@notafan: Xbox isnt really worth owning unless your form of gaming is all about the living room and you have extra money to shell out for more hardware later on and monthly services. You can play all their games on a good Pc and it will run better. Also I dont care how many tflops XseX has its not better than a Pc. The consoles will run mobile chips basically. Powerful mobile chips but mobile chips nonetheless.
@Baconstrip78: I dont like alot of Activision/Blizzards decision making over the years but I think that people are thinking about this issue way too emotionally. Sure what Activision/Blizzard did was messed up but what is Activision/Blizzard? Simply put...They are a company. They are going to do things that companies do like look out for what they think will tarnish their public image. Taking the conspiracy theory out of it about China, if you look at that fact that they couldnt have their livestream hijacked by a political statement, it makes sense.
Says the Villain from a James bond knock off movie. I mean EA has to be the most tone-deaf company in existence. They deserve every bit of the hate they get..
NIS is being lazy af not putting a PC version of this. What about the Steam players who own the first 2 games that want to see the continuation of the story. NIS having a hand in 3s porting..hmmm I dont know......mmmmm
"Oh, so accept something negative that fragments gamers because you said so... no thanks.
And no duh! I know why it has existed so far. Most games don't need to be locked on 1 platform anymore. It is not good for gamers, and is unnecessary unless it has unique hardware limitations."
This is the most moronic statement you can make. Locked on 1 platform that's the Console makers choice to make their own exclusives not yours or anyone's(arguing otherwise is absurd). Its GREAT for gaming because it stimulates competition and competition is good for gaming. When theres no competition that's when these companies screw gamers over with what ever tactics necessary to rip you off from your money. You can even see it happening with 3rd parties. The customer is the most important factor in the whole picture not how much money a company makes. I could give 2 shits about that when I want my games to come from a consumer friendly environment. Not the one your talking about.
"MS is doing fine. They have Xbox and PC. And I'll repeat this you didn't understand from my previous comment: They have software sales on more than 1 platform (aka Xbox and PC).
It doesn't take a genius to know that as long as they can sell software on a platform (aka Xbox and PC), they are making money. Heck, they're even getting software sales on the Switch."
Microsoft has fell off the wagon in 8th gen. They arent producing much in terms of exclusive groundbreaking titles like they did back with the Xbox 360. This whole nonsense theyre doing sharing the few games they do get with Pc(and I mean hey I have no issue with that tbh as a gaming Pc owner) gives people 0 incentive(like i said in my last response) to buy any Xbox console since if you just want to play 3rd party games theres better incentive on Ps4 or Pc. And Like I said above, The consumer is most important. I want good games to succeed but lets be real how many people care about numbers and data of a company. I can give a shit about how much game sales do as long as the quality of what Im playing is high and the game is successful enough to warrant a sequel if its good. What good is it for Microsoft to make all this money when they arent putting enough investment into making hit exclusive games like what Sony is doing. I mean cmon....
