environment reveals what may be holding the platform back and where it’s headed.
