Source : CDR InfoSome great names of PC industry (Acer, DEll, INTEL, Epic, NVidia, Razer, Microsoft) have joined together under a new assiciation known as the PC Gaming Alliance (PCGA) to promote video games on PC. Their goal is to counter the harmful effects to their market from the game consoles that are siphoning off the big players. The will support R&D in this field, create federations of players, make promotions.... It is correct to say that PC games have always had a big weight in the PC market. Often it is the arrival of a new game always in need of more cpu power that triggers the buying of a new PC. Other usage : internet, video are much less demanding on machines that have been around for some years. However, the new consoles are running before the wind. They work as well as, or better, than the PCs. However, one should recall that Apple has managed to survive and even to grow despite its attitude of pretending that video games do not exist.
