No no no, what I mean is the fact of buying a piece of software, Say if you were to buy a copy of Super Street Fighter on the 3ds, you're getting a version of the game running at 240p but on launch it cost €50 The same game on the Xbox 360 runs at 720p and cost the same amount at the time it launched, so if you are limited to only having a 3DS you are paying €50 for software which is running at a fraction of the resolution as well as missing out on other features like dlc characters and costumes down the line. Then you look at the PS4/PC version of the same game from Steam, you pay roughly the same amount for the software regardless of which platform you choose but you are going from 240p on 3DS, 720p on X360 or 1080p on the PS4, then with the PC you pay the same entry fee for the software but are limited only by your imagination with what sort of power you want to put into the game to get the highest resolution available to the software.
I obviously know that a Gaming PC which outshines the PS4 and Pro would be quite expensive, but I'm just suggesting that if you were to be spending a ton of cash on game software, would it not make more sense to be spending that on the platform where the games are performing at their best (within reason of budget)
Just think of it like this, MGS5 came out on both the PS3 and PS4 side by side, both games cost roughly the same price on launch.... which of those games do you think ran better and looked nicer, but the software for both machines costs the same (or almost the same) so if you have a PS3 and PS4 it would be silly to go into a shop and pay the same amount for the PS3 version of said game.

Good point. Obviously there are many other factors that go into considering what platform to buy a game for. Yet what you prove here is that for the majority of people the content matters more than the looks, faith in humanity restored! People are even willing to pay more for a digital purchase or rental of a movie at much lower quality and no extras than it would cost to get the blu-ray. Silly creatures :)
I've also played games through remote play on my laptop while having plenty games in my Steam library. As my laptop doesn't get all hot and noisy while streaming and lasts longer!

Yeah sometimes it's a shame having to make that choice, like Digimon Cyber Sleuth as much as it was the same price on the PS4 and Vita I still figured that I would play the native Vita version more often... even though if I had bought the PS4 version I could have remote played it to the handheld.
Still though at 300 hours sank into the Vita version to fill up the "Pokedex" I got my value worth from it, but yeah it was a thought if there was anything extra in the PS4 version and apparently it was effectively just the Vita game ported directly so I spend my money to have it on the handheld and to Support Vita getting Western games for possible sequels... which failed since the next Digimon game is only coming to the west on the PS4, sad times.
Another point I'll often consider too is storage size, a big Jrpg might have issues on the Vita since storage for that machine costs so much so I'll consider buying it on the PS4 to remote play it since I don't have to worry about taking up space which I currently have assigned to GBA roms and Mame games heh.
