Broken game? How about Mortal Kombat X? Or Batman Arkham Knight?

PCs are far from always greener. apophis_dd stated that "Except that it's not being developed for a single architecture. It's being developed for two, three, four different platforms, unless the developer is too lazy and makes their game a console-specific exclusive." This is still much easier than multiple architectures for one platform.

Write a game for a Nvidia 980, it might not work on the 780; much less an AMD equivalent. Does the game need 4 dedicated cores? I guess Pentium and i3 users are out in the cold. 8 gigs of RAM or more needed? Not all PCs have that and studder as a result. It's the PC's greatest strength and biggest disadvantage- flexibility.

But as for adjusting the sensitivity on a gamepad maxed out to match the speed of a mouse, you lose precision big time. A mouse will be faster and/or more precise at the same time vs. any gamepad out there; and probably will be anytime in the near future. It's why RTS games do not translate well to console.

well lets see here.
the forza series, i don't know which ones are bone exclusive.
ps4 there is bloodborne and if you rent it that 18whatever game that's 3 hours
nintendo you have a mario kart, you got the new mario games, splatoon and bayonetta 2, and i heard good things about hyrule warriors.

have to be honest, i dont get consoles till a few years after they are out just due to their not being worthwhile games in the first few years and this cycle i pretty much don't even pay attention to it, but that has to say something that i know more nintendo exclusive games than any other systems.
