YOur just gona keep on going, right? Fine. Did I ever said it wont have? No I keep talking about the start, there wont be any in the begining and by then when the installbase reaches a desent number on pc's, it wont matter, consoles will have over triple the installbase, so there will be way more big exclusives in the future on consoles. Just like there are now, just like there has always been in the past, since gaming ever started and it will cntinu to be like that.

Think of it as how great a lexus is, everyone would like one, but most people cant afford it so they buy toyota. How many more toyotas are sonld than lexus? or hondas than acuras? or audi than larboghinys? note that I use car modles that are owned by the same company so they have similar builds.

This other application argument is nonsense. most people who have high end rigs for like video editing or work related stuff, dont use that for gaming. Most people who see some great use in studying, work practice or whatever and buy a $2000 pc + VR will probably not use it for games. So its pointless for game developers.

YOu want to keep going?.

1) You imply either way with the way you talk about it. I don't know why you seem to think a single generation of a console can somehow dawrf a number that has been growing for decades, but hey that's what we're going to go with what you infer towards. Your version of "big exclusives" seems to differ greatly from mine.

2) PC isn't owned by someone or a company though, big difference and yet it can have it's own form of "big exclusives", burt you'll no doubt bend the rules of what an exclusive is or some bullshit "true exclusive" (come on that dance is really old by now).

3) It's not nonsense, you just refuse to acknowledge that VR will serve other purposes other than gaming and PC is that platform to allow for that the PS4 simply won't, it;s like you expect the air force to strictly buy PS4's to do VR training instead of using the computers they have at base that are specifically designed for their training purposes or a friggin hospital, whenw as the last time you went to a hospital where reception or doctors used a console to do their work?. Last time I ever heard of a console ever being used in a big way was years ago with last gen where scientists hooked up a load of PS3's to do all sorts of data crunching and even then they were used for a limited time since they are no longer being used en mass.

4) I know plenty of people who use video editing rigs for their own gaming purposes, especially artists I follow around the world, but I guess they don't exist or we'll pull some bullshit "yeah but they are the minority so there!", still doesn't stop the fact that people canbuild high end rigs or medium ones to do what they want and also use VR if they wanted. VR isn't only meant for gaming and never will be because there have been countless times where we've invented something for a single use, only for time to turn said invention to serve multiple purposes, the same will happen with VR like it or not and it's going to happen with the platform that makes your games, that makes your very console, that makes virtually anything these days through design.

You can keep this going all day but it's still going to go to the same tune.

1) I wont deny it might sound like that. Why do I think A single generation will beat it, cuz it always does. After a gen ends, there are technically millions of pc's out there that are still usefull for gaming and people just started buying the new gen of consoles, but every gen consoles outsell it by a land slide. Could next gen be the one that changes this, maybe, but history say that its not going to happen.

2) No I will never doubt that it can have it, That was never the argument. The argument is that consoles have more, always had.

3) Did you read what I wrote? I said that pcs have that use and more, but wwhat does it ave to do with gaming? Will I buy a $2000 product intended for gaming and start using it for medical purpouses? or dre flying? So all thouse uses do nothing for gaming. So why would I not buy a $600 product then that it is used for gaming,? the sole purpose I want it for. So no, because people ave it for thouse uses, does not mean devs will makes for it.

4) I should have counted 3 nd 4 together, bu seriously, do you read at all? I said most people dont and that will still be what devs look at. And I will againg redirect you to the topic at hand, wich platform will have more suport? Op dint specify games to be the support, but I im willing to bet that is what he meant, also willing to bet that is what most of us on this thread are assuming and want in the future.
