Judging from the results shown in the recent DF-s analysis, it depends. Did the exclusivity deal come cheap? How many people bought the Xbox version? If it sold well and the exclusivity deal was a penny change, then it wasn't mistake for MS gaming division. The users on the other hand...
Actually PS3 overtook Xbox360 in that regards (units sold) at the end of the generation, which is impressive given that Xbox360 had a head-start.
Definitely Horizon:Zero Dawn...tho i haven't played Origins.
Talk about double standards...
Another year, another game awards that should not be taken too seriously.
As always the only goty that matters is your own.
AngryJoe said it best when it comes to the topic at hand.

"Sure they're the same price at launch but they drop drastically afterwards something you don't see on digital console games"
Surprisingly this gen, consoles digital games stores managed to go toe-to-toe with most PC-based selling platforms like GOG and STEAM, and they also have a price drop post launch (digital). If you count second hand sales, the prices are even lower then both console and pc digital deals.
" For one thing, games on PC are cheaper "
Depends on what version of the games you are buying (retail or digital), and let's not forget console folk can buy second-hand games, that drop drastically in pricing 2-3 months after the launch.
If anything this gen, the prices are more-less the same if we take everything into consideration.
Even tho i disagree with the OP statement, i must point out there is no 'right' or 'wrong' when it comes to opinions.
Each person is entitled to have one, no matter how silly it may sound to you or me.
"Makes the PC redundant and pointless to buy as a gaming machine."
So the same price point for games makes a platform X redundant in comparison to platform Y?
I'm all for different opinions, but there are plenty of other factors aside from HW/SW prices that can determine the platforms value for the user.
Good question...
kevnb--- "You are using a strange straw man argument where you state that because a pirated game is usually released by one group only that it somehow cancels out all the damage used games do?"
Excuse me? Where and how did i state used games are not harming the industry? I'm just making an counterargument to your argument, where your stated that used games are MORE harmful then piracy. You can name one game that was influenced by second hand market, and i can ...
Xristo; Ofc both used games market and piracy are harmful. I was just pointing out why piracy is a bigger problem in comparison to used games market.
" I will argue to the death that used game sales are much more harmful then piracy. "
So if one person purchases a copy of a video game then it cracks it and puts it online for hundred-thousand people to download for FREE, it is less harmful in comparison when hundred-thousand people sell their PURCHASED copies of video games to other hundred-thousand people? Sorry i don't see a logic in that, and i know you will probably state that people who download pirated games hav...
Can't believe some people actually state that PC gaming is dying. It is just as silly as those "journalists" and "analysts" that keep stating that console gaming is dying for the last... 18 years.
By their current pace, i wouldn't be surprised if the game is finished and released for next gen consoles (2020+).
The negative thing about these award shows is that they even put Multiplayer ONLY games on the GOTY list in the first place , now some people would want those very same games to have GOTY candidacy on more than one year... Im all for different opinions and preferences, but this is simply ridiculous if this is where gaming and already ridiculus game awards is going.
ONESHOTV2---- "cool i get what you are saying but https://imgur.com/gLIN0LV "
Well, i did state people suffering from FPS and Resolution OCD are an exception ;)
ONESHOTV2---- " what PC game have you been playing that you say has a console equal ? "
Mind pointing out where i specifically stated that some games has (something?) equal on both PC and console ( im assuming you are referring to multiplat games graphics and not actual platform exclusives quality, since the latter is regarded as console strong point towards the PC).
If you are referring to graphics, i stated that most multiplat games SUBJECTIVELY don'...
