PC has more games than any other platform in existence, being backwards compatible with decades worth of games and being able to run games from other platforms has ensured such a thing.

The PC has more games than the 3DS, Xbox One, Playstation 4, Vita, Switch.... Combined. We can even throw the Xbox 360, Playstation 3 and Wii U in there for good measure too.

Used to be PC gamer, but consoles have vastly better libraries for my taste nowadays.

No idea who Peter Tran is...but this would have been true if it was 2005 lol.

 

For me right now its...

Console

1. Buy Game (Digital through DD store or physical through store)
2. Put game in/download game
3. Download updates
4. Install Updates
5. Play game


PC
1. Buy game (digitally only)
2. Download game (Includes all updates)
3. Settings are autoconfigured but game gives you a option to customize settings if needed, otherwise click on "Continue".
4. Play game

That would have been true if it was 2010.

For me its

CONSOLE

  1. Buy game digitally (cause yes... you can choose to go digital or physical with consoles)
  2. Download game (also includes updates)
  3. Play game (only settings you need to fiddle with is HDR on or off)
PC
  1. Read about and watch videos on games I want to play on my console.


I'm a console gamer, I have lightly dabbed on PC. Just helped my son with a $1600 build. I don't believe any device is better than any other device. I sit in front of 3 PC's at work for most of an 11 hour shift, 5 1/2 days a week for 16 years. The last thing I want to do when I get home is boot up another.

My biggest gripe with some of the PC crowd, is the assumptions they make about console gamers. We all don't use aim assist on shooters. We are not all broke peasants. Or when I read a comment that goes like "those type of games won't do well on console" (how the heck would they know?)



...to avoid getting banned for inactivity, I may have to resort to comments that are of a lower overall quality and or beneath my moral standards.

And I am way past the PC master race types. I can't even begin to fathom how stupid it is for anyone to think that because they are playing a game at higher framerates with better visuals they are somehow better than anyone else or living a better life. That to me is the pinnacle of stupidity and self entitlement.

Except we are playing games at higher framerates with better visuals and it can be a vastly more immersive experience.
Sorry you feel threatened by that.

Feel threatened by that? You should read what I said again.

I couldn't care less how much better or immersive your experience is. The point I was making... and thanks for proving it for me again..... is that there i feel theer is something wrong with anyone (not just PC gamers; there are console gamers that do it too when comparing how much better their pixels looks to another consoles) who feels the need or desire or even thinks in a way that suggests that simply because they are gaming at a higher framerate or resolution there is something wrong with anyone that isn't. Or that that somehow makes them better gamers.



I thought I'd come up with a list of PS4 and PC exclusives to illustrate why I prefer PS4's library. Notice that your preferences may be different from mine. I simply don't care for the majority of PC exclusive games. Games that I don't care about are bolded.

Titanfall Sequel is on all platforms.
Heroes of the Storm I’ve had my fill of League.
Hearthstone A card game. Not a real video game.
WoW: Warlords of Draenor I don’t like games that are unending. I don’t like MMO grinding.
Wow: Legion See Above
Guild Wars II: Heart of Thorns See Above
Galactic Civilizations III Way too expensive. I don’t support games that try to nickel and dime you with DLC.
Starcraft Remastered I’m just not a fan of RTS. I can’t issue orders fast enough. I like time to think out my plans. Building and combat need to be separate phases.
Starcraft II See Above
Cities Skylines Not a fan of city sims or sims in general.
Planet Coaster See Above
Divinity II I’m still holding out for a PS4 physical edition.
Gears of War 4 I hate the Gears series. It’s the epitome of the bland, unoriginal shooter.
Total War: Warhammer IMO not needed since the sequel is better.
Killer Instinct Not a fan of the pricing model. I don’t support games that nickel and dime you.
Every Forza Game Not a fan of racing games.
PUBG I’m not convinced that this is legitimately good. Just popular. There’s always fortnight or whatever.
Star Citizen One of the worst pricing models I’ve ever seen. $40 for a ship? Screw that!
Legend of Grimrock II
Endless Legend
Age of Wonders III
Homeworld Remastered Collection
Civ VI
Total War: Warhammer II
Hearts of Iron IV
Endless Space 2

The Last of Us Remastered
Little Big Planet 3 Not a fan of level building platformers. Everybody’s level sucks, or plays itself.
Infamous Second Son
Bloodborne
Tearaway Unfolded
Disgaea 5
Uncharted 4
Odin Sphere Leifthrasir
Ratchet and Clank
Dragon Quest Builders
The Last Guardian
Persona 5
Horizon Zero Dawn
Injustice 2 No thanks, WB games. Your DLC laden game that costs $100 for the complete edition doesn’t interest me. Also, Injustice is just Mortal Kombat without Fatalities or interesting characters.
Final Fantasy XII The Zodiac Age
Yakuza 0
Yakuza Kiwami
Uncharted Lost Legacy
Crash Bandicoot Insane Trilogy
Gravity Rush 2
Hatsune Miku I may try this in the future. Right now it doesn’t really interest me.
Every MLB Game Not a fan of sports games. Same as Forza.

The PC has more games than the 3DS, Xbox One, Playstation 4, Vita, Switch.... Combined. We can even throw the Xbox 360, Playstation 3 and Wii U in there for good measure too.

Vita has more games than any other handheld in existence. Being backwards compatible with decades worth of games, and being able to run games on other handhelds has ensured such a thing. 

The Vita has more games than DS, 3DS, GBA, GB, Lynx, Game Gear, and WonderSwan.... Combined. We can even throw SNES, Genesis, and NES in there too for good measure. 

Why then has the 3DS outsold the Vita by a laughable number? Because people care about what new and modern games are coming out, much more than they care about the ability to play older games. People also care about quality of games as opposed to quantity.

Why are you arguing about false statements you made up yourself?

And let's all not forget who are the real kings of gaming:
