Gaming by and large is dominated by casual games which do not require these "thousand dollar machines" (which outside of the true "enthusiasts" I doubt people are really buying anyway.)
Most everyone has a computer, and I'm sure anyone that has used a computer has discovered solitaire.
As for being established: I remember getting a CD full of shareware games around the same time I was playing games on the NES. Consoles and PCs have largely matured together and there is quite a bit of shared development.
- buugs 17y agoIt is not dominated by casual games it is now dominated by latest and greatest. It is still hard to find a computer at the store that can play games well without any additions for cheap by the relative consumer. Just the other weekend I had to add ram and a video card to my uncles computer to play half life 2 comfortably/smoothly and that game is from 2004. Sure there is a market for board games and such but that is largely moving to flash/net based alternatives the real games are played on the xbox... it is hard to meet a person where I live that hasn't heard of halo or xbox but finding a person who plays video games on their computer is in the minority.
- litewulf 17y agoUh, when I say casual games, I really mean people playing scrabble on facebook or the games on yahoo, or things like bejeweled. I have a sneaking suspicion they enjoy a much broader demographic than half life 2 and its ilk.
