Not true. The music industry is split almost evenly between the two. And, I actually have Cubase 5 installed on this very PC. A lot of guys like the PC for the very reason that we all know: You can upgrade the hardware as new software is released. This is the major reason that most guys working with film scores prefer the PC over the Mac.

That's pretty interesting - and makes a lot of sense too.

Bottom line is that I don't think the PC gaming industry will die as long as there is a demand for it. I do think however, that some developers will die or possibly move to consols only.

Who knows what the future holds eh?
