For one simple reason. Shared architectures.

If the next Xbox also uses AMD procesors (both CPU and GPU) then games will be cheaper to develop on the PS4, Xbox720 and the PC. All 3 systems would be using x86 which makes porting things between consoles and to the PC much easier. Xbox720/PC will also be very similar in that they'll be using DirectX as the API. All 3 systems will be using AMD's GCN graphics architecture which means what's learned on console should translate to PC for Radeon users. The only major difference is that the PS4 will be using Linux so its graphics API is probably OpenGL, but even that benefits the PC market as there is an ongoing effort to push more games to Linux.

That leaves the Wii U as the odd man out. It differentiates itself by using IBM's PowerPC CPUs and AMD's (what I assume to be) VLIW5 architecture instead of GCN.

Of course, PC will always have the highest fidelity of all the systems, but we don't always get the best titles and we definitely haven't been getting the best ports (if we get them at all). Maybe this will all change... maybe.

I know I won. I had every system at one time or another. And I have been playing games like mad and trying to beat the ones I know I will never play once the new systems come out.

And as close as the gaming experience will be on all platforms (excluding Wii U), fanboys will still bicker about which plastic box is best.

I win every generation because i always end up owning all the Consoles, have back to the NES. So...good for me. :|

I'll be waiting on the new Xbox a bit though. PS4 and Wii U are good for awhile.

Rockstar has improved, Max Payne 3 was unexpectedly good, And if you're wondering about GTA V then no worries because it happens with every GTA and you just have to get used to it. GTA V will release on PC few months after the console versions get released.

Well then, let's talk about the differences. The Jaguar architecture. The per core performance is going to be pretty weak against any desktop CPU, although in comparison to the Cell and the old 3-core PowerPC thing that the 360 was using it's a major step up. Still don't think it was the right choice.

EDIT: Also, the GDDR5? How can PC keep up with 8 GIGABYTES OF GDDR5. My poor GPU only has 2GB. :cry:

Yeah, I know they can do it, and Max Payne 3 is the shining example. GTA IV... was just... never again.

Of course, PC will always have the highest fidelity of all the systems, but we don't always get the best titles and we definitely haven't been getting the best ports (if we get them at all). Maybe this will all change... maybe.

Marfoo

Eh, i would say that titles on this platform are more future proof because they are improved by the community on a frequent basis, and issues with them are usually fixed within a week or two. GTA IV in its current modded iteration is practically a generation ahead and i didn't experience issues with it wen i had a desktop, for a example of a previous horrible port. 

Anyway, i expect deliciously entertaining fanboy wars wen the 720/PS4 is released, every single fanboy out there is going to gush out of the corners and claim superiority against the PC platform.

For about a year or two. Then everything will be back to normal.

Pretty simple. Every month we see "America does not equal the world" post. If someone does not like Americans posting American sales on an American website then I am sure Sweden and Japan have their own websites. And I bet tenaka2's country lets them meet at the park.

I know I win. I am so excited right now. Sitting here waiting on UPS to show up with the last few parts to my PC so I can go upstairs and build it. So I am ready for next gen. Then next year or the year after, I buy the PS4. Well I still need to buy three monitors, but the one I have now is good enough until that purchase.

Yup.
PS4/PC/720 win this gen but not the Wii:U

Microsoft can just pay any dev to port games to the 720 for it to have games cos technically, it should be easier to port.

If we are in the same in that aspect and pretty much all other aspects then its not like the 360 sells well only in america the only place it doesn't sell super well is japan but even there its sold a million+ consoles. side note: god damn eddie has alot of alt accounts speedzilla finalfghters..etc

Dude, come on, really now? Just because we're all the same species, you don't realize that nationalities are very much differentiated by cultural values? Yeah we all have families, but family values differ greatly by culture, as do tastes and styles of cuisine. Everybody has jobs across the globe but that doesn't mean work ethics and standards of employer/employee relations are the same everywhere.

Europeans, Americans, and Asian culture is also strongly contrasted in musical styles, TV and movie styles of story & performance, illustrative art, literature, and even more significantly the underlying subtext to art & entertainment subject matter. This especially speaks of the values within art, most especially in violence and sexuality.

European and Asian culture is nothing like North American, I don't know ehre you got the idea to use NA as a metric for the rest of the world :roll:

It happens though, look at the Sega Genesis, didn't do very well compared to SNES in the USA but thrived in tons of other regions. Also, in Japan loyalty is huge and that means being loyal to a company even in bad times, meaning their fanboyism is in their culture, and it's not just to prove who's better, it's to do what's right.
