Just that for most games market lead wont matter. Basically every multiplat comes for PC. Yeah, some japanese games no mainstream customer cares about aren't. But that's it. One damn CoD is proably worth hundreds of 'minor' japanese games when it comes to console sales. Like it or not. So here we are, games get developed for Windows PC, Windows Box and PS4. Actually Scorpio get's higher quality assets for free because of PC games. And with DirectX and Windows all that stuff can be ported easier. Actually it's not even a traditional port.
So, why the hell should the extra power not matter. Even if it's just another silly resolutiongate. So no, more power will be relevant. Not because of market leadership but because it's a no issue to use it. Again, the simple reason is PC gaming and Windows.
P.S.: @ruler: Technically a modern Mac is a PC running on MacOS. It's not a home computer, hasn't been for almost a decade. |
Final Fantasy, Kingdom Hearts, Dragon Quest, just from Square we already have tons of Japanese games that will not release for the PC or that will need to wait some months/years (Final Fantasy 13 took over 5 years), Last time I checked Kingdom Hearts had the size of Gears of Wars/Uncharted in the general sales numbers.
Being on PC does not means nothing for Scorpio because Developers when they release their games for PC they give the option for the user to change settings, lights, shadows, effect etc, for the Scorpio they would need to make 1 version without the possibility of changing settings because this would piss off the Consoles users.
I think that this generation between Sony and Microsoft the biggest new Ip already released is BloodBorne with probably 3+ Millions of units sold, I think that Microsoft's biggest new Ip was Ryze (if they own the IP) and I don't remember the sales Numbers, but I'm sure that Persona 5 will be biggest than many "Main Stream" games that Microsoft tried to release so far, I'm predicting atleast 2+ Millions after the release of the West version and it can be even Higher.
So don't downplay Japanese games since a lot of those games sell or sold more than Majority if not all Microsoft's new Ip this gen.
So explain how a PC version of a game would do Scorpio any good if the version isn't made for the console ?, Developers just give the option for Pc users to make the game look better as they wish but it can't happen on the console, unless besides more frequently Hardware changes, a Closed enviroment, no games exclusive for the console, you also want Microsoft to release the Settings option for the Scorpio.
