Is The PC Gaming Machine DOA?

I started noticing a few years ago that some titles of the newest games were not being released for the PC. That games were being developed for the PS3, Wii and X-box that left the PC gamer wondering. Is the PC gamer a thing of the past? Then along comes AMD with some type of a logo program that appears way to little, to late.
I must admit that after playing all of the console boxes during the past year, that they do out shine the experience one can get from a PC. Especially when one of these consoles is hooked up to a big HD television. My buddy from CA, who is now my neighbor, has a X-Box 360 hooked up to a Samsung 50″ DLP set. The graphics and play are superb compared to playing on a computer.
I also remembered something else? Wasn’t Microsoft touting some type of a new Direct X 3D something or other, along with some new video cards that were going to propel PC gaming into the next dimension? Did this happen and I missed it, or did this go the same way as the Vista Ultimate treats we were promised?
Here it is. Direct X 10 from Microsoft here. Take a look at the games available. The list looks kind of skimpy to me.
So is it goodbye PC games and hello console?
Comments welcome.

Are you sure you’re comparing apples to apples? My son and his friends only own both because many console games never come to PC.
Now, on a cost basis, consoles are a better deal, but I think that from a ‘look and feel’ aspect, a PC game played on a high end PC is pretty awesome.

I doubt we’ll be seeing the last of PC Gaming for quiet some time. Also a high end gaming PC is way more powerful then any console on the market right now and compare one of those high end gaming PC’s graphics with a Consoles Graphics and you will see a major difference.
PC will take that

Hi Marc,
Owning both makes sense.
Hello John Cow,
I hope you are right. I still have my gaming rig.
