Yeah, not touching that.Originally Posted by Del Murder
I could probably understand this point of view maybe even ten years ago, but no so much now. Maybe if Nintendo was a bit less concerned with constantly reliving their greatest hits from the 2D and N64 eras or if Square wasn't spending 5+ years making some of the worst RPG's I've ever played, but as is? Those companies aren't giving me a lot of reason to give a crap about their releases and haven't been for a long time.Furthermore, the console exclusives are much more enticing to me as a gamer than PC exclusives. You don't get Mario, Zelda, and FF on PC.
I also just don't see AAA exclusives being a thing beyond first party developers much longer. Sure, you'll still be able to count on Nintendo to rehash the same series every couple of years, Sony and it's subsidiaries to release an Uncharted, Gran Turismo, Little Big Planet or some other new series, and Microsoft to release... a new Halo I guess, but most companies can't afford to stay exclusive in the world of ballooning budgets. And with the news that the PS4 is basically going to be a cheap PC, there's going to be less effort required than ever to just port a game to all platforms.
Except the Wii U of course since it's basically a generation behind again.
