Why would I or anyone ever buy a a pc for over twice the price of a console to play 20 year old games? Do you really think that is a pluss in consumers eyes? If thats the case, then why not get any old cheap ass laptop to play thouse games? I would love for you to tell me wich are thouse pc exclusives that do beetr than console exclusives. I know you are probably gona show me the only 2 or 3 that exist and show me a ton of games on consoles that dint sell well, but I would still like to see. ANd the real question here is, what the hell does that have to do with VR? Thouse decade old games will not be playeble on vr so your response is not even addressing the issue here. 

 If you are going to tell us cuz you can have 2x the power for 4x the price, then please dont bother. Devs have shown that they dont care and will always develope for the lowest comon denominator with the highest installbase. So please, bring a real point to the conversation.

Because you can't win a power argument you move it over to a price-argument? Fantastic.
1) Games are Cheaper.
2) Free online.
If you have a massive games library, the PC will offset the hardware cost with cheaper software, simple as that, but that doesn't apply to everyone.
You also don't have to spend $800 on a PC. You could spend $400, you have choice.


Okay. Games that sold better on PC than any single console: Diablo 3, Minecraft, Half Life, Counterstrike, Payday 2 and many more.
Valve stated that Portal sold better on PC than console.

And this is also an interesting read: http://www.dsogaming.com/news/report-a-vast-number-of-multi-platform-games-sell-better-on-the-pc-than-on-xbox-one/

I would be surprised if franchises like Skyrim sold better on PC thanks to the PC's longer legs. (Give the game a sale, it shifts 10/100's of thousands of more copies and hit the top of the sales charts on Steam, console it's fallen into obscurity as far as sales is concerned.)

But I see how it is with you and a couple of others. For you vr is not even the discussion topic, Its ps4 vs pc. If your going to devate reasons why a pc is better then do it somewhere else. None of the reasons you have given are any reason why VR will have support.


The point is that VR requires power. Allot of power. Most think only a tiny amount of PC's are capable of that extra hardware demand, but if you had bothered to keep up with the thread you would know this.

VR will have support on PC because it's an open platform. Mods. Mods and more Mods, I wonder how many developers on console will patch their games to bring in VR support? Probably not many.

Power was never an argument. You guys brught that in cuz you thought it somehow was impportant, while history keeps prooving devs will adjust to the biggest installbase and lowest power all the time.

Games are not cheaper, thats the biggest lie I heard And I used to be a cosntant steam player. But as long as games are not on sale, they tend to be more expensive than a retail copy of a console game. I have checked manny games. And I dont like waiting for sales that might never happen and the majority of the arket does not as well, as games sell most of their lifetime in the first months, over half in the first weeks.

I cant say anythin about payed online, I always hated that and mainly disliike xbox cuz they started that trend. But there are pros now, I get 4 free games every month and a few f them have been AAA. But I rather have a steddy $50 a year, then having to one day have to upgrade anything on a pc that could cost hundreds then soon have to  upgrde soething else.

diablo released over  year ahead on pc. minecraft years before and was free on pc, o rpirated I dont know also $20 on consoles. half life never releassed in consoles. I have no idea about payday 2.

I f you have keept reading the thread, that power argument was already debunked. We might get ps3 level graphics but for $1000 less, I am happy to have it. Plus others have stated how sony plans to cut around some isssud like reprojectin to get that 2x framerate, and better pixles with sub rgb to not need 4k screans, and having a single screen. 

Mods alter games they dont create, devs create games and sonny have a lot of studios full of them who have pumped out some of the best games in history.
