45% of Playstation fans considering switching to PC gaming

[Redaktion]

A survey has found that 41% of PlayStation fans are seriously considering switching to PC. The shift appears to a result of Sony's retreat from physical games, weakening exclusivity, rising game and hardware prices, and the growing accessibility and value of PC gaming.

PC may sell most of it's games digitally, but at least there is competition and decent sales! Sony's PS storefront is terrible! Prices are rarely reasonable, and even older games are still relatively pricey! You can compare games quite easily for yourself. Check out a reatively new (6months or so) game on both and i'd like to bet the pc version is considerably cheaper. Plus, you don't normally have to pay for online play!

Yes PC is fully digital, but if sony takes away physical games, there really is not point of having a PlayStation. No used games since they'll be digital only, sony will have a complete monopoly on them so expect prices to rarely drop, and no $80 subscription to play online, which will probably increase in price soon. So yeah it doesn't make sense to have a digital only console when PC is much better.

I have both PC and playstation.
I'll continue to support japanese console for a simple reason, with my play I start playing exactly when I switch on the console, without waiting for steam's hateable updates. When I want to play with my PC I have to wait a whole day of games updates, because you must run the latest version otherwise you can't Play...
Go playstation go!

Doesn't take that long to update games. Download speeds are the same, in some cases. PC wins there too though. You don't need to update the game either...that is flat out lies. Sony/PlayStation/Crunchyroll are a plague on true creative freedom.

Most importantly there's multiple store fronts including drm free games...so you can actually own a game.
