Nearly ALL multiplats hit PCs but they do boost console sales a lot. Also, its too soon to say that the two exclusives aren't spectacular, as they haven't even released. They are, in fact, VERY important as they can bring in the racing and platformer crowd to the PS4.


I just think that in this gen, especially, its going to be less and less relevant, those who will buy multiplats for the console already have the console. People buy consoles for exclusives or consolve-limited releases like Destiny. Sony bet a lot on Destiny's long run and it really feels like they put up nothing during the holiday to compete with it. Would be great irony if the game ended up bitting them in ass in the long run.

As for the exclusives, the DriveClub is niche. It may push some consoles but I don't see some sort of mass spending spree on consoles just because of a racing sim. And LBP3 isn't exclusive and not exactly a title that will shift people from PS3s to PS4 or from anything else to PS4.

The release schedule is not the best for the holiday. That's why I am expecting them to do a GTAV bundle otherwise they have little in the block.

Your personal wishes are irrelevant IMO. Many people bough PS4/XB1 last year for multiplats, even though they also released on PC. Even this year many people bought PS4 when Watch Dogs released, even though it came to busy. You've got to realise that some people just simply prefer consoles over PCs for gaming in general.

You can't say that just because these new consoles are weaker than high-end PCs, no one will buy them for multiplats available on PC. That is just false. Some people do, but many do not.
