SH5 overtakes Assasins Creed 2 in Steam Charts!!!

All these numbers, console vs PC and the fact that I was in EB games yesterday seriously had hard time finding the little nook of a shelf for PC games just lends credit to my opinion. Pretty much any PC game is niche when compared to console games these days... Money is in the consoles and the stupid crackberry iphone games, hell I bet the latter makes a company a fortune for little investment.

Sad for an old PC gamer like myself...

Couldn't agree more it is the same in the UK where the main retailer GAME seems to be giving less and less space to the PC, I think these "bricks and mortar" retailers are determined to kill PC Gaming off entirely. I spoke to an assistant in the shop and she said the company were mainly only stocking the highest profile AAA PC titles like Call of Duty etc now, a sad state of affairs indeed.

Im not sure they're determined to kill PC gaming, its just most of their sales come from the younger crowd, which usually means consoles. Thats just the reality of the market, its sales driven and sales are in console games. Add in the digital downloads and shelf space for PC games is going to be gone entirely in the near future.

I did chuckle when I saw AC2 and SH5 on display, along with NTW. That was all the front (cover) facing shelf space they gave PC games, the rest were stacked like books in a library so you get a sore neck looking for a title... I swear I have more PC games on my shelf then they did!
