That's what I have been saying, Sony and MS need the PC sales to be able to keep funding their big budget games.
Exact same thing for PC developers... So without consoles, lower budgets for PC games as well. (or higher prices)

And now all need mobile as well to keep their revenues up, hence more and more mobile spin offs.

And no, that last statement makes no sense.

Thats the thing PC has never needed consoles. The devs that did need console and pc made them games weaker on PC and consoles compared to how they where when they where just on PC. So like i said PC never needed consoles but clearly console makers now need PC money no two ways around it.

Exact same situation on console... Consoles never needed PC, and still don't. But extra sales, means bigger budgets continue to be possible.

PC has needed console money for the same reason, bigger budgets to make bigger games. Do you really believe GTA would have the same size world if it was a PC only game? The Witcher 3 is not cherry picking an exception. There's a reason why the biggest games are multi platform or first party. Is the Witcher 3 weaker than the Witcher 2? (I haven't played the 3rd one on PC, the 2nd did have plenty issues, massive slowdown in places)
