Cerny went aggressive putting in a v4 nvme drive in the PS5. Most game-able PCs are probably on v3. But that's still a huge upgrade from the sata HDD in the PS4. I really doubt that v3 vs v4 is make or break in current gen game performance. And anyway, I think it's appropriate that devs just give a recommended i/o rating same as they do ram. If your PS5 port really needs 5000MB/s read speed, then just say it's required.
It is actually incredible to have a library of games I can not only go back to, but in new ways. On handhelds, with graphical enhancements, with multiplayer mods, in VR...
This guy doesn't like gaming, he just hates playstation.
That tracks.
What does this have to do with your previously stated desire to have games release day and date with PC to maximise sales on PC? We have an example of that and what it does to a console platform. It's the Xbox, and it's about to be discontinued.
ask @adamsapple, he was vehemently saying it would happen.
Xbox's death spiral started sometime around 2013, long before they started doing PC ports. It sounds like PC game pass subscribers are increasingly the thing keeping Xbox alive. MS releasing their games on Steam is one of the only good things they've done in 10 years.
PC GP isn't keeping Xbox alive; it's putting more money in Microsoft's coffers. Two separate things. The Series X/S is tracking behind the Xbone, and is likely to finish below the original Xbox at 24 million by the time it's discontinued. If this doesn't tell you what an aggressively exclusive-free strategy--replete with their chief exec stating that games don't move hardware--does to a console, nothing will.
Folks be dreamin if they think dealing with the headache of releasing a game on PC these days is worth it. Plenty of devs besides Sony also delay their releases on PC like R* for example. R* probably knows a thing or too about selling games.
PC Gamepass is even less relevant than Xbox Gamepass, nobody wants to use that garbage MS store. PC gaming is pretty much synonym with Steam at this point and that is a good thing.

Your arguments live up to the “flaccid” portion of your name.
Exactly. This and the acquisition threads have convinced me some people live in a bizarro world where logic doesn't exist and they just force their feelings into what they present as facts.
A large part of it comes from people having no idea what the difference is between revenue and profit.
