gears of war is an fps now? interesting...
probably there are more people now playing counter strike 1.6 / source / go than in all of those games combined, not to mention than pretty much all of those games are on pc with arguably bigger communities (overwatch) you could add a shit ton of other fps games like Arma, Insurgency, Dayz, H1Z1, Left 4 Dead, Team Fortress, Heroes & Generals, Op Flashpoint, Dirty Bomb, Doom, S.K.I.L.L, Verdun, Planetside, Killing Floor, Payday, Quake,.... that's just from the top of my head. But anyway, the point was never a popularity contest, you mentioned how terribly BF1 is performing on the xb1, the fact is I already played the alpha and beta on my PC and it not only looks, but more importantly, plays incredibly. So yeah, that's the right way to go on it (not to mention using mouse/kb as the gaming gods intended for fps games) |
The truth is that if the same game sells on console and on pc, it will pretty much always have a much larger player base on console, including Overwatch. I've have understood why Blizzard has focused so hard on Overwatch on PC when they have a much larger audience on console based on sales.
