It is bullshit because there are a lot of middleware and tools to works with both.

But lets guess it is true:

Develop DX12: small userbase
Develop PS4 = big userbase

If I was a developer who I will choose? It is a hard decision lol


The amount of NEW PCs sold in one month is more then then PS4 has sold in almost 2 years (290 million sold last year)..   Even the "slowed" sales of PCs .. Yes not all of them are "pc gaming" PCs.. but either way..  well more then 100 million PCs out there will benefit from DX12..     The USERBASE for DX12 is at minumum 5 times greater then PS4..   Steam itself has over 100 million users..  and that doesn't represent every gamer in the world..   so. yeah..  Windows 10 being a free upgrade will help adoption and support for DX12 even more..    

PS4 = Small Userbase

DX12 = Massive worldwide userbase.. 

So this means the PS4 Versions of games outsells the PC+XB1 Version with a community of "gamers" which is 100+ Million

This just makes the PS4 even better
They can develop for 1 system and make the same sales probably without addition problems to develop for other systems.


What i want to say
The 100+ Million active userbase of steam or PC in general if we add Blizzard and so on doesn't mean shit if the people there don't buy anything

Yeah sure 4+ Million people or so log in daily to play Dota2 or League of Legends
But oh...Even CoD sells like shit on PC.If the most mainstream game of all time can't sell there why should others put the DX12PC over the PS4 aka where the games sell?
This just means Steam/PC and their userbase is sad to look at - No one seems to care for most games but MOBAs,WoW+Blizzard Games and other stuff.
I mean they are happy on PC to sell 500k-1 Million Units of certain games while the console versions easily go into the multiple million figures.

And the PS4 Version of Witcher 3 will outsell the 2 other versions combined.
So there are actually 100+ Million Steam Users...Man CDPR will have at least 90 Million sold units alone on Steam right?No they won't - They can be happy if they reach a Million on there which is just laughable.Especially BEFORE Steamsales where you get Witcher 3 for 5$
For full price it will probably sell even less and not even close to what the PS4 Version will do.
