Windows won ' t take the console platform ' s market share . As uAmmodawg 64 said , consoles are cheaper and more convenient than a PC . This gives them a significant foothold in the gaming market . Is PC gaming growing ? Yes , definitely . As time moves forward , the cost of PC parts required to play games in HD 1080 p continues to lower , making it easier for players to justify the cost of a computer over a console . However , there are still some things that discourage players from transitioning 1 . Not everyone knows how to build a PC . Despite there being many resources of help forums , videos , guide articles , not everyone is comfortable about doing it themselves . 2 . Consoles still feature some exclusive titles that can ' t be boughtfound on PC 3 . Players would have to repurchase titles , and nobody likes paying twice for license of a title they already own ! 4 . Windows requires a lot of manual maintenance and isn ' t always smooth . For example , some graphics cards may not be stable playing the newest title due to drivers . A player must wait until a new game patch or driver update to be able to continue playing . Or perhaps the latest Windows update broke something . True story . 5 . If their CPU and RAM is fine , but their GPU isn ' t strong enough , they ' ll have to invest in a new one . Games for consoles are usually more stable when it comes to hardware because the developers know exactly what the hardware of their clients will be . Unless they ' re cunts like DICE or Ubisoft , who can ' t release a stable game on day 1 of release . 6 . Form factor . Because most of the hardware of a console is soldered to the board , they ' re able to achieve a significantly smaller unit size . While you can purchase some preassembled , micro PCs e . g . Intel NUC that are comparable in size , they ' re not as flexible when it comes to upgrading . And that ' s part of the reason why you move to PC change out hardware by the piece as time goes forward . 7 . Price . My bratofachild Timmy is 7 and wants to play Doom . Because I ' m a soccer mom with the ' cunt ~~ cut ~~ cap ' hairstyle , I ' ll buy him an Xbox and GTA V too while blaming society and public school as the reason why he calls everyone a ' pussyblowing nazifaggot . ' It ' s $ 350 ? Sure , I ' ll just tell my husband to work harder and deny him sex unless he does so . World of Tanks Console won ' t come to PC , at least not for a long time . This would causes serious market issues and confuse players as to why the two versions can ' t be combined if they aren ' t already . It ' s safe to say that the game has at least another 3 years to it , though I hope the 360 dies off here pretty quick so WG has only two sets of hardware to work around .
