| bubblegamer said: And why would the PS4 be singled out in this comparison? Is the X1 not able to compete or something? We're mostly console gamers so PC games don't matter that much anyway. |
Xbox One doesn't have many games either, but it has more retail exclusives than the PS4.
| pezus said: When have they touted that? Most of the indies that are timed exclusive to PS4 are timed console exclusives. Like Transistor, which is coming to PC at the same time as PS4 |
You're right. Thought they said exclusive debut back at E3 and everything was just delayed. They said exclusive console debut.
| Dr.Henry_Killinger said: Not really, there is no PC company directly competing with Sony, MS, or Nintendo for that matter. Espcially when SOE has games on PC as well. Its a lot more complicated then the competition between consoles |
They don't have to be competing with a company to be competing the with the platform. Regardless that the PC isn't a single entity, it still shares a large amount of games with Sony consoles, now more than ever with Sony pushing indies so hard.
If you'd like to say they're specifically competing with a gaming company though, then why not say Steam? Most console retail games that are on PC are tied to Steam. Would Sony rather just allow Steam to take your money or would they rather have your money? It's been awhile, but Sony's been becoming more aggressive with digital sales could be to attempt to compete with PC's digital sales. Right now Sony's running a sale where 30 games are being sold for $.99 called the PS Store Flash Sale for example. Is this short sales name coincidence, or was Sony inspired by the Steam Flash Sale name?
