PC gaming is failing not because its a worse platform in regards to well anything, its because its a platform that although changes and improves every few months in terms of graphical prowess, it doesn't go through a console level media attracting change. Why? because the PC is basically a unified platform in terms of user interaction and development, new processor x and new graphics card x, with lots of number crunching happens so often the media isn't interested in it, and knows that the people that are interested in that are the hardcore fellows that will push their pcs to the limit so that they can crow about how powerful their pcs are and how it can handle whatever game.

Consoles at the moment are dominating because the media both in gaming and in mainstream, is totally ignoring the PC unless its about how much money/sales generic mmorpg x is getting.

Everyones caught up in the oh noes who's going to win the console crown. And while thats going on the media will continue promoting and reporting about it instead of boring pc news.

PC gaming isn't in a disarray, its just that devs know that releasing games like Lara croft version whatever or generic fps version whatever on the PC WON'T attract mass media attention to push impluse buy sales. mass media at the moment only cares about mmorpgs when it comes to pcs, and that just drives up the number of people trying/buying mmorpgs.
