Funny how its the big leagues when my league is the one displayed on the front page

Front page of an obscure website with very little traffic.  That is like being the prettiest girl at a hillbilly high school of 15 people.

That's not a nice thing to say at all. You better hope a mod doesn't come in here

Just curious, if thats the case why does the biggest game in history launch console exclusive a year before pc?  Why not on oc first with its huge player base.

Minecraft came from PC, hit consoles later.  You have that backwards.  

Steam and Epic have over 200 000 000 active monthly users.  PC is the biggest market, just a fact.  

You verry wel know i ment GTAVI

  • Early Success: By mid-2014, console versions had already sold nearly 54 million copies, exceeding PC sales at that time, according to Polygon.
  • Switch Dominance: The Nintendo Switch version is noted as a huge revenue driver, often outperforming other platforms combined.

The mods are aware of reality.  And my plastic box is still better than yours.  Most players, more games, better graphics, cheaper games, free online.  The list goes on and on.  

Consoles are for kids.

Better graphics depends at how many money you put in a pc, a beefy gaming pc cost a LOT more....and at the end the game is the same.

My bmw is faster then your kia...but in the end we will reach the destination.

Iam so happy iam not a fanboy anymore for any system.

Congratulations on the pee wee victories, but the adults are talking about the big leagues.  Go play in the corner. 

Tbh, consoles and pc's are like kids compared to the mobile gamer community, ..i mean 50% of all games sold are on mobile phones.l,nothing can compete.

Why did GTA IV and/or V never get a Switch release?  No idea, I can't speak to internal decisions for a company I don't work for.  I can wager a guess that PC has a wide range of hardware which makes it harder to optimize, while ps5 is a single unit.  Given the scope of the game, and the debt they take on during the development (billion-dollar budget), they focus on one piece of hardware for optimization in order to get to market fast as possible, to recoup costs, then spread out from there.  My best guess.  

The other explanation is some companies, like Square, haven't figured out the market has changed.  It isn't 1995 anymore.  Granted Square seems to have finally figured out being ps5 exclusive is stupid and killing their business.  

In general, I am not shocked (some) games sell better on consoles.  A given console has a few hundred games.  PC has over 120,000 games.. not including emulation.  Way easier to stick out on a console that has a small fraction of the library PC has.  Add in PC has far superior BC, meanwhile how many Wii U games work on the S2?  None?  Of course consoles gamers are hurting for games.  Also, PC has ultra settings, so when someone upgrades their rig, not only do their old games work, but they look and perform better.   

There is nothing consoles do better than PC, other than being cheap.  Everything else is better on PC.

Yeah. I think this thread has run its course. Just more pointless platform warring.
