How is that relevant today? Atari used to be a big player in the industry too.

Console gaming helps PC gaming so much as PS3/360/PC are allowed to developer because of the vast revenue brought in. So many games would not have been made.

How is it not? If you want a group of gamers that should be thankful for something then it doesn't get any easier than that. The notion that consoles help PC gaming, or that PC gamers should be grateful for console gaming, is laughable.

If there weren't any consoles you might have a drop in the total number of games put out, but quality would rise a ton.

Which doesn't even take into account games like CoD which basically bankroll Activision to being able to do whatever the hell it wants to on other fronts, because they are ALWAYS in the black financially, because of the CoD franchise.
