you mean to tell me that 4 platforms, combined, have more players than 1 on its own? you don't say!
-
PS3 and PS4 have more players than PC. PC won't have to split their playerbase.

they are both playstaion you fool mac and pc? they are different and are still together they still have less lol kid
-
[quote]they are both playstaion you fool[/quote]well, yes, but ps3 doesn't play ps4 games, and ps4 doesn't play ps3 games, so you can't count them as one. [quote]mac and pc? they are different and are still together[/quote]battlefield 4 is not on mac, only pc.

So PC gaming should stand by itself, and all the consoles should stand together? That's not very fair when comparing popularity. It's just one platform out of many, as is every console.
-
The point is that there's more console gamers than PC gamers. But PC is more popular than any other individual platform...
-
There's not some magical divide between consoles and PC. Sure, they are fundamentally different, in that the PC market is more open and everyone has different hardware. But as a platform it should be judged on the same term as every other. And it is [i]the[/i] most popular. You can't defend the consoles by grouping them together.
-
Yes you can and I just did. Deal with it 8|
-
By that logic the PS3 is terrible because the PS4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One together has more players. They are all individual platforms, and should be judged as such. Seeing as how PS players and Xbox players are constantly at each other's throats, they don't want to be seen as one group anyway. No matter how you look at it, PC as a platform is clearly in the lead. Of course the other platforms will have more players if you group them together, but that doesn't mean they're more popular. Each of those platforms still have less users.
-
Your logic doesn't work because the thread is about console vs pc. If you want to divide the consoles up into their four different subsets, then how about you divide the pc gamers into who has a nvidia vs an amd, who has a laptop vs a desktop, who has 8gb of ram vs 16gb, etc... If you want to portray pc gamers as a unified force then you can not deny the same treatment to console gamers.
-
A person who has a NVIDA graphics card and a person who has a AMD graphics card can still play the same version of the same game, and be a part of the same community. Does that apply to Xbox and Playstation as well, or are they closed, completely separate systems?
-
Depending on the power of their hardware no they can't. Someone who plays Minecraft on a cheap laptop can't play BF4 at max settings but someone with a powerful desktop can. Yet you still try to group them into the same category. But then you try to separate the consoles, especially the PS4 and XB1, that have extremely similar hardware and through multiplat releases have largely the exact same games libraries. I don't see the logic in that, do you?
-
The PC community is more diverse, sure. But it's still one community, one echo system. The consoles are separated, not united. I'm just saying it's unfair grouping them together, since they are in fact not one and the same.
-
PC are not "one and the same" either. This is nothing but the roundabout logic of "my community is diverse not separated", even though half of those who use PC's can't play with the other half because of hardware requirements. If anything I'd say PC users are far more separated then console users. There are only 4 (6 if we count the Wii and Wii U) separations in the console community, while there are at the very least dozens of different separations in the PC community.
-
You forget that these stats come from one game, where the community clearly wouldn't be separated. If they where, they wouldn't be able to play Battlefield together. This is just one of the "separated" parts of the community, which [i]still[/i] is in the lead. Bringing in every one, including those who only play indie games on laptops, [i]would[/i] be unfair. But that's clearly not the case here.

Editado por HUNTERxKILLER: 5/2/2014 6:14:01 AMI'm wasn't talking about the game stats before. I'm talking about PC and console gaming as a whole. Whats unfair though, in regards to the stats, is to pick out the largest single group, and somehow declare that group the winner. What I see with the stats is PC gaming getting outpaced by console gaming at a nearly 2:1 ratio on a game series that has always been championed as a high-end "pc first" title. Sure China may look like it has a majority of population when compared to only one other country, say the US, but when you put all the stats out in the air it has less than 1/6 of the world's population. The ratio for PC gaming isn't as extreme as that, but the logic is the same.
-
Well, we were talking about the game stats before you came in. Did you look at the discussion, or did you just respond to a comment out of context? manwith originally said that the total numbers of players that the consoles had together was higher, which is unfair since both PC and consoles are just platforms. PC is clearly "in the lead". The point of this entire thread was to prove that PC gaming isn't dying. It is the most popular platform according to the Battlefield stars, it doesn't matter that it isn't in absolute majority on its own. I feel like we've discussed everything we can discuss. My opinion is that we shouldn't lump any platforms together when comparing user bases, as they all should be compared separately. I'm not going to change my opinion, and I guess you won't change yours. Let's just agree to disagree.
-
Fine by me then. We both have our own opinions on this.

The PS3 is terrible.
