Who am I? I am the greatest gaming machine ever invented. I am never late to market, never outsold and never exclusive. I have games of every genre and play style from the simplest of puzzles to major epics to rival the output of Hollywood. I cater to all demographics, all markets and all nations. Sure, I am a little more expensive at first, but upgrading me to the latest and greatest internals will costs less than a Playstation 3. I can take every single peripheral you can dream of and all in a true universal connector standard. I can display graphics to make the so called “next gen” consoles look positively 8-bit. I also come in all shapes and sizes, from giant towering neon lit water-cooled over-clocked elite gaming stations to smooth onyx hi-fi black units smaller than a loaf of bread. I am all inclusive. I connect my players into the world wide gaming network that has been running and growing for 20 years and has a billion other players of all races and nations. Through me every bit of information you could want to know, and quite a lot of information you wouldn’t is at your fingertips. I always reward creativity and I love indie designers, home brewers and small studio developers. I enable a collective gaming voice of opinion and debate made up of individuals disseminating gaming news through a million gaming websites and podcasts, all of which can all be stored on my massive hard drives or synced wirelessly to portable devices. I outsell every other gaming platform because I am so flexible you can even work out your taxes while playing minesweeper. And yet, for all my powers I am often described as humble. I humble? I who’s mouse clicks can shake the very foundations of this world! I am the greatest gaming machine ever invented! I am a PC.
