| Barkley said: Why would you want to be forced to buy more hardware to play games on rather than play them on hardware you already have. The ideal scenario for consumers is all games on every system. Choose the one you want, get everything. No need to shell out money on hardware you don't need. |
but is it? games developed for one specific console regularly end up being the best on the market and I don't think that's all down to first party developers being "more talented"
these games being made as "system sellers" means there is a lot of extra budget and care poured into them, which wouldn't be needed in your scenario
ofcourse developing for countless of different configurations also means a lot of development overhead/development restrictions to ensure compatibility (or the game just not working well on several systems)
