Do you really think they only thing stopping people from switching from console to PC, are the 2-3 worthwhile exclusives?
Are you really that delusional?
People play on console because they are too lazy, or too fucking stupid to make their own PC.
So no, I don't think this will effect their sales in the slightest.

Why do you think this will kill their console sales? They are releasing a new one too, which is just going to trick all the stupid consumers 80% of the console market into thinking they'll get high end gaming on a console.

Sony clearly didn't seem to think 2 million for BB was bad, considering that they subsequently commissioned From for two more collaborations with Japan Studio.

Though honestly I'm a bit worried From are stretching themselves a bit here; they're currently working on DaS 3 DLC, a new multiplat (With VR support), the first of their two Sony collaborations and they heavily implied they were working on a new installment of an old IP (So AC in all likelihood). That's an awful lot of juggling for a studio with about 250 employees.

The Souls series had only sold 8 mil across 5 releases and 5 platforms, at that point.

2 mil is a good number, and that's a year old (and not counting DLC sales).

I am 99% sure that if every exclusive MS released on PC would have stayed on Xbox a lot more consoles would be sold, including shit like Rise of the Tomb Raider with their timed exclusivity, 100% exclusivity gets you sales. It's weird that people act like console wars are over, look at the PS4, it's killing the competition, why is that exactly? Would it be killing if all their games went to PC? I don't think so.

This is fairly on-point; no way in Hell Microsoft would be porting off 90% of their exclusives to W10 if it hadn't became apparent they'd just fallen too far behind the PS4 to fight toe-to-toe any longer.

Honestly, this whole thing makes you wonder how things would be going now had Microsoft not gotten complacent and borderline sabotaged the 360 in the latter days of its lifespan and continued that on to the early days of the Xbone.

Again, you're acting like the only reason any buys a console at all is because of exclusives.

Are you saying the only reason you don't play games on PC, is because you want to play that 1 good game a year? If so, there is not point in having a conversation with you, because you sound pretty fucking retarded.

I'll pretend that isn't the case for now.
Exclusives aren't the reason consoles sell. It might be why they sell between each other Although I doubt it, people are pretty rooted in their favourites companies for multiple generations by now, but even if Xbox released all their exclusives on PC, the only other place to play them, if you don't have a PC is.... You guessed it, the Xbox.
And if Sony released all their exclusives on PC as well, the only other place to get them, other than a PC would be the playstation.

Your average consumer is either too stupid, lazy, or ignorant to get into PC gaming. The vast majority are gifts bought by parents for their kids. Consoles will still continue to sell regardless, and if you think an entire company is going to stop selling consoles because they are now allowing their consoles to exist on PC, then you are mentally gimped.

Microsoft knows what they are doing. They are a much bigger, and more successful company than Sony. They didn't become that way be being morons.
>>
>>341995471
The PS4 is winning because it launched cheaper and the Xbone had a horrible launch with required kinect and always online and all that. The exclusive sales on PS4 don't come close to total PS4 units sold.

no, that's why the Xbox One got shit on for years because the PS4 was more powerful, smaller, and had an internal power supply on top of it all.

It's kind of amazing how the original Xbox One could be so big but I think it's because MS intended for it to silently run 24/7 thanks to the HDMI passthrough.

Original 360 was designed by an architect, then given to the engineers who were told "Make it work".

Launch XB1 was designed solely by the engineers.

XB1 S was co-designed by designers + engineers together.

I haven't heard this but honestly the feature is kind of worthless anyway. The passthrough degrades video quality and it has horrible judder with 1080i content. Also lags when you use snap.

Supposedly the S is marginally faster than the original Xbone, instead of giving devs that extra power, they should use it to improve the UI experience, snap, etc.
>>
>>342000647

It's only for those "HDR Pixels" they were talking about. Allowing the Slim to go above 24-bit colour. But you'd have to buy a TV that supports higher than 24-bit colour to see any benefits.

>>342001198
I dunno about that, but Spencer said in the Giant Bomb interview saying more devs should use dynamic resolution, not sure if he meant Gears 4 does.

