And this will be true also.

 

 


More then a year after it launches on the X1 and I doubt it would be on CD ROM's since it going to be close to 50GB it would take close to 100 of those.

Still glad I got it on the X1 instead love the achievements and challenges they attached to it. I will look better on the PC but only if have a top notch rig and it will not have any achievements or challenges attached to it.

^You keep denying it, it won't make it false.

He's right you are comparing 2 different things. PS Now is about games past that will not sell anymore, Dead Rising is a new game that was one of the reasons to purchase the X1.

What i am trying to explain is that both are the same thing because those exclusive games are being brought to other devices. Xbox exclusives are coming to pc and ps exclusives are coming to other devices via ps now. Of course those games are older but its the exact same thing going on here.

Yes, streaming a game is the same as getting a superior version on the other platform....

You fail to see the whole picture. 

Where will you be able to stream these games from ps now? A ps console only? or some other kind of device? 

DR3 is coming to pc. Last of us is coming to ps now and if you can stream that game from a non ps device then it is clearly the same thing just done differently. Isn't ps now coming to tv's?

Sorry, but, you are saying that streaming a game of the same version is the same as getting the superior digital of disc version of a game? LOL.

^^^See it the way you want as there is no point of discussing this with you.

That's a naive way at looking at the industry. In reality, overlap is in the majority, and PC gamers who already have machines that outspec this generation, which is not a small niche at all, typically buy consoles solely because of exclusives. If something is on PC, let alone steam, then that is one less reason to buy to console. That is why it hurts sales, it might not be directly measurable, but we know it will have an effect.

The greater issue is that this doesn't become a regular thing, which is why the QB rumor is troubling.

That is probably the biggest risk, if Xbox exclusives get the stigma of only being timed exclusives, ofc its gonna have to happen a lot more times for that to happen.  

Yeah, so many Xbox-exclusives which were only time-exclusives in the long run:

  • Halo 1
  • Knights of the Old Republic
  • Fable 1
  • Sudeki
  • Halo 2
  • Jade Empire
  • Ninja Gaiden
  • Condemned: Criminal Origins
  • Saints Row series
  • Dead Rising seies
  • Gears of War 1
  • Lost Planet: Extreme Condition
  • Mass Effect 1
  • Alan Wake
  • Braid
  • State of Decay

Not to forget those "console-exclusive" titles, where exclusivity meant "not on PlayStation / Wii":

  • Prey
  • Frontlines: Fuel of War
  • Left 4 Dead 1 & 2
  • Splinter Cell: Conviction
  • Fable 3
  • The Witcher 2

If you have a good PC and some patience, you don't really need and Xbox-console (except the Forza series, most Gears-of-War games and the newer Halo-titles).

Ps4 games will eventually make it over to ps now at some point in time. It might not be within a year or 3 but they will just like ps3 games are. It increases the chances of making more money from games that didn't sell well. It is a smart way of doing it but in the end it is a similar thing as bringing xbox games to pc. You dont need a ps console to play games on ps now and that is the bottom line. 

PS Now uses PS3s to stream the games, PS3 cannot play PS4 games, when the PS5 comes out PS4 games will start appearing on PS Now ideally. PS now allows the PS4 to have backwards compatibility, PS4 games cannot be played on PS Now QED.

PlayStation wants to sell hw, PS Now is intended to add value to the console, not take it away.It provides sw accesibility to consoles they either don't manufacturer any more or beginning to phase out. The sw sales they weren't getting because the PS4 and PS3 are backwards compatibile, they will now get, but PS Now will not hamper PS4 sales directly.

Xbox One exclusives on PC does.

Its that simple.

Steam has an achievement system, too. Probably the Steam achievements and challenges of DR3 PC will be identical to DR3 XBO.
