If somebody cared enough about graphics to want to get a Scorpio over a PS4, then why not just get a PC? I don't see anybody that follows the industry getting a Scorpio. MS just doesn't do exclusives anymore.

The Switch won't soak up Japanese support any more than the N64, and Gamecube soaked up Japanese support. If anything we are going to see a new breed of games that is Switch/PS4 exclusive. PSNow isn't going to have high rated PS4 exclusives. That would be a suicidal move on Sony's part.

And to be fair, PS4 really does have more quality games than PC at this point.

I don't really understand the logic of this sentence and the following list of games, you're comparing a console released in 2013 with a platform that has games going back decades. Are you suggesting that people chose to buy a PS4 or PC solely on high budget exculsives?

I'm suggesting that the PS4 is better because it has more quality exclusives. Comparing the PC's decades long back catalog to a console that launched in 2013 isn't a fair comparison at all. A better comparison would be to line up exclusives year by year. What games did PS3 get in 2007-2013? What games did PC get in those same years? Were any of those games well recieved by critics? I think, when you answer these questions with an open mind you find that the PS3 beat the PC in it's heyday. Same goes for the PS2 vs PC games from 2001-2006, and PS1 vs PC games from 1995-2000.

The thread asks if PC is a safer choice due to the volatility of the console market. Of course it's a loaded question to begin with. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loaded_question The console market isn't volatile and hasn't been for 30 years. Sony has been pumping out quality content at a steady rate for the last 20+ years. My statement and list was an attempt to show that Sony is just as strong and safe a bet as ever.
