Hello,

I was just on the Sega/Company of Heroes Beta feedback forum and I
wondered
and thought this is a good question for usenet people ! :

Question is: why are PC sales declining ?:

1. Lack of demanding games ? (probably not)
2. Lack of good games ? (maybe)
3. Windows 8 sucks ? (bad reason, can use windows 7 as alternative)
4. Sick of overheat and associated problems ? (maybe... I am surely
sick of
it )
5. Mobile/phones/tablets (I dont believe that... PC/laptop still
better for
many tasks... though some decline is to be expected)

Me thinks: Perhaps 2 and 4 is cause of decline.

What are your thoughts on the decline ?

Bye,
Skybuck.


5)

5 + 3 = 8

Yup. I believe abandoning XP was a major mistake.

Big mistake.
