RE: Consoles or PC's on their way out?

I was not saying that these ports are the games that I play, as most my games are (or use to be) PC exclusive. I am just saying that over the past years, most developers are heading toward where the money is, and abandoning us, or trying to patch it up with a port to the PC. The Battlefield series is an example, not so much of a port, but it was exclusive, and I was able to enjoy it without 11 year old whiny kids...

Anyways, I use to play GW1 while I was awaiting my preorder of BF2 back in the day. It was a fun game, and GW2 looks great! But realistically, there are few PC games that are being developed without being ported, that are not from Indie developers...

GW3 will prolly be played from the cloud on any device.

Even this new PS4, is using cloud computing for backwards compatibility, its inevitable!

You see, I just don't see that happening. Neither Blizzard, nor Arenanet nor TRION show any signs of running for the consoles, and Firaxis also have a clear idea of what makes sense on consoles and what needs to be on the PC.
And its not like there were thousands of games developed with that kind of budget for the PC 15 years ago. The consoles are just a bigger market that popped up besides us, the PC market itself may have lost the shares of shooters and sportsgames it held for a short while, but the core of the PC gaming market has survived basically untouched.