Yeah exactly. I'd much rather a better user experience than have that power go towards devs, majority of whom aren't going to use it, and the ones who do use it won't see dramatic differences that will make it worthwhile. Meanwhile, if they actually used that power "exclusively" for OS improvements, we can actually see the difference, apps load faster, multitasking is easier, etcetc. Which in turn, improves our overall experience of gaming on that system, which gives us the perception that the games run well.

So really, they're missing out. They're throwing everything they've got at VR shit, and it seems nothing on actually improving the basics.

I agree, Xbox One especially needs it because one of its supposed killer features, snap, will lag regardless of which media app you use. All snapped apps drop frames constantly and after a few minutes the audio is just flat out of sync with the video. Sucks because the idea of Snap is really fucking great and it could be such an advantage for the Xbox One over the PS4 but as it stands it's a novelty and actually a worthless feature.

>>342002748

Nigger just holding the controller on a daily basis with clean hands will cause gunk and dirt buildup, regardless of how clean your hands are. I have a Wii. Those fucking remotes need cleaned so god damn often. And it's not just your hands. You drop a Wiimote and it gets scuffed or scratched? Congrats. That scuff/scrath will be painfully visible for fucking ever because the Wii controllers are something even worse than a plain white controller. They're fucking GLOSS white.

it's really not only about the hardware(at least with consoles), Im out of console game for good(PS2,Dreamcast,gc & XHueg beeing my last ones I had).

Dreamcast had best hardware(until Xbig), yet PS2 won by huge margin.
Xhueg had Morrowind(huge deal for consoles, just console crowd was too dumb to appreciate) .
Point is, Sony always made most sophisticated consoles(they were always nicest, every fucking gen, even PS3Fat was something different at the moment of release).


Im really out, i have old I5-2500k and GTX660, im playing Witcher on Mid to High and sometimes Fallout4 on High and Ill leave it until that hardware dies, wont buy new one, so, im not some hidden console crusader or PCuck.

Point is, both $ony and M$ are heartless corps and they stink, only difference is, Sony does have their ear closest to the ground and they do release at least one "game-changing" game per generation(Demons Souls and the rest).
All three survivors(M,S & N) are full of shit but sony at least throws some bony here and there,
and they do look nicest, every fucking gen..

you really dont know shit, do you...
M$ are total morons, only saving grace was that they somehow made Windows OS as an mandatory PC "hardware" part for computer to work, that shit made them so fucking filthy rich, all they need to do is buy rights on patents(and they do), they literally get percentage on every sold PS4,Apple,Mitshubishi, Samsung etc,etc,etc product.
Its like pyramid scheme at this point.

Only this huge influx of money is whats keeping them from going under,
and every fucking thing they did, they did wrong(from Zune, over Lumia to xbox,and so much in between).

They fucked up so hard on E3(with Xbone, also, everyone forgets what EVIL Xbone is, they lube it a little, waited for people to forget and here we go again, one firmware away from E3), every other corp would go under, they just blushed,yet again.
When Sony fucked up with PS3, they had to sell 2 skyscrapers just to get by.
m$ is literally throwing money on problems until they go away.
As long as their legal subsidiary is patenting every bullshit they went into and sue everyone, they are golden.

Why the fuck do you think they are giving away win10, when did you see anyone give someone for free in USA? maybe first rock of crack..

Microsoft is fine with selling games to Xbox and PC because they practically own both platforms, considering how many computers run windows.

The situation isn't the same for Sony because if they lose exclusives, they actually lose money, and even worse for them, a good chunk of it to MS, so they can't do the same.

Also even if it wasn't about sales, thank god for an industry leader who cares about the quality of the experience and not solely sales.

No, ideally the Xbox One was a massive success in the living room and their walled garden is generating massive profit from media and games. This strategy simply makes business sense for them atm because the Xbox one won't see significant growth through the rest of its lifecycle which is why they announce their next version so early. Only locking people to their eco-system matters.

Neo and scorpio are a major change in the typical console cycle in that, instead of a console naturally trailing off in sales near the end of the cycle they boost sales and retain install bases rather than hitting the reset switch every 8 years which has become a huge risk. Even if Neo and scorpio aren't the "next" generation of the consoles you can expect forwards and backwards compatibility with software and accessories from here on out because keeping consumers locked to your established eco system far more important due to online distribution.

