    As long as there are killer 1st party titles exclusive to a console platform, there’s a reason to buy one.

    Counterargument: some of us consider this kind of arbitrary BS a reason NOT to buy one.

    And that’s before you even consider the additional crap consoles pull, like Nintendo making the only way to back up your saves a fucking subscription service.

      Especially now that there are maybe 2 or 3 “killer apps” per the life cycle of a console at this point. Why would I pay $600 to buy a console, just for 3 exclusives?

      If there was an entire panel of awesome exclusives like back in the PS3/360 era, it would make more sense. But as it stands, the amount of good games on PC just dwarfs what’s on any console.
