Right, but its still splitting the community. The community that has been built over the last two years over PS, Xbox, and PC, (and will keep building over the years till BeaS releases) is now going to get shattered and I hardly doubt anyone but the most dedicated are going to roll out several hundred dollars for a PS4 and, as such, the "core community" is not an appreciable or continuous term to apply here.


The majority of Sales come from PlayStation anyways and Demon's Soul sold 1.69 million on PS3 alone. I think Project Beast will do very, very well for Sony. And it's not like Dark Souls is gone, the B team is probably working on Dark Souls 3 for everyone else. All this means is PS4 is the defnitive home for the Souls series. 

The majority for what? How do you even know how the sales are for PC considering they are not tracked by... just about anyone? It will sell, certainly, but it doesn't have the same audience to stand upon as, say, Dark Souls to Dark Souls 2. The transition for many from Demon's to Dark was on word of mouth and positive reviews and the fact that it was openly available on multiple venues. From that fledgling basis you grew a community from DaS to DaS2.

That's gone if it goes back to being exclusive hence why I said you cannot count the old fanbase or core as anything reliable. The hardcore audience might blidnly toss money to the PS4, but most others will simply sit back, watch, wait, and, possibly, never buy it and just wait for DaS3 or whatever is available more openly.
