Nah. So they sell 110mil PS5's instread of 120mil, while also raking in hundreds of millions from game sales on PC.
Believe it or not, there are not tens of millions of PC gamers desperate for an excuse to buy a console.
Maybe in the near future, but in the distant future since Sony's primary income isn't Windows (it's PlayStation)? There wouldn't be a PlayStation anymore, there would be absolutely no incentive to buy a console, and those 120m PSx-number's in the future would be 0. They're killing their console business by migrating their games to PC, especially since they have to pay 30% to Steam and another percentage for other clients. What's the point, to turn those The Last of Us 2 20 million sales (analogy) into maybe 21-22 million sales? HZD sold 716,000 copies on Steam during its release MONTH, not day, with a 100 million+ concurrent user base.
If there aren't tens of millions of PC gamers desperately wanting a reason to buy a console, then Sony doesn't need to pander to them. The strategy is is if you want to play these PlayStation games then you need to buy into a console in order to play them. On the upside, porting the games still allows them to have that niche audience and exclusivity in some form, but there's no competition here, there's little to no gain, only an executive who wants to squeeze any amount of profit he can, no matter how small it is even though exclusives are what drive, say, NPD sales every single month. It's not sustainable for somebody who isn't Microsoft.
And who knows? I'm well aware that if they sell tens of millions of PC units for each of their "exclusive" games going forward and I'm wrong, then I don't lose anything and more people get to play the games. It'd be a win for everybody but for me right now I simply am not a fan of it.
