GeForce 800 and 900 are releasing this year, and with every new GPU generation the prices of the previous (regardless of their abilities) decrease. Right now one can buy a PS4 equivalent (GeForce GTX 660) for $180 USD, with the new generation releasing its cost will likely go down at least $50. So no, it isn't false information. Ram decreases in price almost on an annual clock. So that will go down by february as well. Steam deals and bundles match any benefit PS Plus brings. PS Plus might have it beat in quantity, but when I can buy a great game that is 6 months old for $40 on steam and it is $60 on consoles, I don't mind that I miss out on downloadable PS releases. When within a year of an Elders Scrolls game release I can have a steam deal with DLC and buy the game for $20 I don't care too much about the free PS Plus games. Steam > PS Plus. Destiny - Point, not sure if I'm getting it though. It will likely come to PC eventually anyway. MGS V - point, but I never was a fan of the series personally, so not a big deal for me personally. KH3 - Won't release for years. FFXV - Won't release for years (and announced in 2005, I bought a PS3 for this damn game, when I was in 8th grade, now I'm a junior in college. I'm over it and Square-Enix.) Meanwhile PC plays the overwhelming majority of multiplatform games better than the PS4 and XboxOne, and will continue to get unique exclusives as those consoles lag behind and PC gaming continues to grow. |
While I agree that PCS do run the games better it is nowhere near a majority of games. There are more games NOT coming to PC than there are coming(personal preference aside of course). And I feel that PC gaming while growing is still NOWHERE near the levels of console gaming and will more than likely never be.
Also PC gamers are a minority while console gamers are a majority so the core focus will always go to console gamers as well. Steam/Ps Plus/XB Live are very different in what they offer and who they offer it too. And while Steam may offer more the audience that it is offered to is to small to compare to the audience that Ps Plus/XB Live is offered too.
So for all the benefits it has compared to console gaming and the console gaming market it is almost irrelevant when looking at then side by side. Not saying that it is at all but compared to consoles and console gamers the PC market is very small.
The absence of evidence is NOT the evidence of absence...
