I really can't understand the hype and sales for PS4. It's like gamers don't actually care about the most important thing... Games.

Now don't get me wrong, PS4 will end up with many great games during its lifetime (a lot of them will even be exclusive), but that isn't the case right now. Most games available now are also on the PS3. I guess that disproves the myth that graphics don't matter. Obviously they're super important for the majority of the gamers.

Yes, gemers don't care about the best version of GTAV, the best version of Dragon Age, Far Cry4, COD: AW, Shadow of Mordor, The Evil Within, Destiny, NBA 2K 15, Fifa 15,  etc etc.

You are right, these are not games. Only Mario kart is a game...

Don't know if I should laugh or cry...

Aren't most of those games better on PC? Serious question as I don't buy many games on my PC.

Depends on what kind of PC. having just any PC is not a gurantee your game will look better compared to PS4, in fact, chances are its the other way around

Yep, and mostly I don't play games on PC, so even if you could play Far Cry4 at 4k, I will still prefer to play PS4 at 1080p in my living room on a comfortable sofa in front of my Samsung 55''.  Just my taste.


You know that you can do the exact same thing with a PC right? Just sayin'

Its extremely annoying with a PC,maybe you can, but moving your PC each time you want to play on it is just something almost nobody wants to do



Predictions for end of 2014 HW sales:

 PS4: 17m   XB1: 10m    WiiU: 10m   Vita: 10m

Uh, why would you move it?  The majority of people I know who connect their PC to their TV, have their PC hooked up to their TV permanently.

Why would you move your PC? Most PC gamers I know simply leave it in their living room hooked up to their TV where it gets used as a multimedia device and game system. Essentially you spend an extra $100 to get vastly superior multimedia capabilities and extra features (cheaper games and free online too). I'm always astonished by the way some people dismiss PC gaming.



Its obvious, unless you live Alone, its annoying because its thé TV to watch TV, not only to play or go on your PC, so you will have to move it if you live with someone else, unless you dont use your PC often.

And dont tell me to buy a specific TV for m'y PC... I dont like to play on cheap TV 's... Im too much used to m'y expensive big and comfortable screen to watch TV and play. Too expensive to buy an other one like that only for a PC

That is probably thé main reason why everyone prefers to play on console

Nobody in my house would agree to our PC being moved into the TV room. They have no problem with the playstation because they like to play that in there but the pc is for the PC room!

It sounds like the problem is with you, not with PC gaming. You can use a PC in the exact same fashion as either console and for the same purposes plus more. I have a cheap tower that I don't need to move around, I don't need to use a dedicated monitor and I can even use my 360 controller when I want to play platformers or the like. If I want to do work while the TV is in use I simply boot up my laptop. I spend far less in the long run and I can do so much more.

Nobody in my house would have the ability to disagree, since it's my TV.  They can go buy their own, and at the same time, go pay for their own cable, and broadband.

that's good for you! it's actually my TV too but unlike you other people have a choice in my house. Either way I'd still keep it that way because I play PS4 for games not my PC.

I really can't understand how people are still using that comment.  

I guess the fact that the lowly selling KZ:SF, Infamous:SS and even Knack have all sold within Wii U's top 10 (within the top 5 for KZ:SF) isn't enough evidence that people are actually buying PS4 exclusives. Not to mention the many 360 converts who bought PS4 to play GOTG of the 7th gen TLOUR. 

I have 3 PCs in my house, none of them are capable of playing DA:I. I have a PS4 that is capable of playing DA:I. 

Oh, and Destiny isn't available on PC yet, so the best version of that game right now is the PS4 version.

The Fifa fanbase is on Playstation everywhere but UK. If you are a PS gamer and you want to play the definitive PS version of Fifa then you buy a PS4. Just because it's available on PS3 doesn't mean you are being irrational if you buy PS4 to play Fifa 15.
