| Poll Results and New Poll |
|
It's a fairly quiet news day, so time to update the poll. We looked at your favourite gaming genre other than cRPGs, with turn-based strategies streaking ahead to a massive lead with >33% and shooters lagging way behind at 13.5% (I should note I screwed up the categories with "4x strategy" incorrectly grouped for a few hours).
<br>
<br>Following on from shooters there was a close battle with MMORPGs, classic adventures, action/adventures and "only RPGs" holding a little over 10%. Dipping down to 6% we find RTS, with other strategy, sports and other trailing away. It's clear there's a synergy between turn-based cRPGs and strategy among our readership, with TB combat comfortably winning our poll on preferred combat system late last year.
<br>
<br>It's been some time since we polled your console habits, so we'll tackle that subject with this poll and compare any shift in responses. Hit the poll on the left. |

I counted handhelds (GBA, DS & PSP) as 'consoles', and therefore instead of 'None, PC Only', I put 'Some, but more PC'. Even just a year ago (GBA only) it would have been 'Very Occasionally', but a few 50+ hour handheld games later ...

I put down "some, but more PC". Consoles probably get 10% to 20% of my time. However, what I play on consoles is completely different than what I play on PC. All RPGs have been on PC. On the console I play games with my kids, like driving games, or even old games like SuperMario. |

The fundemental issue for me with consoles is that you can't "do" anything with them, they play games and that's it. A PC can be used for such a wealth of activities, this more than makes up for the additonal costs. Consoles are the pin-up posters for developers / publishers, as their one-size-fits-all approach makes development significately easier and quicker. But as a consumer, PC wins every way I look at it for me (which is to say, PC-only approach is not for everyone).
So you can guess which way I've voted (and possibly going to stir up some discussion along the way).
