CheatCC says: "The animosity between gamers of different system platforms is a timeless source of ranting, presumed to be inevitable in the games industry.

keeping it still relevant,
I only take issue w/ two quotes and the reason is quite simple for both:
"However, despite its impressive figures, the PS4 will still be unable to trump PC development, simply because, as a console, its hardware will remain stationary while PCs continue to evolve."
and
"So, why don’t PC and console gamers shut up, shake hands, and play nice for a generation or two?
but and because...PlayStation® exclusives are PlayStation® exclusives. One important little fact the author failed to include in his analysis.
To be honest, I don't see anything changing. At first I can see devs going the straight route and use the standard PC tools to make a game for both - simply because it's easy to do. One process, but eventually it'll need some console specific work again same as it does now. Competition on consoles will require devs to invest into the engines again. Depending how those games will sell - on consoles vs. PC - we'll if it'll be worth going onto multiple platforms. Devs use PCs already and some games never release on PC, however. Sure, the reason not to release is maybe less justified being so close in tech. But I doubt PC will have priority and consoles will be getting the ports. That's not how the industry works. If anything the console business worked/works and now it'll be even easier to get the games on those platforms. Might rather be the other way around.
