I mean if i remember right didnt MS when they first started porting games on to PC say it would be games thats fit for the PC and then that changed to every first party game we make will be launching day and date on PC?, or am i remembering it wrong?. Sonys approach seems very much like MS at first so i see no reason for why they wont go day and date too with the rising price of game development for studios like Sony it would be silly to think they can just keep porting older games like some Sony fans seem to think. I mean even the head of Sony pretty much said they will be looking to port their games faster to PC, they brought i think 2 porting studios? but yet some Sony fans cant see the writing on the wall but i guess they will just keep denying it till it starts happening. |
I mean it started off slow at first, this is MS we're talking about, their 2nd to 3rd attempt at getting back with PC meant we had to suffer slow ramp-ups of releases from them (that and they probably felt they were scared of what would happen to their consoles sales at those times).
Reason why I know it's going to eventually happen with Sony is because it just doesn't make any logical business sense to go with a new venture model for themselves, and then never improve upon it over time. It'd make more sense to tap into a market you've been actively ignoring for years, earn money and find ways to earn more of that money a lot earlier, what's one way of doing that?; day and date, you get the sales from both platforms at the same time, instead of 1-2m and slow trickle sales later on (the current model).
The only people that hate this are the die-hards, because they think they know business and another factor is the major loss of bragging rights, which let's be honest, there weren't much of any, because unlike a graphics card brute forcing (objective), a game is going to look subjective no matter how hard you try to sell it.
Mankind, in its arrogance and self-delusion, must believe they are the mirrors to God in both their image and their power. If something shatters that mirror, then it must be totally destroyed.
