Other then that, I think most developers realized if you create fun little flash games, you can make more money then developing intensely huge (and expensive) games.
I think Starcraft 2 might give the industry a bit of a boost though. But there is an example of a game designed to run on a broad set of specs rather then the high end.

I agree with yoru post, but I am not sure what WoW has to do with it. I mean, you can play WoW quite well on a 3 year old computer. The only thing hurting PC gaming is the ease of consoles. For average Joe, it's completely no brainer.
