State of Gaming
Written by Cannonarm

gd2k8sgds-200Rumors have been surfacing that more and more developer are slowing down their development of pc based games. Sources have been citing recent trends in console games vs PC games. The recent popularity of many consoles including Nintendo Wii, and Microsoft's Xbox 360 has led many to believe that gaming will shift back to be a primarily console based market especially now that all of the consoles have wireless access now.

A recent study however aims to prove otherwise. "Despite rumors of impending doom, PC and MAC games were being worked on by a whopping 70 percent of developers polled, with console games at 43%, 28% working on web-based games, and only 16% taking on handheld projects."

If you would like to dive into the market further you can always go to Game Dev Research's Website You do have to pay a small fee to access the full report.

This is definitely good news for PC gamers who can expect many more Call of Duty games (most likely Call of Duty 13, hunt for new content)
