Forums - Gaming - Imagine a world where console and PC games were all on one platform

I wouldn't mind it, there are barely any 1st party games I care about, and it's not like developers from 1st party studios wouldn't just be someplace else.

I do imagine that world. Every single day. Except, I live in it. It's called PS3, Xbox and Wii emulation on my PC

@ OP

It's good for things to be separate. It creates competition and that is always a good thing. It keeps costs down.


You can't emulate ps3 right now and we won't be able to do that for a loooong time......The way a ps3 cpu operates is competlely different from the way a PC one does.  It's not going to happen this gen and to be honest it wouldn't surprise me if it doesn't even happen next gen.

It will happen sooner than you think. The PS3 is NOT that powerful and the i7 is miles ahead of Sony's PS3 cell chip.

It's just a matter of when someone will get motivated enough to write an emulator, not whether PCs will have the brute power to run the emulation software. That shouldn't be far away at all and I'm not sure that high-end computers aren't there already. A lot can be done with a 3 gig i7 chip, 8 gigs of RAM, and a pair of 1GB video cards.

I don't think you will see it anytime soon, as I said in an earliuer post, MS can't even emulate the origional Xbox very well, what makes you think that anybody could do so with a PS3? It's not a hardware issue, obviously you realize this given your post.
