Sorry if I pushed this thread OT in my previous posts (probably sounded too harsh but my honest opinion) but responding to this last post on the subject.
No offence but I would consider checking your sources because there’s very little truth in those first five paragraphs. Obvious anti-PS bs, couple of criticisms/issues spun into fictional stories re: massive problems and very little else.
Yet you continue to derail this thread even further just to shit all over my previous post.
"Obvious anti-PS BS," sure. I own three Sony consoles, and this is mostly from my own personal experience. You make it sound like I'm anti-Sony. I'm not. I'm against the stupid decisions they've been making since they decided to relocate their headquarters to California, and started bending to the SJW crowd's demands. Clearly you've been living under a rock if you're completely oblivious to this fact.
I wouldn’t bet on that unless I wanted to lose all my money.
I wouldn't bet on Nintendo winning any console wars any time soon, either. Doesn't mean they, or Microsoft, won't gain more players regardless.
You're comparing PlayStation (console) to PC.
Oh, so that makes their awful refund policy acceptable, then? Fine, let me refer you to Microsoft's policy on digital game purchases. They have the same 2-hour time limit on their games as Steam does, only with the caveat that you refund it within 14 days of purchase. They even have an automated system where you can refund it yourself. And this applies to both their consoles as well as Windows-side purchases.
P.S Console games are being ported to PC because they are built/developed on PC, compatible, it’s business and there is demand.
So PlayStation games like Horizon Zero Dawn were developed on PC, for release on PC? Interesting. Funny, then, how they had to spend close to half a year optimizing Horizon to release on the platform it was "developed on." Sounds iffy to me. Was NieR: Automata also developed on PCs? Look how well that game turned out. Not even playable without third-party fixes. Runs and looks fine on a PS4 Pro, though. The Final Fantasy XIII series would also like a word. All of those game were ported from code based on the PlayStation versions. The PS4 may share some similarities (x86 architecture, that's about it) but Xbox has the upper hand in that developing on a PC/for PC works out better for them due to coding similarities between the two platforms. At least from the Microsoft Store standpoint.
Obviously they aren't anti-consumer, because they need consumers to stay in business.
What you mean is they don't pander to all your entitled whims. It's like saying "I went food shopping and they are so anti consumer because they stock foods that I think taste bad."
If nintendo and sony don't make money then they will disappear and that would be really "anti-consumer". But it seems that a lot of people are happy with the taste.
No, you're clearly mis-reading into what I said. And needlessly being an ass about it, on top of things. What I mean is exactly what CPG said above:
they're literally encouraging piracy at this point.
