No one out there has a PC as powerful as a PS3!

"No PC as powerful as a PS3"
You guys seem to be misunderstanding him. He didnt say there's no PC stronger than a PS3, he says there's no PC AS strong as PS3 :P

or he's stupid, whatever

With consoles rising in price, soon to rival the cost of a computer... and computers being SO much more versatile than any console out there currently, I think it's safe to say that computers aren't going out the window any time soon.

Didn't he said "most PC aren't as strong as PS3" (I know that quote, nothing about "no one has a PC as powerful as a PS3") - which in that case is easily defensible: most PC also include PCs that are in offices, schools, other places. But, if he actually said that no PC is as good as PS3, then he achieved another level of stupidity.

As for dying PC gaming... Well, PC gaming is strong in indies and F2P. Publishers tried hard to kill AAA PC gaming (and was quite successful, so many good games didn't appeared on PC, so many good games had totally rubbish PC release...), but after few years PC gaming came back, and now people are betting whether new-gen will kick PC back into being "3rd gaming world" or will new-gen actually suck, because better consoles means more work to make game, which means more costs, which means bigger game prices, which means less sales - which in turn will cause smaller games that even less people will buy...

About ME3: that's recent, he's opinion, could not care less...
About PC vs PS3, that statement is really old, and even then there were PCs more powerful than PS3...

overall Pachter is not such a bad guy, stop complaining (or there won't be any good games released :D

someone hasn't met Digital distribution XD

screw you patcher!! consoles are good only because of their exclusives.

Here I thought analysts should have at least some basic knowledge of whatever they talk about. Oops, my bad. Keep up with the stupidity, Mr. Pachter~

its sure that pc gaming will die sometime but not cause consoles :P

I love the Ps3, it's my favorite console system. But I really disagree with this guy... PC is probably the most powerful in terms of gaming and upgradability.

The thing about Consoles are that they're strong, but they can't really be upgraded. By the time the new console comes (usually 6 or 7 years) that whole time there are new software, devices, etc. for PC.

My laptop is better than any console.

He's trolling not even going to bother to read. The ps3 is outdated hardware.

My PC is worse than PS1

With Valve planning to start releasing hardware, I'd say PC gaming has only just begun... and perhaps money is on consoles because games are overpriced and there aren't super awesome Steam winter/summer sales :3

YWHo cares was a unknown analyst says, who is way too stupid to even start a PC.

I want whatever PS3 he's using then!

I've never heard of him before, but Michael Pachter needs to stick to talking about games, since he is laughably out of his depth on hardware issues.

Perhaps he's one of those people who likes to get himself noticed by deliberately talking testicles, or vehemently holding forth on subjects he knows nothing about.

Besides, everybody knows no-one out there has a console as powerful as my Sega Gamegear ¬_¬

"no one out there has a PC as powerful as a PS3" - I think he meant PS4

Yup... He's on drugs

Consoles sucks...they sometimes are cutted of some contents because of requirements. PC Games not. Or u have strong enough pc to play with all content or u wont even start game.

PS3 came out like, 6 years ago? And new GPUs and CPUs are coming out every now and then, everyone more powerful than the old one.

he just wants attention i guess

PC gaming is diying since 90s according to these "experts"

Who is Michael Pachter? And its not like console games are designed on powerful PCs that easily outclass a PS3.....oh wait.....

PS3 - Battlefield 3: Stunning 720p with 30fps.
Everything under 50 fps is unplayable for me.

My cheapass, 3 year old laptop beats out Playstation 3. When the hell did he say this?
