Video games blow movies away for 2013 revenue: $100 Billion vs. $10 Billion.

very good point.  and since this is Grogheads and we supposedly play wargames once in a while I'll mention that I got W:ALB and W:EE for a total of $25 through Steam.  this shows 2 failing of the console.
1. theres shit for wargames on consoles.
2. ya aint buying that much fun for $25 with a console.

strangely the company that makes W:ALB is the same that made Ruse.  one of the very fery rts games I had fun playing on a console.

One comment I'll make on the keyboard vs. controller scheme.  For me I find using a controller to move my character and perform coarse aiming in an FPS is much easier to do than with a keyboard.  When it comes time for sniping or pinpoint accurate shots however, I prefer to use a mouse. 

Moving the character using the WASD is technically challenging for me but the sticks on the controller make this easy for me. 


I have to agree though that for deep war type games or consims you are not going to find much on a console.  Curiously though, I can play a wargame very skillfully using a keyboard and mouse combo than I can with a controller.  I'm being serious here too because I wanted to test to see if it was possible to port wargames to consoles using controllers only.  It was a dismal failure.