This is all possible because commodity hardware finally won out and I can see X86 and SMID/SIMT based graphics cores being the the standard for the foreseeable future.

they are like oldest toad in the pond, so old and tired, fat beyond belief, only thing it made good was, it shat in its mouth, so flies came by their own volition into the mouth of and feed that toad, nothing else did that toad did right.

and with that bashing i gave counterargument,

Sony cant give their exclusives on Steam(BTW. im no snypny,) because Steam is Windows and Xbox by proxy, everything written for Win is.


They(sny) invested their money into making a new IP (successful, unsuccessful, unimportant) as an marketing strategy,
as if:"Look, guys, we have a great time on PS4, we play Bloodborne all day long, every day, for the last 4 years, we so happy!"

These games are what PS4 brand is famous for(Uncharted, Killzone, idk...), their only porpoise is to attract people to their platform, if they release it on steam, they promote Windows.

What I would like to see(purely out of fun clusterfuck to watch) is that Steam and Sony(is based on linux distro) merge and start making and distributing games only for Linux, now that would be a nice disturbance in the force.

Sony makes hardware(consoles for console crowd), steam deals with digital distribution, linux only, you can still build your own PC, install some linux distro , go to steam and it just werks.
Then, yes, Sony would release their precious exclusives on steam, because they promote themselves either way.

>Why has Microsoft's design artists suddenly got so fucking good over the past couple of years?
It must take unearthly talent to draw a rectangle and say "finished!" But all in all Sony isn't much better. The PS4 is a rectangle to, it's just slanted, (like an eraser) so it stands out among all the other lazy designs. When the PS3/360 were all originally announced, lots of cool concepts sprung up that made me excited for what we might be getting. After being thoroughly disappointed, it happened again with the PS4, and yet again 'no design' is what they basically went with. The PS4 currently is the only console that has even the least bit of design, and that's just because it slants. Fucking christ game industry, get your shit together.

The wii and wiiU are Nintendo's worse looking home consoles... They look like fucking Wester Digital Mybooks, not even gameconsoles. The NX will likely be the same because whatever design ability they had at Nintendo is clearly gone. And if we're comparing that to the current xboxes, we are literally just arguing about which "rectangle" is better.

You seem to think that somehow people using a windows PC to play sony games through steam hurts sony.
It doesn't.
Sony doesn't have a foot in the OS business. They aren't competiting there, they shouldn't care that people are playing games on a windows machine.

As long as its on steam, and available to all OS's, they should be fine.


Also, hardly anyone uses a linux. Mac gaming is also a joke.

>>342014593
still you dont get it.
dont look at them as games, look at them as
marketing campaigns.(expensive ones at that).

Im not saying that 2 million Bloodbornes sold 2 mill ps4s,
but if they sold 100k consoles, it was a good investment, that will keep on giving in the long run.

And as far as exclusives go, there are 2 types of exclusives, hostages and wouldnt even exist in the first place.
Tomb Raider is hostage game(shame no one gives a fuck), Bloodborne is not,Halo is not(Halo2 on PC was welcomed as an third butt hole),Abe Odyssey was hostage(they rerelased it year or two ago on everywhere but it was too late, shame Oddworld franchise hit the dust(tnx to M$), Alan Wake was an hostage, Red Dead Redemtion was not hostage(it was fairly experimental game that used RAGEngine on weak consoles to dramatic effect), Gears of War hostage, Crash Bandicoot not hostage.

As long you get some game that couldnt be released because no one would publish it or invest in it because its too risky, yet it kinda falls into :"Whoa, looks , they be push them envelope!" teritory, its OK, its not perfect but its OK, but when they go to publisher, game is 90% over for all platforms, but they cash out to make it exclusive, well that is bullshit and M$ is famous for that shit.
Sny invests their money to make games that dont exist , so devs can add that extra layer of spit and polish and actually not worry if it will sell or not(usually when devs make a game they feel its gonna be good, like they are doing it for themselves, those games end up great and groundbreaking, without gameplay tester responding how he feels every 10 seconds and all that=.

Honestly, it looks like shit. At least the port design on the back is alright.

It's a shame that they're outsourcing the industrial design to India, considering that this is what's coming out of that effort.
