Even outside of the whole "PC doesn't get exclusives if you discount all these games", the entire sentence was just dumb. There are plenty of PC exclusives that aren't always online. I don't get how that's even an argument.
You're not getting shit like in the heydays of Bethesda and Blizzard, like big companies who specifically were targeting PCs. Even smaller ones like Piranha Bytes is releasing their games on consoles now.
Neither is Sony or Xbox. The very nature of a PC means that the amount of exclusives it has blows consoles out of the water. Your entire argument of PlayStation "converting" people who play on PC is so unbelievably stupid, because it implies that this shit is a zero sum game, as if someone on PC couldn't also own a PlayStation, Xbox or Switch for certain games, as they have for years and years. Only console fanboys have that mentality.
Honestly I just think of it as a way that consoles allow me to still buy physical editions of PC games since Valve took over and made disc drives go extinct.
But the Chinese market is not PC its Phone games/mobile Devices. PC is not really entrenched when its a minority in the market.
The 4x genre is still majority PC, also Grand Strategy. Hell you Dyson Sphere Program sold 1.7 million copies in just 9 months and its just an Early access game made by a small team. And then there is Bannerlord 2 and Satisfactory. There is a lot more exclusives on PC vs Console, so yes it was a stupid take.
Early Access stuff I usually avoid because it's unfinished. Fucking Ark was in early access for years and they just shitted up the game the more time went on.
Sony has been actively backing games in China though and then getting them distributed globally for years at this point.
And what does that have to do with Nintento Switch being the fastest selling console in China?
Sreenshoting this post for when Sony eventually gives their new console a "faggy" name.
Then let's quote the whole post:
It's because people who buy gaming PCs don't tend to buy consoles, and vice versa. They can sell games to people who wouldn't normally buy them, because they wouldn't buy a PlayStation in the first place. Why spend $600 on a dedicated game system just for a handful of games, that also cannot access your Steam library?
Man, that last statement shows you've got a bare ass when it comes to the market outside of the Americas and Japan. Consoles are the exception, not the norm, in the rest of the world. How do you think games are made? Games have always seen releases for personal computers since the beginning, because that's what you make them on. Even NES games were often made using Apple IIs. Tetris was made on a computer I've never heard of before, because it was a Soviet-made machine that never left the USSR (that supported floating point numbers, whereas the NES' 2A0x didn't, lol). People will game on what they have.
Not that he ever will.
Oh no I'm not wrong
A lot of console games end up ported to PC anyway, so do exclusives really matter anymore?
Kind of yes, especially when it comes to being tentpole titles. And to this day it still works a means of introducing smaller genres to a wider audience.
What PC player will just outright convert to console? Not HAVE a console, but migrate TO a console.
Well you just had the instance of people's cards not being able to run elden ring, so they went out and bought a console and a game because it was cheaper than buying a new card.
an Xbox Series S because that's still all that you can find
It's really telling that Microsoft decided to make that one the limited edition, they couldn't even spare a series X
