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.

Ok. get what you are saying now. and thats a really good point.

Yeah just wanted to clear it up because I definitely do not think you can get a PC that would outperform the Pro for that same price, so didn't want that "misinformation" as you said from me posted on here.
All this said though... I still have went off and bought Street Fighter 4 for the 3ds and love the heck out of it for a version of that game on a portable system... even at 240p with static backgrounds, Still for me is the best fighting game since Smash Melee on the GC, I think I actually have 3 copies of SSF4 for the 3DS because of getting it for tournie play here, fucking hate some practices from capcom but that hate isn't strong enough to stop me buying that game repeatedly.
But yeah I will on occasion make the "worse choice" in terms of which version I'm buying if there is a feature like portability to be taken into account too, but when it's on similar platforms ps3/4 I have never found myself buying a previous gen version of a new title while having the option of getting the more feature filled "next gen" version.
