PS2 Taking Away From the PC?

Gamer is concerned about the advancement of consoles surpassing the PC and gives the example of Baldur’s Gate, Dark Alliance:
you can check the screens in question here. You can also check out the new NWN Geforce3 screens here, or at the link below. Still worried?

Has anyone seen the screenshots for Baldur’s Gate, Dark Alliance for the Sony Playstation 2? If anything, this game is looking even more visually gorgeous than NWN – …I hope Interplay doesn’t hold up NWN … because of this new Playstation Game …It could see a whole wave of D&D products being released for console in the future – which kind of worries me in a way – because then sales for PC might go down…

Just to clear up a thing or two, BioWare has no connection with Dark Alliance, other than the interest in actually playing it 🙂 It *does* look like a fun, and pretty game. It’ll be nice to see another developer explore the Sword Coast 🙂

And on a side note, I think the X-Box will ship with broadband support, much like the PS2. But with both, you need to buy the tools separately. Just the same, I prefer consoles, so I am happy to see them so powerful and popular – though I don’t think it will affect the PC market. There’s more than enough gamers to fill that demand 🙂
