There it is. Glad more people get to play it, just beat the main story for it like a week ago and it's an amazing experience.

Also, I don't understand why some people keep trying to say how "this lessens reasons for owning the console and will make them sell less". Correct me if i'm wrong, but haven't there been things in the past that show that most people who buy consoles usually just buy them to play multiplats? Exclusives sell really well to the hardcore who actively pay attention to this stuff, but for majority of people the main reason for buying a console is still ease of use; ie being able to just buy something and just play things on it without having to worry about anything else or they'll go wherever their friends are. These games being moved to PC isn't going to change anything for them in that case.

At most you could argue that maybe some of the "hardcore" might not have as much of a reason to buy the console anymore, but again that number of people probably isn't as significant as you think, or at the very least Microsoft or Sony don't think it is hence why they're willing to test these things out. (Or in Microsoft's case go all in with PC)

In my case, I like gaming and I like most Sony games: therefore I get a PS.

If all PS games are available on PC, I'll still get a PS. I want the plug and play thing. A black box that I connect to the TV and works.

If Sony stops selling consoles and their games go to PC only. I'm screwed until I find some sort of black box that has a PC inside that I can connect to the TV without having to worry about anything else.

There are small black boxes that people buy just to get access to Netflix (even thought Netflix runs on browsers). Why black boxes that run games (aka consoles) will have to die just because everything in the world runs on PCs?
