Why does it ened to be a vs thread though?.

 

It doesn't..it was a retort to the VS (non)debate in the title. A would-be clash is nullified as games are transferred between both platforms and for everyone who'd "see less reasons to own a ps4" there'll be those who "sees less reasons to bother with a gaming PC". The discussion would be different if things went to PC and nothing came from PC to consoles.

This scenario was somewhat inevitable anyway.. Locking yourself into a platform and only one revenue source without having any contractual obligation to do so is just asking to be counting down the days till your doors get closed. If releasing Neptunia games on PC helps IF keep making new games on PS4/Vita, I'm all for it, 0 reasons to be bothered or want to switch platforms. Better then seeing them close down.

In the long run the distinguishing factors between platforms will mostly consist of self published titles.. And by that I mean console-manufacturer published games (not necessarily first party, see Bloodborne or Scale bound) on consoles, and (partially) Valve/Blizzard(some) + self published Indies on PC.

Though..despite writing this, I do have to give the final plug to PS4 with an easy example. Out of recent announcements, we could make a list of, imagine, 10 games. Now, maybe 4 are console exclusive, 4 are console debuts and 2 are timed exclusives.. What this results in paper:

PC gets 4 of those games. It might get some of the others. Using a concrete example, Nioh could very well get a PC version but I doubt NNK2 will (NX seems like the safe bet).

NX gets 4 or at best 6.

X1 might get between 4 and 6, but possibly even 0.

Ps4 gets all 10. Retains the advantage over the other platforms that regular exclusivity would give it.

This is the point i whas trying to make!

More sales more games more fun for us all!

you should change the rant part for the video title.

Topic: For me I could careless about a gaming pc, I have a laptop for everything I need to use it for in combintion with a sweet playstation console for every type of game^^



Only idiots keep the PC vs console debate "hot". Mainly because there is nothing to debate about.

It's as pointless as my Galaxy Note 3 vs 3DS debate.

Well they are the master race. How else would people know that when it's not constantly spammed into comment sections?

Am I alone on the thought that PC gamers should be thankful that consoles exist so many many games wouldn't even exist without the console market to back the industry up? I mean, with the high piracy rates still existing and the fact that a good portion always wait for a sale to get their games, PC gaming alone couldn't afford the huge expensive AAA games of today's standards. Without consoles, those standards would be very low.



...Let the Sony Domination continue with the PS4...

I feel you are right in that you are alone on such a thought because without PC's at all we wouldn't even have games, let alone the advancements PC gaming brough along with it and still does to this day, the titles that also stem from the platform that wouldn't exist without PC gamers and PC centric devs. I feel we should all be thankful for a platform that creates and gives us games than a brand.



Mankind, in its arrogance and self-delusion, must believe they are the mirrors to God in both their image and their power. If something shatters that mirror, then it must be totally destroyed.

My view is that PC is superior in any way shape or form

Yeah, Bloodborne runs much better on PC.



Nintendo is selling their IPs to Microsoft and this is true because:

AAA doesn't mean better. For example, Fallout 2 is a better game than Fallout 3 IMO, and Fallout 2 likely didn't have anything near an AAA budget when it released as a PC exclusive. Same with Morrowind vs. Oblivion vs. Skyrim.



See? Nice guy Sony allowing games to be ported.
