Oh, thats your question.  Well of course there is.  But you originally responded to my comment about me saying that Naughty Dog has an advantage on a closed system.   You just wanted me to say that there are advantages on PC.  You just wanted me to say that PC was awesome.  Well it is.  I thought you were trying to argue that consoles weren't more efficient than PCs.  I admit I am a blockhead sometimes.  You got me.  Of course PC has advantages.   And many advantages over closed platforms.  They include, but are not limited to: Lack of platforming fees, more accessable for developers period,   many many more tools and midwares, and its just better for independent developers.  Most of the programming I have EVER done has been on PC.  I wouldn't even have a job if it wasn't for the open PC platform. 

My point is that after looking at the level of opotizations they had to do on the PS4, its hard imagining they doing the same to PC with its varied models and lack of intimate knowledge on the every end users experience and setup. Thats the ACTUAL POINT OF CONSOLES.  Its steamlines development. 

This is why I was so excited for Vulkan.  Imagine if developers didn't need to have intimate knowledgee to extract the most out of PC/mobiles/etc.    What if they had a API tht could handle it for them.   What wold happen is that the advantages that consoles have would start to evaporate. 

I didn't need you to praise it to the heavens and claim it was awesome, I was just asking for acknowledgement which seems to get passed on easily around here, only when it's brought up in moments like this do we get a throw up of hands and "I guess" when it's addressed, why is it so hard to acknowledge the advantages?.

I don't think with the advent of Vulkan that the advantages consoles have will evaporate, being closed is something that they are and works for them, unless of course you're sporting DX 12 and then you're the one who gets singled out.

I get what you mean though.
