I feel like the PS4 is lacking because in much the same way the xbox one is. The only thing saving the PS4 from being exactly like the xbox is exclusivity locked away from other platforms. Sony seems to be taking notes from Microsoft in allowing formerly PS exclusive games on PC, like Flower and Journey. I really doubt it would end with those two games. It's already happening with xbox-- It's becoming a service. Opening up the Xbox platform to windows 10 is a great idea, considering the install base. Sony has done things before after microsoft, and I think that with windows being an open platform, it makes sense to open up the market to the PC users. In the event that exclusives come to PC, what could a PS5 do, like the switch before it, in differentiating it from the PC enough to justify owning both, with games being equal? Since you guys have totally missed the point of the thread, I've re-written it and added a photo of only my playstation consoles I have all of them... (Yes, I have other consoles.) |
It all really depends on your current situation and living style. If your younger living at home with your parent, going to college or working, this will greatly change your ideal way to play. Your living situation and gaming setup at home is a major factor. Depends if your a serious gamer or play casually. Controller vs Mouse/Keyboard gaming. Your current setup is probably more ideal for PC gaming.
I think your total missing the point that yourself and anyone that write in these forums are not part of the casual market. Console has a greater appeal to the casual market, people that only want to play Call of Duty, Fifa, NBA & NFL for example
Doesn't mean that if your hardcore gamer you will only play on PC. Consoles gaming is meant to be stress free living room or where ever your TV is located experience. In my case I have a computer room, but I only use it for work and browsing the internet. We only have a Macbook Pro and Surface Pro in the house because I really don't want to game on PC. I have a gaming room setup in the basement that is ideal to play consoles and Nintendo Switch for gaming on the go. I setup my PS4 on the other TV in the main living room where it get used mostly for netflix or when I get around to Sony Exclusives.
If you want to play on screen bigger then 27" your best option is to play on consoles. Your also ignoring the entry price point of PC vs Consoles. Sure you can buy a gaming PC for $500 but really if your a hardcore gamer you'd never consider anything that cheap. If your concern about price, console is much better option.
There many people that are currently still playing on OG PS4 and Xbox one ready to make the jump and people change in lifestyle that make playing on consoles much more attractive. Console gaming will eventually fade away mostly because of change in technology and reduce need for the consoles box to run the games. But, that in the future for now consoles gaming is stronger then ever and next gen is going bigger then this gen of consoles.
