1.6 players demand more realism and responsive controls.
Source players want more of the same.

GO is a lot different than either with weird controls and molotovs...

Not likely, if people have stuck with 1.6 this long they are unlikely to change now.

GO looks ok but it is clearly geared more for the consoles than PC, have you seen the gameplay vids? That equipment buying wheel is hideous.

I can't play CS anymore anyway, if you stop playing it you can't go back. People who play it are like jedi's, console players are in for a rude awakening if there really is cross platform play.

CS Go looks like a dumbed down version of both games so no, it won't be bringing in the 1.6 players.

I don't think GO is going to last long. They should have just updated the game to the Portal 2 source engine.

I think CS:GO will appeal to casuals CS:GO isn't even CS anymore looks like its going to be CoD.. CS:GO will probably be the most successful Counter-Strike sales wise in a short time.

My exp playing CS1.6 for 6 years at a high level for 3 years.

And source on and off but that game doesnt come close to 1.6.

i mean thats a problem of their own design to begin with, but because it makes them so much money they won't change it. It's something that they at least ban a bunch but it's the absolute minimum that they're doing.

Must be a lot of inactive accounts, there's no discernible difference in the active player count on the Steam charts.
