Market research firm IDC has released its quarterly figures for computer sales in the first part of 2012. It’s surprised some pundits by claiming that far from the traditional PC era being over, worldwide shipments are up. They’re even showing growth in debt-saddled, austerity shackled and market saturated Europe, of all places.
The salient point is that while computer use is changing rapidly, spurred on by adoption of mobile platforms, it’s not necessarily the PC that’s suffering. In fact, tie this story in with last month’s news that 2011 was a boom year for sales of PC games, then set it against the declining revenues from console software and you’ve got a fairly convincing PC renaissance story.

And yet, there's still nutjobs out there saying "PC gaming is dead".
It was hilarious at first but now it's just pathetic.
