There have been a few dark periods in the past where games were a problem. Everytime its the developers fault not the fault of the PC. The difference is that Microsoft/Sony tests all games going out on the console so its harder for them to be released in a bad state, whereas on PC you get to release whatever you want in whatever state you want. Most of the time it goes well, occasionally it really messes up and its then searches for users with workarounds. But 95% of the time there is no need to do anything with a PC game but install, start and play.

I can name more games that never come to PC than games that do. Exclusives is why consoles sell

Is this list pre generation 7? If so, that's easy and that's what made those generations shine.

If you can do the same starting with generation 7, I'd be impressed.

EDIT: Just to add a monkey wrench, by which I mean games worth buying. If you start naming of things like Just Dance, High School Musical, and Ragging Rabbids, well then, phones have more games than consoles/PCs combined 😛

EDIT #3: Put bold on games with PC versions, and red for games with possible PC versions.

Have you even looked at the release lists for each system?

Wait, FIFA? This one? Warframe? Shoot, even Blacklight has PC version too. Let me google more on that list that aren't first party.

So you're naming a bunch of games that won't release until sometime 2014 as not ever having a PC version? I can understand the first party titles, but the 3rd party titles? Yeah, I predict 50-75% of them get a PC version closer to release or after release. It as an on going trend all of 7th generation and it will continue this generation.

Just checking each console's release catalog, you'll see more than half of the games have PC versions.

EDIT:
Also found PC versions on these games from your list:
Project Spark
The Crew
NBA2K14 [Although not sure if you meant Live 2K14, and I'm actually surprised Madden 25 doesn't have a PC version, yet 😉]
War Thunder
Daylight
The Witness
Transistor

So far half the list has a PC version, or a PC version is announced, or has been hinted at (MGS5)

I wouldn't be surprised to see Madden 25 and NBA Live 2k14 get PC versions too. So much for that nice list of Console exclusives, it's been pretty much whittled down to first party games since the start of Gen 7.

EDIT #2:
Well even FFXV might have a PC version:
http://www.gamespot.com/articles/square-enix-pc-version-of-final-fantasy-xv-undecided/1100-6410435/

I wouldn't be surprised of KH3 gets something similar. I know Square is using PCs for their lead platforms starting with Dues EX, releasing a PC version wouldn't be a stretch.

So your excuse is "oh we may get a PC veraion"? Screw that...I don't intend to sit on my ass hoping these companies grace me with a PC version of a game I want to play. Hinted at means zero, nothing. You may as well just expect not to have it cause by the time I am done playing it on ps4 I won't care about it on PC.

What are you talking about? I simply said starting with gen 7 what were once console only titles migrated to PC and this trend will continue.

For starters, some of the games in the list you provided as "console only" already have PC versions you can play NOW, the other half have day and date releases with Console versions. There are only two titles in that list I said the developers said a PC version is possible (MGS 5 is in the works, and FFXV will depend on public demand) but both those games don't even have release dates yet. It isn't farfetch to think by the time they do get release dates they also get PC versions to accompany them.

The only ones on that list I was surprised currently don't have a PC version hinted at are Madden 25 and NBA Live 2K14.

Relax, I'm not saying consoles are useless, first party titles will never see releases outside their platform, more so with 7th generation the list of console only games has decreased and with gen 8 it will decrease even more.

Can you just list the fun ones? All I am seeing here is QTE loaded games, JRPG yawnfests and rehash engine games.

How am I being stupid? My 360/PS3/Wii collection is smaller than my Xbox/PS2/GC collection, and it's already looking like my PS4/Xbone/WiiU collection is going to be even smaller.

Castlevania 2 is coming out for PC same day as consoles. When have you ever seen a Castlevania game come out on PC same day?

Which version are you going to be buying?

I played BF4 on ps3 last night and man it looked like shit playing it online. These consoles couldnt of came at a better time. Ive seen a lot of bf4 next gen footage and when we fired it up last night I was pretty upset with the current gen version.

Yep I cannot wait...about 12 days.
 
This week will go so slow. Good thing I have some training classes at work next week until Thursday. I love how we can take classes in something that interests us and they usually last all day, will probably try and leave early to go to target next Tuesday.

BF4 is for PC, and your rig is gold for it 🙂

PS4/XB1 are for Madden, Killzone, Forza, Halo, Gears, that kind of thing 😉

Use the right tool for the job!

Players of BF games are far better on PC anyway, I played the 360 BF3 and the quality of players was abominable. I'm an adequate player, but I shouldn't be going 71-1 just rolling a tank and sometimes knifing people. The reverse is true of CoD games, all the talent is on the consoles there. (which might explain why everyone playing BF on console was so terrible, they were trying to play it like it was CoD, lol)

Oh of course. I have bf4 on PC now. I just mean I am ready for the switch to ps4 and xb1. It has been far too long.
 
LOL! Remember when Sony was promising that the PS3 would have dual HDMI, dual Gigabit Ethernet, and 1080p in ALL games?! 7 years and a hardware generation later and they still can't even deliver on the 1080p target. 😀

Yea but it's at a solid 60fps and you need a decent rig to be able to maintain BF4 @ rocksolid 1080p60.
