Here we go.
Original Tomb Raider on PS1 sold 4.63 million copies worldwide
Original Tomb Raider on PC sold 1.03 million copies worldwide
I'd say Playstation beats out the other platforms
Yeah, Playstation beats PC with its inferior hardware and monthly subscription lmao

The hype is building, I can't control myself
Nice lil' ME3MP article over on @shacknews! ME3MP still going strong! http://www.shacknews.com/article/89894/co-optimized-mass-effect-3/ …
^Practically confirmation right there
Hey, best not to let expectations get too high again. ![]()
I mean, I think they practically have to show something substantial at this point, but that's what people said about E3 2014, E3 2013, Gamescom, VGX, VGAs, PAX Prime, PAX East, PAX South, PAX Australia, GDC, SDCC...
You realize that the top shot has been intentionally blurred and washed out for effect, right? Here's a real comparison for future endeavors: 360 on top and maxed PC on bottom.
Spoiler
Nope this was sent by my friend via his xbox 360. I have no idea how he took the screenshot though. There is no way for me to "intentionally" wash the picture out
I gamed on his 360 Batman Arkham City... looked horrible anyway the Salarian is right this is not a console war / platform thread
P.S. The bottom PC picture you sent me is not "MAXED OUT" there is no "TRESS FX"

What are you talking about? Playstation has always had free online access. And aren't they comparing PS1 and PC? That's like the 90s. Tomb Raider didn't even have online play on any platform. It didn't even use Windows... that was on DOS.

No prob. I just had to get it off my chest. I don't care about console wars. It's just that someone mentioned Tomb Raider 1, and he's talking about subscriptions...

As a matter of fact it is quite interesting to be honest... I have no idea why console players needs to "pay to play online" sounds like a rip off to me. They bought the console, they bought the game yet the devs and manufacturers still charges them to go online.

That's Xbox Live, not Playstation.
I guess I'll say it's a better than PS to me though... You get what you pay for. I have more downtime issues on the Playstation.. and hackers seem to break through easier. There have been at least two major incidents. One awhile back that made quit using the PS for awhile, because the hackers stole a bunch of credit card numbers.
You also get a lot of free games with an Xbox Live subscription. Good ones too..

Console gaming just seems really expensive to me. Oh well.
It's been a good value since the Free "Games with Gold" thing came out. You pay $60 bucks a year (or monthly) - pretty much the price of one game - but I got a lot of free games last year.

Oh I know. I have a PC too... I'm typing on one ![]()
I used to be more of a PC gamer, but I just own laptops these days. So most of the stuff I get are isometric RPGs or strategy. And old stuff on GOG.
But yeah, PS3/PS4 can go online for free. They have a subscription service as well, but it's not about online functionality.
The whole free games with subscription thing is really nice until you don't feel like paying that subscription anymore, and then you can't play any of the games you got with it, also it's not great being at the whim of whoever is curating that stuff - going months without a single free game you want to play isn't a great experience. I'll take discounts and sales any day over that experience.

They have discounts and sales all the time too. It's not a bad deal really. Especially on the 360. The XOne doesn't have a big catalog yet, so the free games are kind of the arcade or indie variety (some are pretty good though).
Anyways, I try to get all of these platforms eventually, because it's just about games in the end. Eventually all the platforms have a lot of things worth playing.
Steam sale today?! Oh god, i already have a back log of shame..

servers are crashing. I'm getting Crysis 2 I want to burn my PC
Bottom line is, a PC is better for gaming without a doubt. Better graphics, better performance, mods, M+KB, cheaper games, more games, no subscriptions, most games have controller support and you can easily play on a TV. More expensive initially, but worth the benefits and cheaper in the long run if you're a serious gamer.
Just had to get that off my chest. Bring on the tweets!
