[citation][nom]aliened[/nom]lol? No, CONSOLES suck; because of consoles the pc has never been able to perform at its full capacity. Because of the poor graphic performance of consoles, video games have to be limited on the use of the GPU’s, enough said.[/citation]This is true until you go past the point when the console market was basically PSX vs. Xbox.
Before that generation of consoles, they were mostly completely separate markets, and what overlap existed was in the other direction. Does no one else remember having played DOOM on the PC to death and wondering why anyone would bother with playing it on a console? Remember when Deja Vu and The Uninvited had been out for PCs for years before they were announced as upcoming NES titles? Might make a couple of you old-schoolers laugh with this one: Hillsfar.
Not to say there weren't plenty of great PC games in the old days, but prior to the days of Wolfenstein 3D, consoles were better at delivering a good action game experience. Instead, PCs excelled in genres where storage size, better static images, and number crunching were more important: RPGs, adventure games, old-school strategy games, and flight sims. It wasn't until the mid-90s that this trend really started turning around, thanks to dedicated video cards and games like Wolfenstein 3D and DOOM.
You're right about the current state of the industry- you just shouldn't have said "never." 😉
