Is the PC Dead For Gamers?

Tom's Hardware has published an article entitled "Is the PC Dead For Gamers?", in which they rehash the differences between consoles and computers and what market each one has for games.

This simplification of PC games playing, as well as the PC operating system itself, alongside a healthy advertising campaign, will help bring the masses back to the PC. The truly hardcore never really went anywhere, and the ability of the PC to go leaps and bounds ahead of all other hardware in terms of versatility will ensure that the PC will always remain a gaming platform.
