An interesting idea has been present on the minds of gamers in the last years. The concept of going third party is a taboo subject, a lot of people are against it but there are some people like me that see the benefits of going third party.

If Sony goes third party all gamers win. Don't belive me? Let's think.

Sony going third party means more money to spend on videogames.

Having all the Sony games on one platform (PC) means we can stop wasting money on outdated hardware. Money that could be spent on more games. Having Sony games enter the steam ecosystem means we could have Uncharted/Horizon/etc. at insane prices. Gamers win in the end.

PS4 hardware is inferior if we compare it to a PC.

Eliminate the need to buy a PS4 and now you have more money for games and for hardware upgrades on your PC. You could play Sony's first party games on real 4K and 60fps.

Sony's first parties would be able to realize their full potential.

Not being tied to the limitations of the PS4, Naughty Dog could make their games even better than they look today.

Sony's first parties would have increased market reach.

PC gamers can be counted on the millions, add to those the people that are buying PS4's and Sony would be sitting on a pile of cash in no time.

PC gamers will have access to videogames they could never play. And vice versa.

PC gamers could finally enjoy the first party offerings from Sony, and Sony gamers would enjoy the PC offerings. A win-win situation.

So what is your opinion?

Disagree.

 

1. Not everyone is a PC gamer so how do I save money from this?

 

2. This is something for PC enthusiasts only. Most gaming PCs aren't as capable as a PS4, which is why the most played PC games are made to run on low specs. I suppose it is a valid positive if you're still gaming on desktops.

 

3. Only if full potential means buggy, less optimised games. Because that's what would occur if they have to develop for multiple platforms. And the "limitations" that you're talking about is just visual?

 

4. Possibly - if they can sell their games to the Chinese market because that's where most of the pic gamers who don't own a PS4 reside in. Will China embrace a game like The Last of Us or Gran Turismo?

 

5. This point is just a repeat. Doesn't benefit me at all.

1. You buiy a PC like you would buy a PS4. IMO Sony should go third party but still make consoles so that the gamer has more options.

2. Really overall good for the average PC gamer because they wont have to pay $250 for a new console Also a recent Steam survey show that most Steam users have PCs with better specs than the PS4. http://store.steampowered.com/hwsurvey

3. Third parties having been making games for multiple platforms and lots of these games are well made and not buggy.

4. PS4 games have been doing well in othe rparts of Aisa recently so if they are on PC they will do a lot better.

5. Of they put games on PC and you bought a PC you would have access ot lots of games that cant be playe don PS4.
