Is this a joke thread

Why? It is an excellent idea for gamers (as the thread asks) without a doubt, it might not be so good for Sony, but that is hard to judge.

It's good for gamers that want to play on PC*

I think its a good idea. I think Microsoft and Nintendo should too, but I would still like for each company to have some exclusives but I think they could easily help each other game-wise.

Microsoft already does.

Windows 10 and their "store" and you can basically play any Xbox One game.

This thread OP must think Xbox One is a stupid console, right? Since its games are playable on PC.

Not realreally third party enough.  They only support xbox one and windows 10 store which are there platforms. They do have some games on steam and they should put more games on steam imo.

 

OP- Playstation should put their games on steam. Would allow for more gamers to have access to games they have never played. PSNOW is a good first step for putting Playstation games on PC but putting games on steam would be a way better.



I don't see why not, they could continue to release hardware for the console market and port the games to Steam or their own storefront. I guess they're already sort of doing that now with PS Now...

I know this is just a joke thread in response to BraLod thread but still...

Sony going third party is a very stupid idea, i mean Sonys biggest strenght is being a platform with the strongest third party support, its the only console that has both STRONG Japanese and western third party support, the Xbox is dead when it comes to getting japanese games, and the Switch is almost as dead when it comes to getting third party western games like Titanfall, COD, Battlefield, Red Dead Redemption, Doom etc.

So far PS is the only console that can give me games like Titanfall 2, GTA V, Doom, and others along with games like Neptunia, Tales of, Nier Automata and Persona 5.

You'll get all of those games on a PC, with better performance, plus all the PC exclusives games.

 

Win-win situation.

Anyway depending on your definition on third-party Sony are heading there, PlayStation will be a cloud based service in the future (post-ps5).

So there games will be available on any device from Tablets, Laptops and TV's.

1) Read again Bro

3) PC doesnt have Persona 5 :D

And you can play with a regular controller, plug the HDMI cable in the TV for those who prefer to play on a console

Except forall the benefits that differentiates Consoles gaming from PC Gaming.

1 - Physical Releases & Used Games, these are practically non-existant on PC (though this could change on console in the coming decade.) This is especially invaluable in regions with poor internet infrastructure or data-caps.

2 - On PC you're basically forced to use Keyboard + Mouse in the vast majority of games for online multiplayer or suffer a massive disadvantage.

3 - Price/Performance, try building a PC as powerful as a PS4 for £200, Hell Sainsbury's were selling used XBO's for £130 the other day. Bluray Drive + HDD + Input Device (gamepad) + Case + PSU + CPU + GPU + Ram + necessary cables and a crappy headset in some cases.

4 - Gamepad Usability, this can likely be made better on PC with certain applications, but navigating through Windows 10 on your gamepad while lounging on the couch? Good luck.

5 - Centralized System, Windows is an open system, which does have many advantages over a closed system, however there's also many advantages to having a closed system. Everything is in one place, everything is official. You don't have to download Origin, Steam, Uplay, or any third party applicatoins. You don't have to go googling for this or for that application/software/tool, everything available on PlayStation is on the Store, it's simple. You pay a price for the simplicity in the extent of it's functionality but for most that price is worth paying. PS4 - One Friends List, One Library, One OS, One System, One Store.

6 - Idiot Proof. Unlike PC's you don't need to check system requirements, you don't have to edit graphics options to get the game to run how you want it to, and the system itself is a lot easier to navigate.

7 - Trophies/Achievements, this is a big deal for some (Ka-pi!) and steam achievements are bloody awful, as they have no seperate value and no standardisation between games. I.E This game has 5 steam achievements, this game has 800. Each steam achievement is worth... 1 achievement.

Even though i love some of Sonys exclusives (and they interest me more than the exclusives of the other 2), its third party support is the biggest reason why the other 2 consoles dont even stand a chance.

You just need to buy a controller and (dunno if it's possible) to connect a PC to a tv. It is like a console now.

 

Also, Atlus would have released Persona 5 on the PC. It's not like they made the game because a ps console. They make it for the money, regardless of the platform.
