I don't know where you're getting that idea from. The number of PC games released each year regardless of whether you count total or just AAA (big budget studios) games is phenomonally higher than any console.

a) it's likely that, quantum computers or not, in 20 years there'll be a PS4 emu anyway;
b) the main reason for that actually being that in 20 years the hardware would be hacked - not because processing power of PCs would get high enough;
Even if there is it's highly unlikely that any games will be remotely playable by then.
teh_speleegn_polease Wrote:and c) there are still quite a few tasks done by home computers that would benefit from quantum processing. In fact, any task which can be broken up into parallel tasks would be sped up considerably by quantum computers. And those tasks aren't rare - think of modern GPUs with thousands upon thousands of cores. A quantum GPU would probably mean that display technology would be the main bottleneck in graphics quality. And of course, quantum CPUs wouldn't be useless either.
Nothing you just said makes any sense and you have no evidence to back up your assumptions. I hope you understand if I'm going to take the word of physicists who spent their lives studying and working on these things over yours.

It does.
teh_speleegn_polease Wrote:In 50 years, I'll cite the quantum PC in my office (or not). Let's just wait a bit till then.
No need. Just read about what we already know about quantum computing.
teh_speleegn_polease Wrote:I might have been generalising too much in my statement above though.
Yes.
I don't know about you guys but even if somehow by magic in 20 years quantum computers become small, energy efficiency, quite, affordable, fast, and genuinly useful (software that actually works and shows significant benefit over a tradional computer) I still probably wouldn't want to use them. The liquid helium isotopes needed to power the heat pumps are extremely expensive, don't last very long, extremely difficult to transport, and extremely dangerous to use. And even if you extremely careful and do everything right like a proper scientist while operating the thing it could still easily experience decoherence and become worthless in an instant.
