Microsoft, it's not the price that is the problem......

Sony are no less the villain as a result.

You guys realize that there are some ppl that play games like WOW but don't have a Steam account or any other such like game but don't have a Steam account.

Then you guys keep talking about how "active accounts" means the Steam numbers are fluffed, but you're not even considering that the same could be said about Xbox accounts or Playstation accounts.

Bunch of knuckleheads you are.

@Fatal....you are being very biased by singling out Sony. Both companies do it. Does the new Tomb Raider ring a bell?

Do you really think there is this great conspiracy against MS and the X1?

Quite honestly, the game devs are more to blame because they are the ones ultimately making the decision for the game's exclusivity.

Well I have to. I got piece of junk laptop. It a only got 4GB of RAM. It has a single core cpu. And the only thing can be upgrade is HDD and RAM.

You aren't going to be doing any brand new gaming but there is a wealth of classic titles, from
both PC and old consoles, that could be played on your laptop.

Games don't stop being good just because they weren't released inside the last two years.

@DocHolliday

The cost of PC gaming is often just the cost of a video card, which is way below the cost of a console, because many already have a PC with a decent CPU. Even if a new PC was bought, it's not WAY over. You can spend a lot more, but you don't have to anymore.

Then
add in the price of a new PSU because the graphics card requires more power than the PCI Express slot can provide.

Even if it is one that can draw from only the PCI Express slot, then the cheap PSUs they put in prebuild PCs would still struggle to provide for the whole unit.

There is no point in just buying a new graphics card if you first don't make sure your PC is going to be able to power it.

When does next gen development actually happen? I don't mean just porting over a last gen game and wiping a 1080p/60fps cloth over it......I mean when deveolopers make actual new games specifically made for the new gen hardware, the sort of thing that would
not be possible on last gen hardware.

'Arkham Knight', which originally was slated for an October 2014 release and got pushed back to June 2015, won't be made available for "last gen hardware" but unfortunately for ONE users (and us PC Players!) SONY has secured exclusive content yet again for
this storied franchise and if this same strategy holds true for 'Knight' as it did with 'Asylum' & 'Origins', these exclusives are not of the "timed" variety and are of high quality. The exclusive playable Joker for 'Asylum' was the only time that I ever
considered buying a PlayStation but at the end of the day I still couldn't get past the idea of using that clumsy controller of theirs.



Another unfortunate reality of this highly anticipated release being "next gen only" for console users (regardless of their preference) is that they can't play the entire RockSteady trilogy on one console. You're correct in that "it's not the price that's
the problem", backwards compatibility should've been made a top priority in the original designs for these consoles and instead it was dispensed with immediately. Backwards Compatibility WAS a priority for BOTH the 360 & PS3 when they first launched which
is why they were able to look ahead and abandon the "last gen hardware" pretty much from launch day.



Not only are players being forced to play the final installment of this Great Trilogy on another machine, but they have to use a different controller as well. I'm most thankful that I'll be able to continue to play ALL these great games at full "next gen"
settings on the same PC with the same 360 controller...
