>PS4 is also a closed ecosystem, far more so than PC gaming on Windows?

Baby steps. I don't own a PS4 anyway, but I'm so tired of discussing Windows with people who whine about losing their games that I feel the need to specify an out.

"Just use Linux."

"Well, maybe I would, but this program I use frequently is not available on Linux."

"So? You shouldn't want to use that anyway."

With a sales pitch like this I can't believe the Year of the Linux Desktop hasn't come to fruition yet.
