2016 - Phil Spencer says not every Xbox game will come to PC.

2020 - Every Xbox game is on PC.

2020 - Sony says not every SIE game will come to PC.

2024 - Every SIE game is on PC.

Playstation is nothing like Xbox though.

Xbox crashed its hardware sales and nearly all its IPs have declined heavily.

Meanwhile, PS is going to end with 120-130 million, making more money than PS1/2 days, revenue larger than nearly every gaming company, 5+ IPs selling 10 million+ etc.

Your notion of importance is completely subjective. A french enthusiast will find jeuxvideo more important than gamespot. It's also completely irrelevant as GOTYpicks is an aggregate of all awards.

If a game was only critically acclaimed in one area or fan segment it would not be able to get the most awards. UC4 got 63 more awards than OW. Sorry if reality differs from your I misread, seems the estimate only includes sales.

PS revenue FY 2017 - $17.53 billion

Steam revenue estimate FY 2017 - $4.3 billion

There is little Valve can have to make up for another $13 billion though. 

Okay but PS1/2 had far more exclusives and a lot bigger exclusives from third parties. 

No where did i say UC4 didnt win more awards. What i am telling you is majority of the popular opinion of GOTY awards went to Overwatch. I could care less if some unknown french reporter decides to give UC4 GOTY however i would pay more attention to outlets like IGN, Gamespot, Polygon and even the Game Awards as there opinion holds up stronger than some Joebob1380 GOTY winner. 

Take that as you wish. I could care less about GOTY Awards however lets not act like the main outlets mean little compared to the smaller ones.

Also if Steam charged their customers $60 a year to play there games online than that gap reduces immensely.

You don't get to declare whats popular. Numbers declare whats popular. The numbers show UC4 was a lot more popular as GOTY so you're once again wrong.

Oh and you are also showing how US centric you are. Gaming is a worldwide industry. US =/ the World

You basically proved my point.
