Nvidia: Gamers should not limit their options to PS4/XB1; PC is the way to go

And cost.org
I don't understand individuals who champion next gen console gaming and turn a blind eye to PC gaming, and vice versa.
Why not, like, just enjoy both. I'm planning on getting EVERYTHING. I love video games too much to miss out on hits because of some exclusivity boner that I could be packing.

PCs are cheaper in the long run after high initial upfront cost. Free online and much cheaper games ensure that. You can basically always find a new release PC game selling 10-20$ (sometimes more!) off MSRP.
X1 with 6 years of XBLG = 860$, which is roughly what you can buy a really good PC with

Hey Nvidia, get your heads out of your asses! It's video games for crying out loud!
Nobody should give a damn what you play on because there are far more important things in the world than which corporations you support!
It's all about managing your wallet and time that's it.
PC is all about power but what about Japanese games and their players who like to play on the move?

90% of the time these threads are based on answers they gave in response to interview questions. They always answer more or less truthfully. The only "salt" (as people so often make mention of) here is the people complaining about them. In this case they have launched a range of small form factor PCs, so of course they are going to ask you to consider buying them. They're not even just pimping their own stuff either, but small PCs in general.
It is when you factor in that it's only more expensive upfront, and as the gen goes on it'll eventually be a cheaper investment vs the PS4 or xbone.

Not that I support Nvidias approach here, but you can remote access your gaming rig from any mobile device.
That, and it isn't like the Japanese market is all that strong right now. But we do have Ys!
well I edited that comment because of how narrow minded it is, but yes. It is. If you want to play these games on PC, you gotta be committed to the price. It's all my opinion, but again; it's a narrow minded on.
Consumers don't see that. I guarantee you, by the end of this gen, I'd spend much less than a PS4/Xbone owner will spend by the time I get rid of my gaming laptop and get a proper gaming PC.
PS+ is a joke compared to PC gaming. $50 a year for game rentals and an online paywall? lol fuck out of here.

If that service gets more Steam like sales then it would become godly but at this point it's just very good. Young grasshopper and all that...
So Crysis remote play? Can you show me?
Thank you. Also how unnatural is it to try promoting your own products even indirectly ? It s not.
Salt isn t compatible with truth, you can t be salty by telling the truth.

True, but they know they hold a bigger share in the PC market than their competition, literally and through consumer awareness, so to them there's a decent chance a consumer going PC would choose to go with an Nvidia product.

If I had left my gaming rig on I could have done so. You can get creative and make your own cloud gaming service. OnLive isn't some proprietary crap you can't do on a regular device.
Most of the games i play are consoles exlcusives, like JRPGs, Zelda, Demons Souls, Ni no Kuni, Fable etc
Most PC only games i care about are Kickstarter titles and 2D adventures, this will play on my non gaming PC fine
So, for me only consoles are something i cosider to buy, my PC just exists and will play what i cant play on my PS4/xbox one/3DS

I don't really see how saying that PCs are far superior to any console when it comes to "gaming" is being truthful. Sounds more like an opinion dressed as a fact in the name of PR.

No thanks. I'm done with all the bullshit involved. I know it has better performance and better looking games, but still. No thanks.

How about everyone can figure out what they want, nvidia?

Understandable, but AMD are in a stronger position at this moment of time in terms of partnerships with Sony and Microsoft. Nvidia are indeed releasing high powered graphics cards, however the price seems to be a huge deciding factor for gamers.
One thing is for sure, if Nvidia can offer me all console exclusives and JRPGs on PC, will buy one of their top end cards
Until then the only way i would limit my gaming is by upgrading with some top end video card, instead of just buying PS4 for multipltforms and using my old PC for PC exclusives i want to experience and getting all consoles for their exclusives eventually

Exactly. Everyone knows if you want power you game on PC, so this constant repetition just makes them seem really insecure. Since the difference is so big, let it be self-evident. Doing this just reminds me of the "master race" people who constantly port-beg for console games.
And they don't seem to realize that a lot of people don't want to game on PCs, and that's perfectly valid as well.
You can be my wingman anytime.
That would be Valve's focus at the moment. Big Picture Mode is shaping up quite nicely.
Good thing Nvidia makes cheaper products too and aren't the only GPU manufacturer.
Worst idea ever.

You don't want direct to PC ports? But that would encourage even more collaboration between console and PC developers!
Highly disagree. I've not paid more than $37.50 for a preorder on a PC game in years, and a lot of the time I'll hold off 6 months and get that game that was just retailing for $60 on consoles for $15 or less on a good steal sale. This isn't even factoring in the loads of free games I've recieved just for placing a damned preorder in the first place, or humble bundles where you can get 5-8 AAA titles for ~6$.
As a PC gamer you simply pay less for games vs a console gamer. Why? Competition of an open market vs a closed one on consoles, lower overhead in general. That last bit is particularly important to understand as it's long been rumored that Valve takes 1/3 of the sales' price on steam whereas on retail pubs/devs only earn back roughly a 1/3 of the list price. This means that at a discounted $40 release (like Dark Souls) on PC earns pubs/devs /more/ per sale than a $60 retail AAA game on the console front.
Being a PC gamer is simply more economical for everyone, period, and that's why we see better prices.
Games will still do their own thing, though. Lots of games done even support a controller.

I tried to do that this gen. Came to the conlusion that PC Gaming is just not for me.
I see the appeal, but it's just not my kinda thing.
I don't have a lot of time to game, so testing performance, updating drivers and troubleshooting are all things I prefer to avoid.
In that sense, console gaming was made for me. Even if it is a little more expensive in the long run.
You just insert the disc and play. If there's an update it installs automatically, and I can be sure that my game is running just as the developer intended.

Looks more like bargaining phase to me

I don't know about you but I don't game on my PC for 6 years without any upgrade. Also, I can get 5 years worth of PS+ today for $150 and many games on PS360 cheaper than $20 a pop. That doesn't count free games that Sony will be giving away for PS+ subscriber.
