    Sony is bringing PS Now to Windows PCs. Some PS3 and PS4 exclusives will be playable on PC. The service is expensive though.

    I could see this being worth it if there are a couple of exclusives you want to play but you don't own a PS3 or PS4. You could sign up for a month or two and play those games. I might do this if they bring Horizon Zero Dawn to PS Now.

    The catalog for PS Now is pretty decent. This will bring the Uncharted series, The Last of Us, Infamous Series, Killzone series, Ratchet & Clank series, and Red Dead Redemption to PC.

    With this and the way all of the Xbox One "exclusives" keep coming to PC (Gears of War 4, Rise of the Tomb Raider, Quantum Break), is there really still any debate about the PC being the king of platforms?

Sounds very good for PC-only gamers, but I think the fact that potentially getting games from the PS3 and/ or PS4 library makes PC "king of platforms" suggests Sony and their PlayStation brand are also doing quite well currently. This past month has been pretty sensational for them even in the midst of Nintendo launching a new machine and a goliath Zelda franchise GotY contender.
