No ****, sherlock. Why would I buy a PS4 when I have a much stronger PC? To play the exclusives.
A better question is, why would anyone listen to Pachter?
There are a lot of people that only play console (me), if PS4 consisted of only Sony exclusives and a small smattering of 3rd party games, I wouldn't buy it.
People will defend Nintendo till the bitter end, but they deserve every bit of the hardships they're going through with the Wii U.
1) Stupid, confusing name.
2) Billions in the bank, yet they don't spend money on strong marketing
3) Didn't listen to 3rd parties wishes when building the machine, severely underpowered for next-gen games
4) Large part of the BOM for the console on a controller with questionable benefits...
5) ...due to a dearth of software that takes innovative advantage of this controller
6) Still no online account system / poor online plan overall
I still have a soft spot for Nintendo as they are undoubtedly the greatest developer of all time (when they actually try), but I don't see what they bring to console hardware that is so special. People will argue that they should continue to make consoles because of their gimmicky controllers, but what is the point if no developers truly take advantage of their unique hardware due to poor sales? Unique controllers are only as good as the compelling software that truly showcases it. Would people really be upset if Nintendo went 3rd party for PS4 and/or Xbox One and periodically released unique controllers for these platforms along with their own games to take advantage of them? Is there any reason for Nintendo to still be in the hardware business when it's their software that is far more desirable to the mass market than their hardware? Why is this option off the table for so many Nintendo fans? And don't say "Look at what happened to Sega", there's a world of difference between Nintendo and Sega.
