What I posted is on point. I'm 36 and no fanboy as I got love for every console & PC. Most games that you can buy for PC are coming to PS4 and even more imo for PS5 when it drops. As the arch is similar now and easy to port games too. Even MMO's are making the jump to PS4 like FF14 ARR Heavensward for example as PC/PS4 players even play together on the same servers. Same with Portal 2. Tons of Indies that would have been PC only are on PS4. Then games like War Thunder, Blacklight Retribution, Warframe etc too.

Not really it's not, not going by the ongoing list of games that still haven't come to PS at all let alone other consoles. There are still many games that haven't touched PS4 and still some that won't in general.

Never said you were a fanboy and age certainly shouldn't have anything to do with this type of debate, making yourself seem like you're on no side but making a very bold claim that PS4 is going to get all or the majority of PC games sounds like nonese to me. Most games you can buy on PC still aren't on the PS4, that's the end point right there. Also you don't even know about PS5 let alone what's going to happen at that point.

1-2 MMO's at best are on PS4 out of the countles hundreds that are on PC and still more coming out being PC only at that.

Really you're making it sound like PS4/5 is going to be the ultimate alll in one machine over all, that's simply never going to be the case, I'm sorry but it's just not peroid.

For the console that is way behind in sales the only option is chequebook exclusivity. For the console that is way out in front there is no need to get the chequebook out because it's probably really hard to get a tangible benefit from spending more money on exclusivity when you are already far outselling anyone else. But if a publisher approaches you then offering other non-financial assistance is good for both parties. Most western 3rd parties know that they do benefit quite a bit in a generation where PS is on top, but they also see that an actual hardware monopoly is bad. So they support at least one minor platform for most games, and all of the really big games. And besides, if it costs 100K game sales to make a port to a minor platform and they sell 250K+ games for that platform then the minor platform release is a financial success and contributes to the profitability of a game.

Outside the USA a possibility, in the USA, not a chance in hell. The 3rd parties know, a dominant system like the ps2 was, would be a death sentence to the gaming community in this generation. Because if that happened sony would be a arrogant piece of shit , like they were when they announced the ps3.
If anyone actually wants the ps4 to be like the ps2 in sales, then say goodbye to a competitive and growth in our beloved hobby. Any true gamer should want all systems to do well and not a one sided afair.

lol, because the PS2 and 3 were sooooooo horrible.......



Yes but not all since some work most to pc. And ofc nintendo doesnt.



From the answers of you guys I'm inclined to think we'll have lots of PS4/PC only games in the future. This is interesting.



Bet with Teeqoz for 2 weeks of avatar and sig control that Super Mario Odyssey would ship more than 7m on its first 2 months. The game shipped 9.07m, so I won

Even Blizzard rebuilt a console version of Diablo 3 for PS4. More & more are coming but it might take a while to port them over. They might be on PC a while b4 they make on PS4, but many eventually make it over. There are a ton more PC games on PS4 than were on PS3, so it's only logical to think that PS5 will continue that trend. Devs like money & if they build a game for PC & have a chance to port it to PS4 they will jump at the chance. Atm Sony seems pretty content/lax in letting them come on over to their system whether MMO, Indie or 3rd party whatever game. Diablo 3, FF14 ARR Heavensward, War Thunder, Blacklight Retribution, Warframe, countless "Indies" etc as a few examples. Hell even EverQuest Next announced it will be coming to PC/PS4.

The ongoing list archives tell me otherwise: https://www.reddit.com/r/pcmasterrace/comments/1pltzm/a_list_of_pc_exclusives/

Also various other sites that list PC exclusives just keep telling that PC stil has the bigger list, still has the most games than any console under the known sun.

PC is still going to have their own exclusives just like consoels will have some of theirs, PC isn't going to lose all their exclusives though like you think they will by just a Sony console or two. Not going to happen m8.

We can totally keep going back and forth every few hours, days, weeks, months and even years but the results are always going to be the same.

I never said EVERY game will make it over but a lot will and have. Hardly any PC games were on PS2, then a few made the jump on PS3. Compared to those 2 systems PS4 has a ton already is my point. It is trending that way big time atm imo.

You make it sound like every game is though when you say a "lot and have", there are so many games on PC that still haven't made it to consoles and likely never will, that's just a fact of life.

Once again this can go on for days, weeks, months and years but the resulting answer is always going to be the same.
