In terms of future mindedness, with Vista etc, it is really hard to see whether PC gaming increases or not. It all depends on the adoption of Vista. Right now, people that are in the "know" don't want Vista, or are unwilling to buy it. They better have some damn awesome exclusives or they won't be getting the enthusiast gaming crod.
In terms of right now, PC gaming is faaaaar from dead. Though the forum here on GFF might be dead, I think that is primarily because those that do PC game, have other communities that they are involved with. I'm playing Company of Heroes and I am active member at gamereplays.org; many others are involved with WoW guilds; I think more than one person has Oblivion on their PC; I haven't even mentioned FPSs yet (HL2, UT2k, BF2, etc)... The lists go on and on. PC gaming is far from dead, though it seems to pretty much be dead here on GFF.
Also, with the PS3/X360, we are seeing a upper-echelon of gaming, a high-class type of gaming. Expensive 1080p screens with expensive consoles. This is a trend that will eat into PC/Windows gaming because generally it looks as good or better than the PC equivalent, and that was one of the PCs great strengths.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
