now you're just being ridiculous though and through. in what way am I supposed to feel humiliated exactly?

1- on BF4, using your numbers, PC has the 2nd highest amount of active users ate the time of the screenshot

2- using sales numbers? really? when was the last time you've bought a pc game on retail? Is steam, gog, humble store, etc giving out sales numbers now? no one will take you seriously with that one lol

3- What about all the other games I mentioned on my earlier post, most of which are either PC exclusive or simply have much larger communities on PC? And that was on the FPS genre only, don't get me started on RTS, MMORPGS and battle arena games (LoL, Dota, etc)

 

seriously, just stop it, you're neither arguing my original point nor convincingly arguing the strawman you have created.

on a final note, I'm no pc elitist. I simply play each game where they play the best or have the best community/support. Friday I'll be all up in BF1 on PC of course. In the meantime I've been chipping away at the LoH: Trails of Cold steel platinum on my Vita. Just got a PSVR last week and next month I'm taking a few days off of work to play FFXV (not to mention desperately waiting for the 1st DS3 dlc to play with one of my friends on PS4).

so yeah... that's just me

We were talking about shooters and now you are bringing games like Dota? hahaha man desperation much? We all know LEague of Legends per example is bigger than Steam altogether and Psn and whatever, that is not the point here, we were discussing shooters and wich clearly Consoles dominate Pc across a huge list of games including Battlefield, Doom, Halo, Call of Duty and so on. 

RTS and MMos is another discussion, i don´t think people on Consoles play games like these in the first place but if you are going by this path, then Sports games, fighters etc.. oh yeah more played on pc right? Lmao

See? Different platforms, different games wich rule each one, when talking about shooters, Consoles dominate pc marketplace in raw numbers across most games with OW or Cs being the exception and not the rule, sure some shooters are only available on Pc and not consoles but those i´m not counting since it´s not fair, games like Arma. 

moving the goalposts much? the point was about FPS, not 'shooters' That's why I was dumbfounded why you brought Gears of War into the mix. What I have said is that there are more FPS games on PC, which in a way dilutes the userbase. I don't think that's even disputable, that's why you mentioned counting Arma as 'not fair'.

but for the final time, my main point was not a numbers game, it was a question about quality. PCs are the correct platform for FPS and RTS games. Not just from a performance and visual perspective, but most importantly because of mouse & keyboard support. There's a reason why consoles don't allow players using mouse/keyboard combo on their multiplayer fps games. and since you said you've played CS I assume you know the reson why.

in the end of the day of anyone wants to play bf1 on a console it's their money and their choice, I hope they will have fun. but the best experience is without a question on PC. I can't imagine playing a sniper with a controller in hand. It would be like eating cereals with chopsticks for me.
