You know I'm just trolling right? Don't take offence, you statement was just too much of a hyperbole I really can't pass that out.

Sony is in the business of making money.
More software sold, more money gained. People who game on consoles generally don't have big thumping PCs and or don't want to fuck around with PCs soooo it's not fishing out of the same pond.
If a game launches on both PS5 and PC guess what you lose.... Absolutely nothing.

Great no need to buy a PS5 if all games come to PC. This is great news.

This would bother me if I was 12 years old still fighting over video games on forums. Luckily at the age of 36 where I attempt to think like an adult most of the time this actually makes total sense in today's time and I look forward to their offerings in the future.

Sony doesn't need pc owners that buy a PS just for exclusive games. I bet Sony and Microsoft both will lose money with the next gen console. So imagine plenty of core gamers with a pc buying a PS5, only used disc exclusives and no PS Plus or 3rd party games. Porting the games to pc would be a better deal. Sony never made a single cent with me and i played most of their games.

True dat
Before this news drop in
I was considering PC + PS5 and Nintendo
Now il just stick with PC and Nintendo
And if 45 million other PS Plus subscribers gone and switching to PC then Sony will start to realize the mistake they made

I don't know, Nintendo is pretty old fashion, exclusives did them no good with the WiiU. Anyway even Nintendo had to cave in and start making mobile games.

Nintendo Wii U days are so far in the back now that it is irrelevant to talk about
Nintendo mistake with Wii U was in the naming making most people mistaking in as Wii pheriperal
The reality is Nintendo current system is outpacing PS4

I for one have no issue with this. Looking forward to replaying my Playstaion exclusives on more powerful hardware.
THE DUCK
voted poster of the decade by bots
Probably not completely true as they they incur more development costs, and they may lose some sales that they would have made on ps5, but likely still very worth it.
Even if they eat away at 20% of the ps5 sales, the extra pc sales coukd easily make the port worth the cost.
Of course the other risk, which has been mentioned, is that they lose buyers from the closed ecosystem that is thier console. But i assume they have done thier diligence and have run the numbers and still come out significantly ahead.
Of course to be fair, the people on this forum should be destroying them for the mere mention of developing a ps5 game mutiplatform, since they have spent the last 2 months evicerating ms for it. Strange, it doesnt seem to be happening.....

Youre looking at those Xbox One number that what will happen to PS5 if Sony following Xbox policy by putting their first party output on other system
I don't think Xbox One numbers are due to exclusives being on pc, I think it's because of lack of exclusives period. Microsoft really halfassed this generation, lack of motivation and interest and simply gave up and admitted defeat. Consumers are not stupid, they figured it out and also gave up on it, you reap what you sow, that's why I don't have much faith in them as a company. Regardless that's the real explanation for those numbers, that was also the WiiU mistake.
Edit: Oh and they both had shitty marketing, that also contributed to their failures.

They may have lost a few million sales because of Pc ports, but the main reason were the 100 bucks because of Kinect at the launch. They even had more exclusive games than Sony, but 100 bucks are 100 bucks.

What a stupid thing to be upset about.
You don't work for Sony or Microsoft, you're some loser consumer on a video game forum - just like I am.
Clearly their analysts have determined this is the way to go. More people playing their games is better, and gives them more ROI to make more games for you all.
We all win, dweebs.

As expected, and fully understandable. Making SP-only games means there's no DLC/MTX/Season Pass/GaaS etc. where the most profits actually are nowadays. And those games take 5-7 years to make, that's shitloads of dollars in salaries for the devs and especially execs that need to be returned first before any profit is made. Videogames are so expensive to make nowadays that sticking to just one platform makes little chance to make huge profit numbers, and after all it's all just a business, it's exactly about making huge money.
That's most likely what they want to achieve, but PC gamers will rather wait for ports than get a secondary device they've never been interested in, only to play games at 30FPS, consoles just don't have a selling point for PC crowd, which is performance. Not to mention that despite how some fans try to paint the 1st party games, there's nothing outstanding in them that would make the PC-only guys go "OMG, I need go get Playstation to play this game!". The adoption rate on PS4 alone shows how many people aren't interested in them despite already having the console, I personally know quite a bunch of people who have PS4 since day one and haven't played Sony 1st party exclusive till this day, and there's nothing that can be done to convince them to try them out, they're just not interested in them atcall and want to play nothing but GTA, Fifa, Assasin etc., I know it sounds crazy, but it is what it is, so let alone good luck trying to convince the PC crowd. MS tried to change the PC landscape with Play Anywhere initiative and their own Store/UWP games, but after some time they learned it's impossible to change 20-30yo habits, you want to make a profit on PC just release the game on Steam, and don't try/count anything more, that's thecway it goes. Sony is yet to learn their lessons, but they will eventually.

I wonder if God of War will hit PC. Corey (the director) has himself said many times he wants the game on PC, but it's not up to him. It's a great game, also finished it, so I do hope Corey get's to release it on PC. Corey seems to just love video games all around regardless of what device he...

Man if that list happens all we will need is a PC. Is a little strange Spiderman would be left out though. Seems almost too good to be true.
As for the PC running PS5 games this gen is going to be so interesting. Looking forward to things like Valhalla that gets released on everything both in performance terms and minimum/recommended spec wise.

Is she an insider? I clicked on her name but you have to be a member to see profile. Huge games for PC if so. Man, Sony tasted that Steam money and they want another hit or 20. Hell yeah!

If they do something like that, then that’s a moronic move of epic proportions on behalf of Sony especially for a brand new console. That will most likely make the PS5 look less appealing to most people.
Then again, I do have a strong feeling the Sony is going to royally screw up somewhere next generation. Things are just going too smooth for them right now and I think something will happen. This could be it, but we’ll see what happens.

Glad to see they're expanding to PC and not pushing a subscription service or cloud service. Good news all round.

A lot of craziness here as usual. It's about old PS4 games, it obviously doesn't change anything about PS5 or PS5 games. Those couldn't be ported to PC even if they wanted, due to the SSD and I/O system trouncing anything on PC.
Relax everybody, more money to Sony is a good thing.

TBH I don't care about most of the games on the list, but I can't wait to see the meltdowns that will happen once these are officially announced.

"We will EXPLORE expanding our 1st party titles to the PC platform, in order to promote further growth in our profitability"
Maybe this means they will check out how Horizon sales go, or are considering to put more 1st party games on PS Now. It doesn't confirm they will release more games on Steam/Epic.

Yes. And even taking this aside, the ever-growing development budgets make AAA single-player only titles more and more risky. Porting certain games for PC at a later stage makes recouping the costs and generating long-term profits much easier.
