To all those people saying "I will continue gaming on pc" - but what do you play then? I always thought it was Sony's strong 1st-party-games that make you buy Sony-consoles and not the free-online and "no drm"? Especially because "no drm" is already gone, iirc.

What do you play on PC? Why games of course :)

PC has a larger gaming liberary than the Xbox360, PS3 and Wii combined.

The Deal breaker for me this gen is the account bound retail games.

Steam gets away with it by being an online service, by NOT being a publicly traded company and by earning the respect and trust of PC gamers through years of service and giving back to the community.

Neither Sony nor MS has my trust to operate a bind on account console, PC afterall, is 'backward' compatible, what happens in 6 years time when the next PS and Xbox is not?

I am the type of customer that Sony and MS loves, I am a heavy consumer with a combined liberay of over 100 PS3/360 games this console life cycle; I stricktly avoid used again unless its impossible to get a game brand new, and I will buy games that I don't even expect to play at full price just to support a developer that I like.

Next gen neither Sony or MS is getting my patronage if they go through with this debacle.

I am not alone.


We are 7,1 bn people on this planet - no matter how obscure your opinion is, there is always someone with the same opinion... But obviously you are not the one I was asking. I was asking the ppl who intended to buy ps4 and would perhaps switch to pc-only given a strategy-change by Sony.

I didn't want a repition of a pc-consoles-summary, we heard it too often here.
