As Andrew House explained, data has shown that console gamers tend to move into the greener pastures of PC gaming halfway through the lifecycle of their preferred console. A system tends to peak three to four years into its life, and this is usually when some console gamers decide to get into PC gaming. Since this is the case, Sony believes releasing a mid-gen upgrade will keep people on PS4 and off of PC.
Sony may be trying to compete with PC in terms of keeping users on its system, but when it comes to graphics and other factors, the PS4 Pro isn’t even on the same playing field.
Epic Games Publishing and developer AQUIRIS will release Horizon Chase 2 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One on May 30, the companies announced.
Stepping into the shoes of King Eryk, you’ll deal with petitioners, allies and the prospect of war, while managing the resources available.
Ronin versus the monsters - that's the premise of Musashi vs Cthulhu as it releases on PC and console
Sure it can compete with a gaming PC, and I say that as owner of a $2k machine and a PS4.
Can it compete with the price? Of course.
Can it compete with the controls? Of course
Can it compete with the graphics? No, not even with HDR and not with the PS4 Pro either.
Can it compete with the big amount of games that are available on PC? Not really, but at the same time you have still a lot games being exclusive on Playstation, so it depends completely on your gaming preferences.
And graphics are often damn similar..due to the games being not optimized for PC's and programmed to look similar as on Playstation and Xbox there. The big time of the totally superiour PC versions is over since around 10 years now.
Of course it can, the main reason the Xbox was created was because Microsoft feared Sony would take majority of PC gamers. Consoles will still get majority of the attention from devs and publishers.
It's not going to convert the guys who routinely drop $500 or more on just a GPU.
But for the other 80% of the PC market who isn't invested in the latest expensive tech, it offers an interesting value proposition
...And I and many others don't give one flying f#%K!
