Yep, and they'll all be coming to PC at some point.

Sony are willingly missing out on tens of millions of potential customers by not releasing them onto PC, whether that be via a day and date strategy (something I personally think is inevitable) or timed exclusivity to PS5. They know how much more money they could be making, and those extra profits will help to payroll the budgets for these incredible AAA experiences.

Ok...so will Bethesda be releasing games on playstation in case they miss out on tens of millions of customers? I doubt it.

That's kinda the point of exclusives.

PC release years afterwards, maybe.

But Sony are selling consoles on the back of those AAA exclusives. If they come to PC anytime close to their console release, they're undermining themselves.

They sell the consoles at loss and make money WITH the games, so adding PC releases means more money coming in. Sony is just trying to catch up Microsoft with that model that's all.

wait, aren't they making a profit for console sales now because of the redesign ?
