PC gaming
Pc's have been the core of gaming for the past 35 years, these devices are esentially are the gaming platform, all consoles and gaming devices run off the basic principles that a gaming PC runs off, when there is a development in Pc gaming the development carries on to the consoles, esentially PC gaming is ahead of any other gaming platform, the negative to all this is that PC games aren't very widespread becasue the games can be pirated very easily.
