Im all for cross platform play.... on multi plat games but there should still be exclusives for each platform. Som pc games just would not work on console..... and some console games should stay on consoles.
I like consoles due to the level playing field. Everyones resoloution and framerate is the same. Everyone is using a controller.....everyone has the same draw distances.
The minute crossplay happens on shooters between console and pc its game over for console owners. You would have no chance against mouse.
There will always be those that cant afford a gaming PC and want the simplicity of a console, so there will be plenty of reason to get the next one.
Also, this is not "cross-play". This is just more games coming to another platform. Being able to have the choice of whether to play Forza on xbone or PC. I have a PC, I dont have an xbox so this suits me fine. I don't want to buy an xbox to play games with inferior graphics and low frame rates.
Exclusives do nothing good for anyone. It hurts the consumers, and it gives devs a bad rep for taking huge bungs to limit their target market.
I'm curious. Name a console game that wouldnt work on PC? Seeing as PC's can use both ps4 and xbox controllers. Not to mention any other controller you like.
