You must have not read my comments, I said consoles will be just PCs, they are just pre built. You can play PC on the couch, on your TV, with the same cable, with the same controller. Also you can play consoles on a PC monitor, on a desk, on a chair.

You cant read? I said PC gaming is cheaper than console gaming, you spend 500dollars just to play online during 10 years. PC gamers pay 0 dollars, also if you buy 50 games, it will cost you an average 1000 dollars more on consoles, so you spend an average 1500 dollars on a console.

The difference between PC and consoles have been shortening for years now.

Slowly console gamers are realizing the advantage of PCs

1 - Easy to upgrade, don't have to buy the whole machine (example ps4 to ps4 pro)

2 - You can do a lot more with a PC

3 - You get a lot more games on PC

4 - Emulators

5 - Much cheaper games

6 - Free online

7 - Choice of a controller

8 - Choice of either graphics or framerate

9 - No need for game patches, all games become 'patched' once you buy a better graphics card

10 - A bigger range of games, example strategy and management

PS - I do not have a PC as I'm travelling for work, or else I'd gone PC years ago, with that said I love my consoles too, as long as they have plenty exclusives, put those exclusives on PC such as Horizon, then consoles become less and less necessary. I plan to have a desk with a monitor, and 2 cables, 1 going to the monitor, one going to the projector, so I can just switch between 26inch monitor, or 120 inch projector with just a click. I will use the same controller, nacon revolution unlimited on ps4 and projector, its easy to switch, basically just put the usb receptor on ps4 or PC that's all, no other options to change.

As much as I love to play on the couch, I realized recently when playing N64 on my laptop, that I get more alert when sitting down at a desk, the couch gets me more lazy and sleepy. So its good to have the choice.

A lot of gamers have their preferences, and so they are willing to wait for a game they want to come to their platform of preference. Sony should know PC gamers won't jump and get a PS4/5 to play their games. They are willing to wait for either the game to "legitimately" come or wait for emulation. I have a PS4, but I rarely touch it, and cause of that I will not get a PS5.
And speaking of waiting, a lot of gamers wait for prices of games to come down. Sony games go down in price very quickly, they lose their value just months after release. I didn't get HZD until exactly one year after it's release (Feb. 2018) for $15, and it was the Complete Edition which came out 3 months prior (Dec. 2017).

That's completely wrong, Sony and everyone knows that a lot of PC gamers bought a console just for GTA5, spiderman, Uncharted and so on, I even know PC gamers back in the day that bought an xbox just for Halo, and more recently just for Forza Horizon. The last of us 2 will sell a lot of consoles even to PC gamers, that game alone.

And when you buy a console for just 1 game, you tend to get interest in other exclusives too.

Exclusives are important, and a necessity to sell your console, I don't think they should sacrifice that for a quick cash. They have to think long term.

Exclusives are anti-consumer, it means you have to pay more to play more games, why do consumers want that? Oh that's right, because they are consumers not customers, consumers eat up anything companies tell them while customers shop around.

360 RROD was covered by warranty and MS spent $1.5b to fix the issue, even with spending $1.5b the 360 still lost less money than the PS3.

My point is with healthy competition, the userbase divides, Sony went from 150m customers to 80m, Xbox went from 30m customers to 80m and Nintendo went from 20m customers to 100m customers. This gen the competition wasn't healthy until the S and Switch released however that was midway through the generation.

The surge of Xbox is being missed read for some odd reason. I am not referring to this generation I am referring to the Xbox brand and the decision making and next gen planning. Xbox is going to be bigger next gen. As others have mentioned, its what MS is building upon for next gen. If you think Sony is just going to walk out the gate with PS2 or PS4 numbers expecting no competition from Xbox or Nintendo than you need to take the glasses for a min and look around you.

Next gen is looking more like Gen 7 if the competition remains heavily competitive with no slip ups. 

Also half of 157m is 78m which is very close to 87m. Which rounds out to be half.

The 360 also sold 1b software on a platform that sold less than 90m consoles, its the only console to achieve that milestone so thats a feat in itself and guess what makes more money.. suprise, the software, the PS3 sold less software overall to the 360 aswell.

At the End of the day, the more competition can lead to a more level playing field like we saw last gen. In this case, if all 3 brands have great consoles at launch than expect tight sales between the 3.

But people defending another company is ok? That’s a double standard. Also it isn’t 2013 anymore :)

People still attack Xbox? How sad.

Go watch a sport.

We aren't throwing our PC's out of the Windows just because we bought a console.

I own a Switch, Xbox One X, Wii U, Xbox 360, Original Xbox, Super Nintendo, Nintendo, Atari 2600, Sega Master System, Playstation, Playstation 2, Playstation 3 and probably a few more I have forgotten.

I still game on PC.

PC also has exclusives, it's not like exclusives somehow only exist on consoles, far from it.

You must have reading comprehension, I never said you should throw away your PC, you missed my point entirely. Read again, I said exclusives sell consoles both to PC gamers and also to console gamers. 

Sure in the ideal world, consoles would not exist and sony and Microsoft and Nintendo would develop only for PC, then everyone could just stick with PC and play all games ever released in the history of gaming. That would be perfect, but that's not the world we live in.

If sony didn't want to sell consoles, then why don't they just quit the console market? Obviously they want to sell the consoles and for that, they need to convince people, hence the exclusives.

Consumer friendly is when you go out and buy a DvD movie at a video store and it will work in any DvD player you own. 

Not consumer friendly is when you are forced to buy into hardware to watch and play a product you brought just because companies don't want you playing there games on other devices. 

In the gaming industry, you need to buy into multiple devices to play all the games, if a game comes out that interests you but made by a brand that you don't own, you have to spend more money to play it. Much like how the companies are pulling out from Nvidia NOW (Streaming) due to they all want to make there own Streaming service to nickel and dime there customers. This is the same mentality as console makers. Want to play there game than buy there $400 device and also subscribe to them to play the other half of the game (Multiplayer)

PC Gaming has been showing the way for years, yet many devs still want to avoid it because they want to sell you Hardware that expires and requires the next model to continue playing there software. That is not consumer friendly.

Rise of the Tomb Raider was not consumer friendly, neither was Street Fighter 5 which was even worse. All timed exclusives and brought out games are anti-consumer.

Playstation makes 4 times the revenue Valve does. If you're talking about success, most companies don't come close to Playstation. 

Nah, you listed consoles that had bad third party support or poor hardware. None of this applies to Playstation.

Playstation dominated Nintendo because they had exclusives that you couldn't play on a N64 or GC. 

Xbox gave up all their exclusives and crashed their business. 

Thank you for further proving the point.
