The argument just seems to be "if it isn't required for me to game, then it's anti-consumer"

Besides the DS3 could be cheaper if it removed six-axis and rumble as well, both features not needed to play games.   you could cut costs vastely if you cut out those things.  Imagine a bare bones controller.  No rumble, no six-axis, no light thing, no gyroscope, no touch pad, no whatever else controllers have these days.  I could easily play Call of Duty without any of those features.  You could buy a controller for like $10 instead of like $60, or whatever rediculous prices controller are these days.  man I used to think back when I was younger that a $30 controller was expensive.

 

But here is a question I would like answered cause I don't actually know, since I haven't had a disc drive in like 5 years on my computer.   Any PC gamers can you answer me this.  What kind of drive do we need these days to play/install a game on the computer?  Do I need  Blu Ray drive on my computer to play/install Battlefied 4 when it comes out?  Or can I just buy a standard DVD drive?

If not, then there's my point.  

How can PC's, which are more powerful than the PS4 and Xbox One, play these new games with only a DVD drive and yet ps4/one NEED a blu ray drive?


If you think thats the argument i dont know where youve been this entire time. I repeat for the millionth time no one is talking anti consumer here. Also, no one would argue that if sony, ms, or Nintendo threw in a crappy indie game without raising cost (ie something not needed to enjoy the system since A. You mmight not care for the particular and B. You can be buying the system strictly for AAA games. I mean i dont know if i even opened wii sports.) that would be anti consumer. Look, i know you guys want to come in here and make a quick jab and point but think about what you are saying
