I disagree with Jim. Vita was better and had more variety.
Most reason to own PS4 over Xbox this gen was the superior Japanese support so your statement about them never asking for it is just garbage TBH
@ Remember
Xbox One's fate was decided the minute Sony announced the price and it did not block used games. XOS was a continuation of the One family while Series S is the start of a completely new console generation where third party developers have not outright selected which is the lead platform yet.
Do not underestimate the significance of the install base reset. The majority of consumers do not pledge alleigances to these corporations. People t...
Price is all too often the most important factor people put in. Look at the DS and PSP. Look at the Wii and the 360. Look at the 3DS and Vita.
Yeah the specs are lower but the trade off to the masses is often considered worth it because they care about their money more compared to the hardware. If you were here during the 360/PS3 era Foxhound you would know people on the internet are all too aware of how "persuasive" to casuals an American corporation with mon...
The developers will probably be singing a different tune when it flies off the shelves. Wether people like it or not that is extremely brilliant value and if MS have undercut Sony it does not matter anymore, their marketshare is in trouble.
It is clearly not going to be as one sided as PS4 was.

The developers themselves are not altogether innocent. Respawn's own community manager was cheerleading toxic behaviour from their own employees.
Dan Houser saw this coming and jumped ship.
Not stretching at all. For starters, Vita was not truthfully HD, it was only sub HD so that was one lie Sony told. Jack Tretton boasted a 'AAA first person shooter with seamless online connectivity' when talking about Black Ops Declassified. Every single multiplat apart from the original Sigma, looked appauling compared to it's PS3 counterpart, Borderlands 2 most notably. The only reason Sigma looked as good as it did was likely because it was a time when developers were still...
Vita was compatible with (at the time) high end mobile engines. That does not make it 'PS3 graphics'. PSP also had a Killzone game so getting Killzone does not make it match PS3. Which Vita game was it that looked as good as the Last of Us because I never saw it.
Sony seriously exagerrated what Vita was capable of and that is partially why it failed. See Xaevi you are doing a disservice to the PS3 because you do not seem to realise HOW AHEAD OF IT'S TIME PS3...
Not added any disagrees but I will give you the reason it sold well.
'Groundbreaking' is not limited to games alone. The vast majority of Switch's own games are Indies and niche Japanese games. It is the ports that make it groundbreaking.
Sony claimed Vita had the same graphical power as PS3 and the claim simply did not stick. Switch is the system to have built the bridge between home console and handheld and that is what makes it 'grou...
It will come down to the price at release. PS4 was built for two reasons
1. To generate profits
2. Get rid of proprietary architecture and be more accessible to developers.
PS5 is definitely not going to be the same price as PS4 because it is far more ambitious than PS4 was for the time.
People on Era are saying EA is not involved with the project. If Crytek control the publishing they might be willing to give Switch a chance.
The other possibility is EA have approved a port and are eating a hat. This is why software makers should never insult hardware makers. You never know where the gamers will go.
There is a major argument for the Cell though. Yeah it was hard to develop for but learning the system showed that PS3 was not "the same as 360" and while it naturally never reached the E3 2005 boasts Sony made it DID keep the promise that it was future proof. Blu Ray proved to be it's biggest asset and when developers learned the Cell the difference was clearly there.
Also, if Sony had the guts to stick with it PS4 could have been a beast and porting to X1 ...
As soon as the money comes rolling in they change their tune. Vita flopped without Sony giving it a real chance and they shifted Gravity Rush 2 to PS4. Luigi's Mansion 3 and Rabbids Kingdom Battle were at one point for Wii U. There was also a Wii U Metroid as well as the 3DS Samus Returns but that got cancelled and only the 3DS one came to pass.
They will develop for PC actively eventually. It is only a matter of time.
Regardless of wether people here like it, putting their games on PC hurts their hardware. Splitting your resources around 2 platforms has always proven bad because the companies tend to develop games accomodating multiple systems and there are actually cases where production has been thrown off such as L.A. Noire and the delayed western release of Final Fantasy XIII.
Multiplatform development is good for the company but has proven to hurt the quality. So if you are a pote...
Aliens Colonial Marines is a game where you travel to in game representations of the universe, introduced a new species of Alien, had planned story liberties to be taken and you could also play as the Aliens in multiplayer modes.
When you look at descriptions Colonial Marines does look like the best, its just it never went in the direction Randy was telling us all.
While this is a good thing that gamers who wanted PC versions get them I am highly concerned about the port begging this will create going forward. It is already annoying hearing it from Switch owners every time a game is announced. If Xbox owners start begging Sony or PS owners start begging Microsoft there is a new type of toxic culture as it evolves from fanboys listing exclusives to fanboys begging for ports.
There are not that many 'true' exclusives on Switch either. Fire Emblem Warriors is on New 3DS and most are Wii U ports. Nintendo went with smart phones because their target audience split between smart phones and dedicated handhelds.
And then you have people who cannot afford to buy other systems. Sadly some people have a difficult time understanding that restrictions with finances cause them to own one system.
There is a reason PS3 failed hard out the gate and people sided with 360 instead.
There were 12 titles from Sony at that launch including Uncharted, Wipeout, Little Deviants and Super Stardust. It is just a fact it was better. Stop using Vita's long term failure to undermine the launch lineup.
