THANKS to jim ryan !
I have Gaming PC and both consoles that still have exclusives(PS5 and Switch) No reason to get an Xbox, not a single one.my switch dock is connected to my PC monitor so i'm really missing out on playing it at 1440p or higher framerates up to 165hz. but having it on Switch means i can just lift the console out the dock and keep playing in my bed, downstairs, or on the train. i'll happily give up the higher resolution/fps for portability. alright if the games were on PC (steam) i could stream them to my phone/tablet when at home but that's too much hassle and introduces lag.
if given the choice between PC/Switch i'll go Switch just for portability. I also have a PS4 but if i had the choice between buying a game like Horizon Forbidden West on PS4 or PC i'd go with PC. Playstation doesn't give me a really good reason to put up with lower graphics/performance such as portability. So I'll go PC.
Plus higher frame ratesHey that's me. If you want a prettier, moddable and uncensored version of your PS games, buy a PC
Make sense, since you do not need to buy the latest GPUs to play the next gen games (like Deathloop) on PC.It's Going to Get Even Harder to Buy a PlayStation 5
Sony Group Corp. has reduced its PlayStation 5 production outlook for this fiscal year due to component and logistics constraints, according to people familiar with its operations.www.bloomberg.com
Well... I've played TLoU and Spiderman on PC on PSN for PC.Can you get TLOU on PC? No.
can you get Spiderman on PC? No.
can you get Returnal on PC? No.
And those of us who don’t have a PC would need to spend three times the price for a decent, forward looking system. If you have a PC, then sure go nuts but GPUs are still hard to find at a somewhat near MSRP tag.
I'm sure that that's what will eventually happen, an Xbox mode directly implemented in the Windows operating systemOn the Microsoft point, that's just OEM Gaming PCs and Microsoft doesn't really go into device types where it think OEM's are serving the user. That's why they have now gone into Chromebook like devices.
The only reason that consoles exists is a surface vector for the storefronts. Unless Valve decides to go a revenue split model, Steam Machine will die again like it did last time. My opinion is that the price comparison to other gaming PCs and software support didn't work.
I would separately like Microsoft to actually introduce their own version of a big picture mode that I can boot into and switch out of as needed.
I can’t say streaming is anywhere near the native PC experience. Cool that you enjoyed it- I hate streaming from PSNow on my PS5.Well... I've played TLoU and Spiderman on PC on PSN for PC.
I thought TLoU was awesome and currently playing TLoU2. The cool thing is I could play these games on a potato.
i'm not sure where consoles fit in all of this. Kind of obsolete devices with no future to speak of.
People would stop playing on Nintendo Switch if they games are coming to PC? Genuine question.

I'm fairly sure that there are significantly more PC-only gamers who'd buy Nintendo games on PC than there are console-only Nintendo fans who'd be willing to ditch Nintendo consoles and spend 3-4 times the money on a gaming PC instead. The additional money from the former would easily make up for the money lost to the latter.It would hurt their profits for sure, because Nintendo doesn't have the major third party incentives backing them up that other platforms do. You buy Nintendo for first party, this has been the case for over two decades now. If Nintendo put their first party games on PC it would significantly undermine the incentive to adopt Nintendo hardware.

You played tlou via psnow you mean? That is the worst way to experience it, afaik they only ever added the PS3 version.Well... I've played TLoU and Spiderman on PC on PSN for PC.

If you're going to be running Switch games on a toaster PC that barely runs them better than the console itself then what's the point?Nintendo games are not technically that demanding you wouldn't need a big gaming PC. Something like Monster Hunter Rise which was a Switch exclusive before runs on toaster PCs. Hell the upcoming 64GB Steam Deck will run Monster Hunter Rise. If all Nintendo games were ported to PC you wouldn't need a powerful system.
The vast majority of console gamers simply do not want to game on a PC. That may be especially true in Japan, but it's true in Europe and North America as well. Even on enthusiast boards like this one where people spend inordinate sums on their hobby and ownership of multiple platforms is common you have tons of people who refuse to game on PC for all sorts of reasons.If you have a decent PC why would you buy games in a console? There are some specific games that are better on console like FIFA and COD but for 95% of games a PC version is the better choice. I understand that japanese are behind the times by 20 years at least but PCs are a better alternative to consoles most of the time.
And the idiotic comment of the day goes to....i'm not sure where consoles fit in all of this. Kind of obsolete devices with no future to speak of.

