Isn't it dumb that Top Spin 4 will not come out for the PC?

[o Sinna o]

Ok first of all, let's look at important Points.

Top Spin 4 could be one of the greates Sportgames, and ofcourse the best Tennis Simulation for many months until the next Part or the next big other Tennis Simulation comes out.

Top Spin 4 will have real Esports-Qualities. I mean ok, until now we don't know anything about the final Version but all past Parts had real Esports-Qualities so I see no Reason why TS 4 shouldn't.

The next Point. On which Plattform Esports grew up and has the biggest Support with the best Leagues? Right on the damn PC where many of us high Level Top Spin Players could find a Place in a real good organized Esports Clan. I do not only mean a fun Clan, I am thinking on the big ones, on real Pro Gaming Clans. And if I think about important Leagues where it really goes about something, not only a fun League like the ITST, I have to call the ESL so called Electronic Sports League where alle the big Guys playing in many different Games.

So why the hack are the Developers of Top Spin 4 don't think about all the important Points I have written? Or why will they only bring it out for the Consoles? That's a lil bit dumb if you ask me. Top Spin 4 could become a much bigger Name in the Scene if they would bringt it out for PC too.

What do you Guys think about that?

[Elargento]

there is too much piracy in pc.

[emate007]

Yeah, piracy and a smaller market of people who buy sports games.

[Chederer]

well just like TopSpin 3 was not released on PC neither will TopSpin 4...i am sure this was taken into consideration after the dismal amount of copies sold of TopSpin 2 for the PC

Yeah that could be right.

But because some of you said there are not enough Consumers on the PC for Sportgames. A Game like Pro Evolution Soccer plays an important part on the PC too. I know the Consoles sellling the most Games, but all the big Esports Communities are for the PC.

Sickbo,

I agree with you man. It's crazy that we have to really on indie tennis games. Although they are great (especially Full Aces Tennis Simulator), I would like to see a release by top gaming industry from time-to-time.

Like what was stated, many people pirate the games. So, the company does not get their full compensation for all the hard-work they put into the game.

That just makes it bad for the rest of us PC-owners.

[GOA MASTER MDMA]

i think not that it had to do that PC gamers pirate the games.

you can make from every pc game illegalcopies ,not only from tennisgames

it have other points why it not got released on PC.

[SlicerITST]

Well its part of the problem but your right GOA. The target audience for tennis games on the PC is just to small. And they are usually not the people that have good enough PC's to play a high end game. They are more casual gamers.

All the tennis games that have been released for the PC in the last years have sold very poorly (even TS1). There is no money to be made on the PC for 2K.

[GOA MASTER MDMA]

i agree completly with you .
also to pirate games on PC is for sure a part -but not the main point .

tennisgames on PC are simple not rentable enough for the puplisher in generell .

sportgames exist on PC at all, but allways only the topsellers like FIFA and pro evolution soccer series (in europe)

[SlicerITST]

And i think its pretty strange. Football popularity is mainly based in Europe and South America. American Football, Basketball and Ice Hockey mainly in North America. Tennis its popularity is a lot broader. But the first sports have succesfull game franchises on the PC but tennis not.

[Q. Reese]

A huge let down was Virtua Tennis 2009. That was a huge shocker for PC'ers.

[GOA MASTER MDMA]

a HUGE let down FOR ME was SUPER MARIO TENNIS on xbox360
that was a huge shocker for all xbox360 consoleros -

[Q. Reese]

I am looking for the Xbox360 version of this game. I am not finding anything online. I know about the Wii version already (which is coming up more on Google).

The only one I am coming across is Sega Superstars Tennis for Xbox 360.
