If your going to pool all PC's into one category, and all mobile into another, then PS4, XB1, and Switch, etc, would all fall under consoles. To divide one category and separate others makes no sense. If you want to split them all into each of their respective niches, then the list needs to be much more in depth, which would ruin the point trying to be made.

I am not pooling PC or mobile into any category because of how the cross-platform market joke was defined when this quote began. Let me type it out so it is easy to understand.

Mobile + PC + NS + XB1 > Mobile + PC + PS4

You can cancel out Mobile and PC, since they are equal on both sides of the equation. Either way it was you who (jokingly?) wanted to add PSVR into the equation, so I jokingly said Switch can do that too and without an add-on.

OK, that ends the summary. Maybe the division should be on companies rather than platforms; since Sony does not want to cross-platform with Microsoft or Nintendo, but they don't care about Apple, Google, Valve, etc. Is there even cross-platform with the Windows Store games?

So to simplify, your saying your answer to my question about whether PSVR counts as another hardware platform to play Fortnite, is no? I would probably have to agree in this specific instance since Fortnite isn't in first person when your playing VR, so you don't get a completely different experience from what you would see on the TV. Games that are in first person I would personally say make PSVR count, but that's just me.

Switch can do something different, but that's built into it's design and cost and is part of the reason for buying it. Switch can't do what PSVR does, and PSVR can't do Switch. PSVR is a completely separate item, and rightfully so based on it's cost, and has it's own reasons for purchasing it. I have a hard time specifying PSVR as just an add on, mostly based on it's price, considering it basically costs the same as the PS4 itself. If you only care about VR, is the PSVR the add on, or is the PS4?

Comparing companies doesn't really work either. What about streaming PS4 games to your Vita? That changes the PS4 stationary experience to a semi handheld/mobile one at the very least, so both those devices should count I would think. In the future if we see PS or MS try and incorporate their ecosystems even more so with streaming boxes, dedicated hardware, handheld, and mobile, then you would have to base it on the hardware, as long as the content works across multiple devices.
