Why need to do a PS4 to PC when Sony already has the Vita to PS4 going. :p

At least Sony make their own operating system & Playstation Store software for PC, then it will be Sony exclusive.

Just imagination. xP

Because they're about to become a third party?

Yeah, thats why they are releasing a new console...to become third party.

Pfffft, whatever. Releasing new consoles hasn't stopped them from being doomed for over a hundred years: the NX ain't gonna save them.

I think it's just a matter of time until most games are on PC and/or mobile.

Yeah by the new owner.

 

I was thinking of getting one two years ago but decided to go with Asus for my laptop when I heard Sony sold the brand :(!


VAIO was originally a brand of Sony Corporation, introduced in 1996. Sony sold its PC business to the investment firm Japan Industrial Partners in February 2014 as part of a restructuring of the corporation to focus on mobile devices.

This reminds of recent talk on Platnetside 2, some still think it;s a Sony owned game and yet they sold off both the game and the studio that handled it, now Daybreak own it.



Step right up come on in, feel the buzz in your veins, I'm like an chemical electrical right into your brain and I'm the one who killed the Radio, soon you'll all see

So pay up motherfuckers you belong to "V"

Because they want to sell the PS4, perhaps it's difficult for some to believe but console exclusives are a major selling point.

Yep. I was part of a thread over at GAF in which the argument was exclusives don't sell consoles. I simply asked: 'why do some gamers own both consoles?'



 

The PS5 Exists.

They know what a true exclusive is. Microsoft hasn't since they entered the industry.

So why would anyone be mad then? Phil Spencer SAID that they would be bringing more titles to PC and start focusing on Xbox AND PC again, and now that it's being done to the benefit of the gamers and Remedy people are mad? lol the gaming world is so funny.

Ive never seen fashion lovers mad because more than one store sells a t-shirt from the same brand.

the only way your analogy is relavant is if for several years the brand hyped how the t-shirt is only coming to one store and that particular store had a $400 membership fee to be allowed to shop.  because you really want that t-shirt you go and spend $400 on that membership fee (which has a $60 per year renewal fee btw) in anticipation of being able to buy that t-shirt only to find out a month before release the t-shirt is also coming to walmart.

if that were the case there would be quiet a lot of pissed off fashion lovers.
