Regarding the PC gaming: If the company followed through with making the games compatible with other gaming machines that would expand their ability to sell more games. Also, the expense of a gaming PC would cost at least $1600 - $1800 to achieve the full affect of today's complexed games. Gaming consoles cost about $300 - $400 and are designed to handle today's games. I would venture to say many gamers do not have PCs powerful enough due to the cost factor. I'm not saying the LFBG games cannot be fully realized on a average PC, just that many own other types of gaming machines due to the high cost of PC gaming machines.



I'm not sure where you get your numbers for $1,600 to $1,800 for a gaming machine but your number are a little high. Most PC's you buy in a store, straight off the shelf, can handle the minimum requirements of LFBG games. Even to build a "gaming PC" for hard core gamers one could be built for $850.00. Best Buy sells PC's and laptops that can handle games with higher minimum requirements than LFBG's games for $350.00. So, the argument that consoles are cheaper really is not a factor. The fact is most people will buy a computer for their home than a console if they were given the choice. And unless you are buying a machine to play Battlefield 3, which has the latest and greatest in graphics and requires more memory and processor speed, you really can use a basic PC to play LFBG games.
