People seems to forget that IW also made games before MW2 which were good games, MW2 was rushed by Activision.
It does not have the hype and the predecessor Modern Warfare 2 had, and they have not showed off something really new yet, i don't think it will sell nearly as much as Modern Warfare 2.
The article has a pretty good point, if you are playing on a standard office PC, with an onboard GPU, however a decent gaming rig does not cost that much anymore.
Also about the constant upgrade thing: yeah maybe the gaming pc you buy today will not play new games in 3 years on very high, however you can just tone down the graphics and problem solved.

True, but i'm not sure Microsoft/Sony want a game that won't work with the standard controller, it could cause some confusion, and i don't think it was going to sell that well anyways.
SC2 can be played on most computers anyways, at least if you stay in 1vs1 or 2vs2 and stay away from custom maps with huge amounts of units.
Supreme Commander on PC is actually very good, and it is different than most other RTS's out there.
It is one of the best balanced games, it has actually race diversity, and it has one of the most powerful map editor's which almost no limitations, what more do you want?
People are really stupid, they did not split one game up in 3 parts, they are going to make 1 base game and 2 expansion packs, the base game got a 20-30 hour single player campaign, three race multi player, and one of the most advanced map editors, that is more value than most games out there today. Do people really expect to get the whole 90 mission campaign in one single game?
So long as they don't do PC vs PS3 matches i can't really see why Starcraft 2 should not be good with move. Yes if you play with move against someone who can use keybinds, you would loose, but if you neither of you can, you could perfectly play.
Troll :P
There are no real reason for DRM in single player mode, as it is always going to get pirated no matter what, actually almost every big title are cracked even before it's release. However multi player is a bit more tricky, and can be very hard to crack.
No DRM on single player is by far the best solutions, yes it will give more piracy but it will most likely also give more sales.
They would really have to improve it over first one then, because the AI in Crysis was not really good.
I'm in the beta, and there are a lot of cool new stuff, but in the end it is still the same old game.
Most people either have an OS or is just pirating it. Most people don't has a gaming rig as their first pc ever, so they can just reuse the OS.
PC are indeed the biggest platform, but not for retail games.
Almost every PC can run SC2, MMOs and Source.
I'm a pc gamer, but i won't really say we are more hardcore.
Actually a top 10 i agree with.
They already did that before Mass Effect 2 was released :P
"why? the human eye takes in anything above 25 fps as moving perfectly smoothly "
That is wrong, there is a clear difference between 30 and 60 fps, some scientist even suggest we can see up to 200fps, it is also very different from person to person. That said, 30fps is still perfectly play- and enjoyable.
On the pc version people actually stays silent, which is wonderful. Even though the chat is spammed with "noob" and "noob tuber".
