Has Console Killed PC Gaming
Increase in use of gaming console have put PC gaming somewhere behind. Whenever we talk about high graphics game, first thing that comes in the mind of gamers and developers is gaming console.

PC gaming market does not look that much healthy to compete with gaming consoles. Very possible reason could be PC hardware. Latest games require latest hardware configurations and that is not easy to be found in every PC that is why gamers are switching towards gaming console as it matches the basic requirements by any high graphics game. Integrated graphic features available in PC are of no use for gamers who like to play highly animated games. Another problem with the motherboard of PC is absence of AGP or PCIE slot that makes it impossible to add external graphics card. No one will go for such computer system that does not even support normal graphic games. Gaming consoles like PS2, PS3 and Xbox 360 are designed in such a way that they support almost all kind of 2D, 3D games without any problem.
If you want, you can enhance the gaming features of your PC by adding required hardware and software to it but that is not very cost effective. You can’t get PC on cheap price and after that if you need to spend another few bucks just to upgrade your PC for gaming, it’s of no use. Instead you can use the same amount to buy a good quality and branded gaming console with warranty. Gaming console has rare chance for upgrading its configuration or software but we can’t say the same in case of PC. In computer’s world, configuration keeps changing frequently. Hardware keeps becoming more advanced and games become more in demand. That makes most of the gamers to think that they need new PC with good configuration in order to play new 3D or high graphic games.
You can keep upgrading your PC by adding RAM, video card, graphic card but as your system ages you need to change the processor and that is like buying a new PC again. For most of us PC could be the best platform for gaming but such category can get extinct if proper hardware and better configuration PC s are not available at affordable price. Some changes need to be done in PCs so that like gaming consoles, PCs too should be upgraded very rarely especially for gaming. Gaming consoles are graphically very much attractive and they come with online components that are quite cheap to buy. I am sure that if you search on the net for the best gaming device option you will never get one within your budget and requirement.
In order to bring back the same age of PC gaming, manufacturers have to think from gaming point of view or else that day is not far when people would know that only possible device available for gaming is console device and not PC.