Steam Deck?Secondly, I don't wanna build a PC. A lot of people don't either. You buy a console, plug it into your TV, and that's it.
Thirdly, I don't wanna fart around with settings, compatibility patches and mods before I've even started the game. I tried PC gaming and while the performance increase (at the time) was welcome, the hassle of getting games to run optimally with my setup wasn't worth it. All the publishers and developers who makes games I'm interested in generally seem to prioritise console performance over PC performance. What's more, in three short years console technology has dramatically surpassed my PC and at little more than half the cost. I returned to consoles with no regrets and have no intention of maintaining PC as a primary gaming device, especially given the currently extortionate price of cards.
The PS4, Xbox and Switch say hello!Come on dude the ps5 shortage is nothing compared to the graphics card shortage.
Console to PC switch has been happening for a while now as the gaming population matures which makes total sense. Kids on the other hand are gaming on tablets and phones.
if you are serious about gaming you build a PC and if not you just use your phone or tablet. i'm not sure where consoles fit in all of this. Kind of obsolete devices with no future to speak of.
Oh, I'm sure you can think of all sorts of reasons. The question is how many people do these reasons actually apply to?To be able to run Nintendo games as well as 3rf party games that usually don't come on Switch. For example someone who wants to buy Assassin's Creed Odyssey and Mario Odyssey. Also someone who doesn't want to be restricted to Nintendo ecosystem and buy cheaper games on sale. And take their library with them as they upgrade hardware. Also not having to pay for online as well have easy access to emulation. Also majority of indie games expensive on Switch than Steam. I can think of many reasons. It could even be someone just got a laptop for work or studying and sing is a addition.
We all know that if it wasn't for PS5 shortage this would not be happening as fast.
1.4 million copies on demons souls Is a joke. Demons souls would sell that in a day on PC alone. So would BB. It's such a fucking moronic decision not to put one of the best genres for PC gamers, on PC.
Shit needs to happen faster
PC is a growing market;
PS brand is declining and PS5 is hard to find;
Sony censor games in a country where lewd software have a big role;
Water is wet.
Oh, I'm sure you can think of all sorts of reasons. The question is how many people do these reasons actually apply to?
All the data available suggests that most console gamers game on console because they want to game on console, not because the games they want to play aren't on PC. Just look at Microsoft. Deciding to release all their exclusives day one on PC hasn't hurt their hardware sales one bit. In fact, their new consoles are on track to being the best-selling Xbox consoles ever.
If anything, Nintendo fans are even more loyal than Xbox fans, so why assume that things would be any different?
Lol. I’m a PC elitist but I wouldn’t go that far. I’m just happy that almost every game comes to PC nowadays.Thats great. We should abandon consoles and go all PC gaming.
Because everyone has great internet.It gets a bit weird and I know it's not the same but you could have played TLoU and Spider-man on PC via PS Now but ignore that random tidbit.
In Japan Demon's souls sold less than 70k.We all know that if it wasn't for PS5 shortage this would not be happening as fast.

jesus. so fucking sad.In Japan Demon's souls sold less than 70k.
I know its not the best way to play the game but it didn't bother me one bit. I at least got to play the game in perfectly playable way. That is after buying a DS4 controller. The Xbox controller just didn't work very well.You played tlou via psnow you mean? That is the worst way to experience it, afaik they only ever added the PS3 version.
Yep, and it played absolutely fine. I've also completed UC1, UC2, and half way through UC3. Just having to complete TLoU2 before that leaves the service at the beginning of Jan. It looks pretty good at 1080p.You played tlou via psnow you mean? That is the worst way to experience it, afaik they only ever added the PS3 version.
You are right the PS5 shortage is significantly greater.Come on dude the ps5 shortage is nothing compared to the graphics card shortage.

Yeah i guess it's pretty much the only way to play it right now on pc, i always find it weird why sony never updated those games to ps4 versions. Ps3 version isn't bad but those are flagships titles for playstation, why do they want people experiencing an inferior version? It's not like they are selling alot of copy of those games right now.Yep, and it played absolutely fine. I've also completed UC1, UC2, and half way through UC3.
