Nothing prevents Sony or Nintendo to make PC games as well...

Surprised I haven't seen a big library from them on PC yet. Clealry something is preventing them from tapping a market they have ignored for a very long time.

Clearly, there has been games made by Sony studios for PC. So your point is, at this point, baseless.

Just like how you wanted to call it at the start and yet I don't see a big library on PC so your point is baseless as well, want to fight about it?.

Unless you can bring facts explaining what is preventing them from releasing some games on PC, but not nome others... Then no. I think enough time has been wasted on you.

Sony is a hardware manufacturer. They release most of their games exclusively on their own platforms to bring value for that hardware. Nintendo does the same. Heck, nothing prevented them from releasing content on mobile, yet they were reticent because up until recently they thought it would dilute the value of their hardware and franchises. Surely you can see how it affects the XBox One as well, considering a lot of people don't buy the console because most of the first party content is also coming out on PC.

You didn't list all those titles Sony pubbed to PC let alone directly ported from the likes of Nintendo, you just said they do and I said a big library, not one or two titles.

Nothing rpevents them but they choose not to for what you said, that I agree with but I don't see them just releasing on PC all willy nilly which was why I chose Kapi's option and applauded it over my original choice.

Just inc ase you didn't already know but MS did not start out with video games and their console, they actually started video games a hell of a lot earlier before XBox was even an idea. I thought you would have known that they started off with PC gaming and are still clearly trying to win and gain that market back from everyone else trying to grab a piece of the pie.

I know all that about Microsoft. That's not really relevent though. 

My point is that the same would apply for any of the companies. If they would be owned by a single entity, there is nothing that would prevent them from releasing on PC if they so wanted. Nintendo and Sony may not be doing it, but if they controlled all the big titles being released, either everyone would game on their consoles, or they'd release those titles on as many viable platform as possible.

Except it is because they still have a stake, they still delievr at times comapred to the others ebcause they know that market exists, the other two simply choose to ignore that market because it won't adhere or adapt to them let alone them not being able to have it all, otherwise we'd have seen movements years ago.

The single entity part doesn't matter because in the end when you are owned by a single entity and are not autonomous then you are to do as that entity tells you to. It's like you are trying to say that even if they are all as one they still won't release for PC or that they culd release for PC currently, the dfiference here is that they don't bother because I explained that above already.

@Bolded, yeah that would be a beautiful monopoly for them to have but not good for a PC gamewr which was why I preffered Kapi's option where exclusives are no longer a thing and you know as well as I do that PC isn't owned by a company, it's a platform where devs sell to so bno one can moneyhat exclusives or buy a company to make games exclusively for them, with PC it's up to the dev entirely or the hardware that dictates.
