LMAO! Retail cuts on *PC* i repeat *PC*

Where do you buy your games on PC? This is the reason why Origin and Uplay exists. Its because those big AAA games have been leaking money into the retailers, and they wanted that for themselves.

Well yes of course, EA was greedy like always, and decided to make their own client for the EA games instead of paying Valve 30% with each cut. EA receives 59.99$ renevue for each new game I buy on Origin. Instead of 41.99$ on Steam after the 30% cut for Valve.

Ubisoft didn't go that far, their games are still on Steam, but it's the only place to get the Steam version. All keycodes on the internet and physical copies for Ubisoft games redeem on Uplay no Steam.



Around the Network

Sony is trying to sell software on playstation Platforms. Sony is not trying to sell PlayStation Software made for their consoles on PC's.
They do not want to sell less playstation systems. Despite what many #Sony 3rd party bell ringers are saying. Sony does not want the majority of Gamers news media outlets putting out or implying ..not to buy a PlayStation console over buying a PC instead..if you do not think that would happen here on VGchartz,N4G,IGN,Kotaku,Neogaf,Etc.
You would be sadly mistaken.the news media are just waiting to be able to splash that message over and over again.
That damages the console business if your trying to sell a console!

Sony is not trying to sell its living room playstation console software on a PC, that is Something that Microsoft does..but as for Nintendo & Sony they are trying to sell a reason to purchase their software on the  console's they make not PC's that they do not make.

Yeah and my point was just that unless ALL 1.6 million copies was bought through their store, there is a very small chance that they would actually make that much money off of a port.

Beside Sony can actually ignore that market completely because they have their own platform they want to expand.

Its the same logic as Sony not releasing games on Xbox. They want to increase the value of their own platform by keeping things exclusive.

But like I said, Sony doesn't make any money on the hardware, only on games and PS+

This! Why again would Sony want to devalue to selling a Playstation console , by Helping bolster a platform that Sony has no vested interest in.

 

If Microsoft sell its 1st party exclusives on PC its still counted as Microsoft Exclusive.

If Sony or Nintendo do the same it devalues the reason to own a playstation or a Nintendo game console..both Sony and Nintendo console games get emulated many times anyway on PC , So why would Sony or Nintendo help devalue their Console games exclusives further?

 

Because you can bet your freaking bottom $ many news media and gamers on here and every board would say ..why purchase a Game console?

 

When if Sony and Nintendo make 1st party games made for PC including console's only helps bring more attention of your PC can replace your Console.

Its Extend- Embrace- Extinguish

Sony nor Nintendo I doubt want the game console market to end up the exact same way the PC market is already.

At launch Sony didn't make any money on Hardware but a couple of months later they were already profiting off of hardware alone.

http://www.gamespot.com/articles/sony-says-ps4-unlike-their-previous-consoles-is-already-contributing-profit/1100-6419822/

Sony has literally been profiting off of hardware for over 2 years.

[But like I said, Sony doesn't make any money on the hardware, only on games and PS+]

Not true at all, Sony does make money on the hardware..PSVR is being sold at a profit..by itself without software ,PS4 is being sold @ Profit. On hardware alone.

Do you know how much they make per 1 unit? Last time I checked AMD was the one making tons of profit. Especially when it's sold at under 300$ when on sale.

The lowest price I've seen here in Europe was 270€ in Germany

That's AMD, as a Company and Sony is Sony the main point without Software being Included Playstation is making Money..Sony playstation is a subsidiary conglomerate now..its still its whole owned, but its a held asset. So not for public trading..Sony PlayStation Run as a separate corporation. 

So there is no way to see other than what they make on each ps4 or PSVR. That internal Data is not made public , because its private held as a Subsidiary conglomerate.

Playstation is not a "division" of Sony its a Subsidiary Conglomerate.

Unlike Microsoft's Xbox which is a "division" of Microsoft.

Sony doesn't buy consumer graphics cards at consumer prices. What is your point?
