PC like experience on PS4 – Sony’s attempt to address cross platform gaming
Bit-Tech: Perhaps the biggest surprise was that the tide of console gamers is a cultural phenomenon which does not appear to cross every border. According to NPD's research, while the UK has the highest incidence of console usage out of all the markets analysed Germany boasts the biggest number of PC gamers.
France, meanwhile, is clinging on to dedicated hand-held consoles like the Nintendo 3DS and Sony PlayStation Portable at a time when NPD's analysis shows that gamers in most other nations have ditched theirs in favour of getting their portable gaming fixes on smartphones and tablets.

you mean like japan, europe or the US where the 3ds is breaking records?
People are ditching the 3DS so fast in the US, 3ds sales have doubled over ds first year sales and the year isnt even over.
No source, no truth
who approved this garbage?
but 250 million global online PC Gamers say other wise.
Everyone with a Gaming PC can play Wii Games so does that mean the world is a Wii Nation?
I think people just enjoy Games and it really doesn't matter the platform.
Console Nation, PC Universe, iPhone Realm, doesn't matter just enjoy your Games.
Considering most PC Gamers will own 1 or more consoles , declaring the UK as a "console nation" is complete and utter bollox.
owning a console and playing the occasional game once in a blue moon doesnt make you a console gamer. Just like owning a pc and maybe playing some random flash game doesnt make you a pc gamer. Alot of pc gamers bought ps3s, its a blu-ray player and media hub that plays games.
I'm from the UK and game on nearly every platform I can think of.
But yes in general I'm more thumbs than fingers when It comes to my games.
Remember in December of last year when Paul Christoforo became the pariah of the internet? Ocean Marketing was at the center of a scandal that took the internet by storm after Christoforo exchanged rude, angry emails with a customer of Avenge Controllers, for whom Christoforo was providing customer service. I recently had the chance to speak with Paul about the whole ordeal and what his life has been like since.
Why would I finish a bad game? I'd rather mice on to something I like.
For achievements?
I only play the games I'm really hyped for so I don't get that problem often.
I try to finish every game i play, i have only not finished 3 games this gen out of 87 games ive played. Yea ive got gamefly & finish on average 1 game per week.
Red River: Operation flashpoint:
Serisouly only lasted 30 minutes the single most horible experince ive had on a game complete trash!
Shadow of the Dammed:
The game wasnt that bad, i dont know what it was abot this game i just didnt care for it & coudlnt force myself to keep playing.
Dead Rising 2:
If the time limit had been removed & auto save features were added to this game it could have been a great game. I lost litterally 3 hours of gameplay because i walked around some corner & walked into a pshyco fight i didnt know was there & lost it all, serisoiuly BS, a sandbox zombie killing fun game with handcuffs was a really stupid idea!
