First I like to say I am laughing at the fact you're ignoring the Bayonetta arguement because all of the talk about how people buy ps4 games more because of slightly better graphics is pretty much destoryed. And again if revewers see that the ps4 version is way better they would've rate higher. They would think the xbox one verson was gimped. That is why all the games I've list on the ps3 version was docked points. Also, the whole "rob yourself out of luxery" is pretty pointless because what about PC gaming? PC offers way better graphics, fps ,customization and more. If you really want the "superior multiplat game" than it's obvious you would get the pc version. But guess what, almost nobody in the real world cares about slighly better graphics between ps4/ xbox one. Almost nobody cares about superior multiplatform titles because if they do games like Bayonetta on the xbox 360 would've sold more and pc gaming would be more popular. The fact is most consumers just look at the game and think it is the same. Sony gets a way with a lot in the console world because of their brand name alone. Besides I rather invest my money on a console with great exclusives, great online infastructure that doesn't get hack or doesn't go offline all the time and knowing the company behind it won't go bankrupt anytime soon. |
Unfortunately, you're only talking in opinions rather than facts, so your arguments don't hold much water here.
The Bayonetta argument actually supports my reasoning and shoots down yours. The PS3 suffered from many technical issues including a shoddy framerate, which greatly affects how one plays the game. This is why points were taken off on the PS3 version. Also, Bayonetta didn't sell well for reasons unrelated to graphics performance. It was just not a popular game hence why the 2nd game is exclusive to the Wii U.
Not everyone can afford a high performing gaming rig. It requires a lot of money to build one not to mention PC versions of multiplats are rarely fully optimized. And if your PC isn't good enough to play the games at max settings, then tough luck. Gotta shell out more money to upgrade the GPU. People buy the PS4 because it's very convenient and all it takes is to plop the Bluray disc inside the tray.
If most people look at the game and think its the same, why are we seeing PS4 multiplats seeling considerably better? These additional sales don't just pop out of holes in the ground. That's because consumers can perceive differences in resolution and framerate. As I have mentioned already, there were studies that looked into this matter. http://www.digitaltrends.com/home-theater/720p-vs-1080p-can-you-tell-the-difference-between-hdtv-resolutions/ and (http://web.cs.wpi.edu/~claypool/papers/fr/fulltext.pdf
