I was referring to another user's insistence on being a PC gamer in spite of their often irrational defense of Xbox.

Different version of the same experience. It would be like saying PSVR is a totally different experience whether your using a controller or the ps move sticks/sharp shooter. They may enhance it, but they don't change the PSVR hardware itself.

Based on what I was quoted on below, what I should have said was Switch is 3 different versions of the same experience. You can change up the way you use the hardware, but the hardware itself remains the same.

If your going to pool all PC's into one category, and all mobile into another, then PS4, XB1, and Switch, etc, would all fall under consoles. To divide one category and separate others makes no sense. If you want to split them all into each of their respective niches, then the list needs to be much more in depth, which would ruin the point trying to be made.

Why do people attribute PS3's failings to arrogance and not the rightful $600 price tag? I mean sure, you had to be kinda arrogant to think that wasn't going to be an issue but It was def the pricing plus the year head start for 360 that helped it stay ahead of the PS3.

The reality is that the Playstation platform has always out performed the competition. And usually at a margin that is undeniable. PS1, PS2 and now PS4 each have 50% plus marketshare of their respective Gens. The PS3 was the only anomaly. Yet even still....if you take away the 360's head start and align their releases you will see the PS3 outpaced the 360 almost the entire gen. IE, PS3 was always more popular worldwide than Xbox and would have handily out sold it if they came out same time. Arrogance and huge price point didn't even stop the PS brand, it was the tenacity of their competition.

There is a thin line between Confidence and Arrogance. Is Sony really arrogant when they have the history in performance and sales to back up that their method works?

Dude, you're nailing this shit. I briefly had the thought of touching on the idea that there was much more at play in the PS3 era than the corporate image Sony was projecting, but didn't have the energy to do it, much less deal with the potential follow up retorts.

I am not pooling PC or mobile into any category because of how the cross-platform market joke was defined when this quote began. Let me type it out so it is easy to understand.

Mobile + PC + NS + XB1 > Mobile + PC + PS4

You can cancel out Mobile and PC, since they are equal on both sides of the equation. Either way it was you who (jokingly?) wanted to add PSVR into the equation, so I jokingly said Switch can do that too and without an add-on.

OK, that ends the summary. Maybe the division should be on companies rather than platforms; since Sony does not want to cross-platform with Microsoft or Nintendo, but they don't care about Apple, Google, Valve, etc. Is there even cross-platform with the Windows Store games?

Who said it is OK? Unfortunately people have to put up with this fidget spinner of the gaming world.

Best on PC.
Better graphics.
Better framerates.
Higher resolutions.
Better controls.

The lack of crossplay won't really hurt the PS4 much anymore. But the PS5 could get a rocky start, especially if the Xbox next is much more competitive compared to what the One was to the PS4. If Microsoft plays it's cards right and brings a powerful, well supported Xbox from the get-go next gen, then the less consumer-friendly policies of Sony will bite them in their ass, just like it did to the Xbox this gen. Doubly so if the Switch is still beasting by then.

Fixed.

Only if they do implement BC, which ain't certain at all
