It would be nice if all games were playable on all consoles.

All games being on the PC would be one of the worst possible ideas.
It removes motivation, competition, and any reason to actually try.


Specially since I think they would just get lazy and let the "mods" fix everything. Along with sloppy ports.

Exclusives exist to sell the console. If the console didn't exist - or was unneeded, exclusives wouldn't exist.
They aren't trying to sell you "games" they are trying to sell you an environment. One where you guys games AND hardware.

If consoles couldn't sell you hardware, controllers, headsets etc PLUS lose out on the "platform royalty" AND have to give a chunk of it to steam - they would quit.

Huh? If all games were on PC, wouldn't that result in even more competition...? Cause now there are even more games to choose from in a platform which already has tons of games being released daily. And steam (as well as other services) have a refund system so if there are sloppy ports, users would just get a refund and the developer/publisher wouldn't make any money...

Everyone should go first party and create their own console.

Why? It is an excellent idea for gamers (as the thread asks) without a doubt, it might not be so good for Sony, but that is hard to judge.

It's good for gamers that want to play on PC*

PS4 is already a PC, only with specifications incompatible to the rest.

Go back and read my post on previous page about the differences between console and PC gaming currently.

Physical Releases, Used Games, Gamepad Online Multiplayer, Streamlined OS for Gaming, Simplicity... etc etc.



Higher truth does not exist.

PC offers the top level of performance and customization.
Xbox offers a PC-like experience in simpler console form.
Switch offers the convenience of a hybrid system and the superior handheld experience.

Sony? They are just redundant. Have great hype-based marketing, though.

We do have different graphical settings for a reason...

You know Xbox and Sony are interchangeable in your post, though the latter furthers your point so you chose them as the redundant party.



Why on Earth, the most successful videogame company on Earth would go 3rd party???



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