Sony going third party is an excellent idea for gamers.

1. You're proposing that basically all games should just be on PC, which, IMO, is bullshit. Yes, PC hardware is "more powerful" (depending on what you have), but it's also ever changing, and constantly upgrading. And before the Steam era, "PC Gaming" meant something totally different than it does now. PC Gaming use to be, for the most part, a certain type of games, and games you could ONLY play on PC. Because they were MADE for PC. Nowadays, "PC Gaming" basically just means people too lazy/cheap to buy any consoles, and want to play all their games on the thing they already browse the internet with.

2. Personally, I like game consoles. I think it's a GOOD thing that you have a set parameter of hardware specs and capabilities, that everyone has to work within. And beyond that nonsense, I like being able to sit on my couch or lay in my bed, and relax playing a game. Or take my game on the go. I know tablets or laptops can get the same basic effect. But it's just not the same.

It is in part, yes, due to the fact that I grew up with gaming consoles, that I am partial to them. But also, even now, I have a decent PC, I HAVE Steam. I even have a ton of roms lying around. But in general, I rarely ever feel like gaming on my PC, personally. If I want to play a video game, the vast majority of the time, I feel like playing ____ game console. And I think a lot of other gamers feel that way as well, otherwise game consoles wouldn't still be popular and selling.





So just because some PC gamers don't want to "have to" buy any game consoles, and live in their dream utopia where all games, even Nintendo games, just came to PC? Sorry, but too bad. I think consoles existing is a good thing. And I prefer to see them stick around. I don't like the DIRECTION the industry is heading in, with mid-gen "upgrades" and other bullshit like that. But I do want to see them stick around.
