Think about the alternative. We get two powerful consoles that can last 6-8 years in a good shape, the architecture is totally different from PC and each other, so making ports is pure hell. What is the result? More good exclusives? NO! The results are:
- the consoles cost $600-800 and are still sold at a loss. Nobody is buying them anyway, the adoption rate makes Vita and Wii U look awesome, Sony is on the verge of going bust;
- the devs know that the games have a very limited market, so their budget is much lower than it would be if the game was multiplat or was very easy and cheap to port;
- as a result we get worse games, especially from the graphical point of view, cause the devs just can't afford to max the consoles, since they would need seperate teams to max different platforms and we already said that the budget it much smaller - the exception would be just a few 1st party games, but the overall level would be lower;
- obviously, one platform is chosen as the primary one and gamers on the other one always get a crappy port instead of a game of the same quality, since it's so hard to port;
- more and more games never get released on PC, since porting is hard and expensive and due to piracy the risk is too big;
Remember, X360 is close to PC and what is the result? Multiplats play better on it than on a more powerful PS3! That's the only result of PS3 having its freaky architecture. PS4 = X720 = PC is only going to be good for us, cause it will be easier for the devs to sell their games, so it will be easier to profit, hence they will be able to spend more on games and make them better. Moreover, the consoles will be cheaper, cause there will be no freaking Cell that cost an arm and a leg to be developed. The number of exclusives will remain the same - only 1st and 2nd party studios, as it should be. I really have no problem with people on other consoles playing the same game I'm playing, if anything I'm angry that my PS3 plays them worse than X360. I'd even like PS4 and X720 players to be able to play in multi together, though I know it's impossible.
To sum up - there sure is a reason to cry, b!tch and moan about. The alternative would be so awesome! Everyone would be much happier! Right?
