Then fuck consoles and everyone to the PC to play Full HD or even 4k and buy cheaper games in Steam Offers. Hardware doesn't matter, if not consoles would be dead long time ago


Whya re peopel buying ps4's then? Why not just play games on PS3?? The entire industry is driven by hardware saying it doesn;t matter is simply fantasy. Most of software sales were games that are on last gen...............


Because we won't have Infamous SS on ps3, won't have the order on ps3... I can list a lot of games here.. wanna play this game?....

 

Those are not out yet, and most sales are for games on ps3.... because hardware matters.


?????? What the fuck are you saying??? Of course they are not out yet, and they will be the hardware pushers for ps4. What this has to do with your '' hardware matters conclusion''?. Wow can you even read what I said? stop being so blind

why do you buy a console if hardware matters?


What PC can play halo, Uncharted, God of war, Destiny, MLB the show, Infamous, Drive club, Gran turismo, tales of xillia. and on and on.........

What do games have anything to do with the thread? Someone earlier in the thread said the would enjoy their Wii U anyways, presumably for the games. The OP essentially called him delusional for enjoying games that don't have power and 1080p behind them. The OP has made the thread strictly that only hardware power matters, nothing else. Why play Uncharted when you can play a modded crysis to run on 4k in a pc?

 

Way to twist my words to suit your arguement. When did I ever state that only hardware matters? I specifically said that games would be better if Nintendo devs had better hardware to work with. Look at WWHD. The guy who made it said he was happy to work with better hardware so that he can load the entire sea at once instead of slowing the boat down so you don't fall off the map.

Thats the Nintendo mentality... sigh.

 

You've been cultured.

EDIT: I often hear arguements like "it's not the hardware it's what you do with it" which is so fucking stupid and backwards and only said to damage control for Nintendo when the only reason Nintendo makes underpowered systems is to generate more profit 


Then you conviently left out the part where I said it limits devs creativity lol

Why did PS2 being a lot less powerful than Gamecube/Xbox sell a lot more consoles? Or Wii being a lot less powerful than X360 and PS3? Innovation and specially gams are what matters.

Peope Get's PS4 because they know soon games are going to stop coming out for PS3/X360 and PS4/Xone are going to have exclusive games. Games are what matters

Can you read my posts?

I would say a large majority of people bought a PS4 for upcoming games they like and the fact that games that are on the PS3 are also on the PS4, but neither of us know that.

This guy... I said the same thing to him, about the exclusives games on PS4 answering the idea of software>hardware... he misses the point everytime. So much lack of ability of interpretation ...

Oops i thought i copy and pasted the entire comment, my mistake. And limits creativity lol? Have you played 3D world? Probably not seeing your previous comments. Creativity has nothing to do with power lol, play FF13 and compare it to FF6 or FF7 and tell me if you honestly think that still.

Software is and always has been the driving force being sales.     You need to brush up on some video game history if you think so.   The PS2's graphics sucked compared to the Gamecube and Xbox, but since it had GTA,Kingdom Hearts, FInal Fantasy, Gran Turismo and Metal Gear Solid is outsold the other two easily, add on the DVD player factor and it destroyed them.     Go look at every single console ever and it's always been the games that have been the deciding factor, not the console specs.   Here's another great example.    PSP vs. Vita.    PSP even with the Nintendo DS on the market was able to sell 80+ million consoles (53 percent of the DS).   Why?  Because Grand Theft Auto and Monster Hunter were huge hits.    The Vita added much more graphic power but doesnt have any software that people care about and it has only sold 7.3 million (17 percent of 3DS).   The only territory it's doing alright in is Japan, and once again it's because there is alot of japanese aimed software to push the console.    Launches are built on hyping the console itself because there ussually isn't much software, but after the initial burst is gone, it's all about the games.  Same goes if your initial burst sucks.  PS3 and 3DS looked to be dead in the water but once the software came sales took off.



Of course. If hardware didn't matter we wouldn't get heated debates over this. Developers have shown their distaste at Wii U's performance from their initial testings (DICE, Bethesda, Epic Games, 4A Games etc). The disparity between different systems can greatly affect whether a game is going to be considered for release on a platform. It isn't only to do with power though. There are many other factors like; SDK's, ease of development, tools, online infrastructure, architectures and so on.

Also, if hardware didn't matter why did millions of gamers go out and buy the very same games that are on the PS3/360 on the PS4/s and Xbox One's? UK hardware sales were in a slump and software down on all counts prior to the launch of the next gen consoles. And how there's a massive growth with new kit/s. Why is that? If there isn't anything distinguishing the last generation of hardware why would anyone bother with new consoles?

You make it sound as if it's just graphics lol Look at games like knack and resogun. They may look simple but current gen consoles can't run them. Too many objects moving in real time. What are you going to tell me now? That knack and resogun aren't creative and original ideas?



of course it matters, some drive a miata others a vett.... one is much faster.

some games work on crap hardware some dont, i want the best biggest and ima  graphics whore and will always be.
