I wonder just how many people are thinking this exact same thing. Really, with the PS4 and X1 architecture being so similar to PC architecture, any game that isn't made by 1st or 2nd parties is bound to show up on PC at some point in time.  Where's the incentive to buy consoles then?

We won't see any graphical difference at all between X1 and PS4. These are the two most similar consoles we have ever had, much moreso than PS3 and 360 or any of the old generations. Its like you have two consoles of the EXACT same design for the most part, just with different brands on the shell and a different menu interface.

Even the controllers are much more similar than ever before.

One good thing is that X1 has been made to run continuously for 10 years. They made the case extra big with an extra large extra quiet fan to cool everything. Wii U is cold as ice even after hours of play too.

Okay, PC gamers. Maybe one of you can explain this one for me? So I wanted to play Geometry Wars on my laptop today, but it was missing. Not only that but Steam and every Steam game I had installed are gone too! I did NOT uninstall anything! Now I have to download everything again. Also, when I re-installed Steam just now, I had to authorize my laptop as a "new computer" again. WTF?   

Carmack elaborates upon his Wii U, 3DS, Vita statements:

"I always thought that the Wii U and Vita would be great targets for Doom 3: BFG Edition. We should be able to bring that over directly, but [the platforms have] generated nothing for us on the publishing side of things, because they're somewhat marginalized platforms. Clearly there's a difference on the handheld platforms. While the 3DS is doing okay, the Vita's really not doing particularly well.

A lot of that has to come from the fact that [...] everybody is carrying a pretty good gaming platform already, and selling a new one to them is a little bit of a harder sell. I'd love to be able to develop on the 3DS and some of the other small platforms. I'd like to see the games show up on the Vita or the Wii U, just to play with some of the characteristics they've got there, but it's extremely unlikely to happen. There's a finite amount of time and only so many things we can focus on." - John Carmack
