A surprisingly well thought out article, well sourced and interesting to read.

Great article. One day consoles WILL be nothing but a PC. As kids grow more tech savvy the idea of using a Keyboard and mouse as well as PC like options and installations will not be such a daunting idea. Every generation since the Super Nintendo has tried more and more to be like a PC. The trend will continue until we are all gaming on unified PC models, instead of consoles.

Well the PS3 is able to double as a Linux computer. But that aside, PCs are mostly suffering under their costs of upgrade and frequency required to do so for most of the nicer newer games.

I personally see the industry tripping over it's shoelaces. All they have to do is tie up those troublesome loose ends and they can litteraly get up and running.

Bring the price of games down to counter piracy instead of bulling and big brothering users. Restrictions will only spur on others to get around those.

DON'T COPY THAT FLOPPY!

i built a PC i used for 4 years without upgrading. if you build it right....you can play fine for years to come.

...but I'd also add that proper planning is extremely essential. I find that the higher end quality upgrades keep you playing for much longer then the quick, "just enough to play this game" cheap upgrades. You spend more in the long run on incremental upgrades on the PC. Then again I will always expect the PC to be better given total cost to configure a better then average or good rig vs purchasing a console.

@ him

the major knock on PC gaming from the ill-informed console nitwits is that u have to spend hundreds of dollars every year to play great games and have fun. which you dont.

great advice about planning before buying. bubble for you my friend.

If sony want their games to be more successful on pc and to sell more they need to bring the games day-one like helldivers 2! , and not after 2 years.

If it's first party (can't speak on Helldivers) then the PS5 should be focused on first in my opinion rather than worrying about 2 versions.

Nixxes can help with the development and release the games at the same time..

Tacoboto9m ago

Nixxes takes completed code and ports that to PC. I'm sure they do work during primary development but I like this setup.

PS5 owners are treated as first class by their platform holder, PC players get the final complete version, and GaaS are treated separately. Win-win.

XiNatsuDragnel3h ago(Edited 3h ago)

First party ps5 games need to be ps5 only until 6 months imo because they need to sell consoles still and then focus on PC later.

shinoff21833h ago

I don't see a big deal. The sales also help future development. I'm all in.

This makes sense, just now doing it shows how behind and short-sighted regarding PC they were to begin with.

If they release it day one many will not buy a playstation anymore (me included).
