It is interesting to watch what I perceive to be the “closed architecture approach” of consoles versus PCs for games. Or maybe I keep reading information just coming out of Epic?!?

From Wired (Mar 10):

Epic Games co-founder Tim Sweeney thinks consoles are beating PCs, and the PC gaming industry has no one to blame but themselves.

The industry, he says, has changed dramatically over the last decade, and that the constant advancements in technology have given game creators an excuse to cater specifically to the tiny portion of PC gamers who own high-end systems.

This shift leaves all those with lower specifications — what Sweeney calls the “mainstream PC” — out in the cold with computers much better suited for “Facebook, MySpace, pirating music or whatever,” and as a result, that becomes those computers’ sole function.
