Microsoft already puts many of their first party games on PC after a few years when they stop selling anyways.  Would it be smart if sony/Nintendo did the same?  Can you imagine games like Heavy rain, god of war, and zelda on steam.  They would sell a crazy amount.  I think it would be a smart decision myself but that is just me.


But the PC does NOT do true Panarama view nor 3D Augmented Reality nor Motion Gaming nor NFC nor true single player asymetrical gaming nor rumble nor touch (outside of some Windows 8 Computers) nor glasses-free 3D (outside of some Toshiba Labtops) nor Geomagnitic Sensor for motion gaming, because it doesn't even do motion gaming nor StreetPass nor have any circle pad (greatest for FPS gaming after WiiMote).

Theres probably some other stuff I left out, but Nintendo has become way too interactive to drag its gaming experience to the PC, and you can already play GameCube & earlier games on the PC.

 

Nintendo games from the 7th Gen & up should never be experience thru a PC. The whole point of video games is an interactive experience.

And the mouse & keyboard have been beaten by circle pad & Motion Controls for FPS gaming. (which the Wii & 3DS & Wii U have for motion gaming, like in Star Fox)

Sony might consider doing it because right now then need to be looking at every option to get there company turned around. As for Nintendo, if they did that it would crater their market share because a lot of people buy a console from them to play their games, so if can get the games some where else....

Offering their games on multiple platforms wouldn't help "turn the company around". Beyond that, the PlayStation Division isn't hurting them right now.


no but it wouldnt hurt them either and it doesnt matter if they arent hurting them or not.  profits are profits no matter where it comes from

There's no way to know if they'd profit from going PC and it's pointless to discuss since it isn't even a consideration. Besides, they can profit just fine with the PlayStation. Game sales have done wonders, for those who understand the rates.

Dont take it so seriosly, just a hypothetical question. Ill start asking your permission on the what we can discuss though.  personally i see no reason for Crash bandicoot and spyro, games like that not to come to PC but hey thet is just me.

Wha...? I'm not taking anything seriously, I'm simply debating the topic with you (despite the fact that it is hypothetical and unlikely to ever become a reality).

This is just lol worthy. Really dude when it comes to FPS games nothing will beat KB+Mouse.

As for the rest of your statements. Pretty much any game thats on the 3DS or the WiiU could be made work with PC if they really wanted to.

Not saying they would. But if they did the is nothing to stop them. Rumble gaming? pretty much every PC game has that already hahahaha you just need a joypad with rumble. PC has a device for everything else you mentioned too.


Thanks.

But the WiiMote + nun chuck is still another good way since KB+Mouse, right?

I just personally don't like the keyboard aspect for gaming for me personally. I guess I like more game console style controls despite so.

And it's nice to know about the everything else, but the everything else seems like it might be to many accessories, or am I wrong?

And I personally find Circle Pad 3 times better then Joysticks, but everyone else says its 5 times better then Joysticks, LOL.

Doesnt matter.  It sold well and they decided to put it on PC.


You should have stopped when i told you to.

You said games that no longer sell, Gears was actually selling since it was ported on the PC only a year after its 360 release . You said in order to make a profit, Gears sold kinda bad on the PC.

And above all why is gears a bad example ? CAUSE THERE WAS NO GEARS 2 ON THE PC

 

I think MS ports Xbox games to convince people to buy Xbox consoles. They are hoping that a Vista port of Halo 2 or the PC Gears of War will get PC gamers interested in those series and convince them to buy an Xbox to play the rest.
