We will cash in first on the PSVR for obvious reasons possible bigger install base and also making the game for the PSVR first we dont have to downgrade the Rift and other more powerfull Vr set ups. Latter after cashing the console version we will get our game the too where we will show the true VR vision we have for our game...PC enviroment .... Rift,ViVE....

How can you be you

DarXyde2901d ago (Edited 2900d ago )

I thought it was pretty obvious that Raider69 was suggesting that the VR install base could be bigger on PS4 (HINT: they specifically stated "possibly"). It is, after all, cheaper than the competition.

And let me say, your assessment of PC gamers as "die hards that upgrade at a [minute's] notice" is naive. Had you done a little research, you'd probably realize that most PC gamers don't meet the requirements to run VR. Allow me to inform you...

Oculus (the mid-range VR but low-end PC VR) recommends a GTX 1070 or 970 from NVidia and the R 390 or 290 from AMD. CPU should be an i5 (running at 2.7-3.3GHz) . According to the Steam survey, a very small fraction of PC gamers meet that requirement with the CPU being one bracket below that. In fact most gamers are clustered around the 1080p resolution. Why? Probably because their hardware is rarely powerful enough to run well beyond that.

SOURCE #2: http://store.steampowered.c...

PSVR however is made for dedicated hardware. 40M+ users which likely has a very high adoption rate for the cameras (especially since they were very hard to find early on) and PlayStation Move is pretty cheap now. Sony is actually in a pretty good position with VR. Point being, PC gamers are not as heavy investors as you think. We often hear how console gamers in the long run spend more money. That's actually subjective, but not exactly untrue either. If Ubisoft's claims are anything to go by, there's a staggering piracy rate of popular games ( http://www.eurogamer.net/ar...

So no, PC gamers are not about to drop crazy money on hardware upgrades that quickly when there's a potentially considerable piracy rate, let alone a $600 VR set and upgrading their hardware to support it. Not right away, anyway. They'll likely invest only when they need to upgrade their hardware naturally, not specifically for VR.

EDIT:

I see you edited your comment... No matter, the important parts of your comment are addressed in this post of mine.

You wrote something very silly and misinformed, Castillo. As long as you understand you were misinformed, I'm cool with that.

How many have PC's more powerful then a PS4? The issue isn't folks that own a PC, the issue is folks that don't own POWERFUL PC's.

That is like saying "how can Alienware PC have a bigger install base then console" you are stating a set platform, against MULTIPLE platforms.

That isn't how that works bud. Companies don't see PC install base as BILLIONS of PC's, they see as what can we work with, with WHO owns WHAT coniguration.

Is that no different then when Rocksteady is looking at what platforms can support Arkham Knight? They are not saying "WOW CONSOLE has 72 MILLION CONSOLES" ie adding Wii U numbers, they are seeing they have 50 million of consoles THAT CAN support their game.

The same reason they didn't support the Wii U, is the same reason why they wouldn't support PS3, 360 or yes ,a low end GPU set up. PC has more install base yes.....but like my statistics professor always states, ask what matters and why, not merely a set number.

PC is a lot of things, a lot that isn't relevant to developers if the power isn't there.

Console is a lot of things....a lot that isn't relevant to developers if the power isn't there.

ie Rocksteady isn't releasing Arkham Knight on CONSOLE ie PS3, 360, Wii, Wii U etc, they are releasing it on PS4, XONE. Thus, we can't put the term "Console" or "PC" as a set thing.

PS4, XONE.

HIGH END PC....

freshslicepizza2901d ago

there is still a sizeable amopunt of pc gamers who have hardware more powerful than the ps4. all one needs to do is look at how well nvidia is doing and their new cards will also fly off the shelves.

the pc has other drawbacks, namely piracy. plus they don't have hardware makers willing to take a loss and spend huge money marketing games.

Fin_The_Human2901d ago

EDI ti answer your question every PS owner has a high end PC because according to them every time a game comes out for XB and PC they will play the PC version.

MasterCornholio2901d ago

You also don't need a high end PC to play Xbox One games unless they are badly optimized.

Xbox content + services up 62% while hardware down 31%... seems about right with the way they tout you don't need the hardware to play. People can play on their phones or smart tv or other means. I don't hardly play on my consoles directly since getting devices like the logitech g-cloud and ps portal. Which is to also say I have been playing more digital than physical because of these devices.

solideagle4h ago

you should apply in MS PR team buddy, I think you will do a great job in my humble opinion :)

Sonic18812h ago

I thought darthv72 and Obscure_Observer already work for Microsoft 🤔

dveio1h ago

MS: "Xbox services and content without AB up 1%, with AB up 62%. Hardware down 31%. In total a loss of 350 mill."

darthv72: "Seems about right."

MS: "Excuse m ..."

darthv72: "I don't hardly play on my consoles directly."

MS:

Cacabunga4h ago

I can tell people like you are an absolute minority..

If service is up means their fans and fanboys accepted this model and subscribed to it. The near future you will see a big decline because the service is saturated.

shinoff21833h ago

But that's been ms for years. When things aren't going their way they try to change the way things are said. For instance console sales are down, they stop telling how many sold instead telling us how many hours spent in halo or headshots. So it makes sense console sales down just say people are playing on more devices then previous. What they won't say is how many xbox players jumped ship to ps5.

Cacabunga2h ago

Hardware sales are so bad that Sony and Nintendo are blowing the sales off the water with their hardware.

If Xbox are losers, others aren’t..
Xbox already tried everything with Xbox live then subscriptions went down so much that they had to find something else. Their fans subscribed then reached saturation rather quickly.

Hardware and exclusive games is where it’s at! Keep gamers excited, announce decent software and people will support you

Xbox hardware revenue tanks to lowest point of Xbox Series generation

Profchaos6h ago

I'm not surprised surface is struggling they aren't relevant anymore

XBManiac5h ago

Too expensive hardware when others offer the same or more for less? Good work, Green Team.

SimpleDad5h ago(Edited 5h ago)

"Despite some early successes for Xbox games on rival platforms, Xbox hardware is down by a massive 31 percent this quarter."
"Without Activision Blizzard, Microsoft’s overall gaming revenue would have actually declined this quarter."
"Xbox content and services would have only been up a single percent without Activision Blizzard..."
"It looks like next quarter is going to be a similar story for gaming at Microsoft, too."

That is crazy... so A/B/K is carrying the whole Xbox gaming.
Oh and Microsoft will be fine. Windows, Office and Cloud are growing with each pc purchase.

purple1015h ago

Activision: "we gonna need a bigger rucksack/backpack please"

Microsoft: "why's that"

Activision: "to carry yo' weak ass'

Profchaos4h ago(Edited 4h ago)

Top brass have also wanted to start seeing returns on the 100 billion they have put into various Xbox related moves so seeing more multiplatform games is highly likely especially from abk

It's basically saying that PlayStation is the reason Xbox is afloat right now thinks to Ps5 versions of COD

Kornholic3h ago

So basically PS and PC gamers' money is keeping Xbox on life support.

first emulation, now this
even though I don't play Garry's Mod, it is still bad

Inverno16h ago

I was reading it's all just false reports from a troll who's done things like this in the past and not Nintendo themselves.

-Foxtrot7h ago

Well the games creator Gary Newman confirmed it himself on Twitter.

Seems that's still being debated.
