Grand Tourismo 5(pc?)

[beanbandit]

Also: read my comment above your quote on how releasing it on a PC wont do much damage if any as its not a rival console

I agree, it probably won't do much, if any damage to Sony. If fact it would probably add more as it would be open to mods, its this reason that i feel Sony will want to keep it on their platforms and control the user content.

Anyway it would feel strange not playing this in the living room with a Dual Shock in hand!

use a g25 wheel plus you can use your dual shock pad on the pc i think

this, also that it will be a biiiig bread bin shifter. no-one is going to pick up a ps3 for it if they can play it on the pc, while lots (me) will get one if its the only way

i still dont see any mention of pc, what i see "other format?.... hmm.... pc?" no, its psp, thats the other format, the translation probably hasnt helped as im sure it has somewhere along the line, but mainly its the drooling gaming media

Yup, it's PSP - I've heard it mentioned before in the past, when they were trying to explain where the hell that version vanished too...they were trying to reassure it had not vanished, but had been put on the back burner... it would come soon after GT5, and have some ties to it.

but how many average joe people will have a pc capable of playing gt5p as well as having a ps3 to boot?

not many i imagine has a gaming rig and a ps3.

No way am i having a steering wheel set up in my living room, it was bad enough with the Steel Battalion set up, so it will be Dual Shock all the way for me

i dont understand, why would they need a ps3? thats the point - they no longer would need to get one.

so they rather spend 600-700 on a gaming rig?

The point he was making was: Say I already have a gaming PC, they release GT5 and I really want to play it, but it's not released for PC, so I go buy a PS3 and play. In the same situation but where it is released for PC, Sony loose out on a PS3 sale.

Although, that's probably a pretty rare situation tbh.

it is a rare situation hench why i said the average joe wont have such a privaledge. not many gamers even have a pc gaming rig. most people play games on a console mate.

look at cod4, did that effect console sales when it was out on the pc? HELL NO

There are about 10x as many PC gamers as there are current generation console gamers.

they would have sold a lot more of the ps3 version if it had only been released for the ps3

[j.o.s.h.1408]

Are you sure there are 10x of people with a "gaming" pc that can play todays games and decent settings? i very much doubt it.

Madduck: It would of effected sales of teh 360 as well so dont just say the ps3 as cod4 is a multiplat game mate that sold millions on both consoles

I'm talking about what most people play games on, as per your quote:

most people play games on a console mate

- which is wrong - most people play games on a PC.

As for 'today's' games, yes, most people are playing 'today's' games (well, not the ones that only came out today, because that's not very many) on their PCs.

send me a link to some stats please because i dont believe that more people have "gaming" pc's then consoles.

this is a first for me and still doesnt explain why cod4 WASNT effected by sales of pc version. i HIGHLY doubt that the average joe games on a pc(for recent games not old ones) rather then a 360/PS3.
