The problem I do have is when you start sacrificing gameplay/functionality in order to make a generic gameplay experience for all platforms. I would feel exactly the same if they made a game with console in mind, slightly adapted things so it would fit better also on PC and kinda crappify control settings on my, what used to be console exclusive, experience.
That being said, if there is functionality that allows for cohesive gameplay no matter what platform you use and does not infringe upon content in the game (scrapping things because they don't work on controller or keypad etc) then good for that, more players.
Seriously there is nothing that consoles do better than PC. Consoles use to be great for splitscreen but hardly anything supports that anymore outside of Nintendo. For the most part I just run an emulator if I want to play a splitscreen game or I hook up my wii u
But, yeah.
People are always saying my PC's better and cheaper than a console, then go onto to say "I already had the controller, the OS and don't need a Blue ray drive" etc. Well yes if your not comparing like for like then yes, a PC will be cheaper.
I spent £1600 a year ago on my PC not including the £1000 on a monitor.
So when comparing the prices do not include the price of a monitor.
Also do not include the price of peripherals, since both PC and console can go with variety of those depending what player chooses.
Compare just the price of a BOX, both of PC and of console.
I think CPU + motherboard + graphics card for a 4K rig already is more expensive than PS4 Pro.
But, I haven't done enough research to really know.
