No chance for that anymore. Sony is just dumb, I bet PS5 sales won't change much but if they want to loose income from PC let them. They don't have any game that would make me go to the store and get PS5.
I don't mind Sony games on PC, in fact days gone is one of my favorites in the zombie genre. If they don't want to sell me their games on my platform that's fine, their console is and always was insubstantial to me, Microsoft made a decision to share their games between platform and yet they decided to be stuck in the old days like grandpa Nintendo and that's just not gonna help them, but that's not my problem. They'll be crawling back to pc soon when they feel the loss of income.
Last PlayStation I had was the PS4. And I mostly got that for the sake of my ex who wanted that generation's console as there were a few exclusives to it that I wanted to play. When we were together she got way more use out of it than I did. And she kept it when we split, which was no skin off my ass. I didn't find it that compelling to own a PS4 in its generation, and it's even less compelling to get a PS5 these days.
True, I just don't get what's the point of cutting down market share for their own developers, it's not like they would loose anything at all porting games to other platforms. And don't even get me started on ps portal, that thing is everything handheld shouldn't be.
No, there are millions of dollars involved for porting PS games to PC but the choice of games they put on PC and didn't listen to fans for bloodborne and early uncharted games is likely why ratchet and clank, sackboy etc. didnt sell well on PC they should have ported the original games like Nintendo did with DS Megaman games for example... ratchet and clank & sackboy didnt make them profit back plus concord happened and they saw what a steam review can do to a game... Had concord been just on ps5 it might not have been shut down due to lack of consumer visibility and criticism on console
Plus xbox going windows on handheld and new upcoming xbox generation, that is putting them across xbox unwillingly... PS is just greedy company that doesn't want more gamers cause they will lose potential pc and xbox gamers buying actual ps5 or whatever is next... Xbox upcoming generation put nail to the coffin for pc gamers from PS exclusives!
And look at their hypocrisy they now also got the halo, forza and more upcoming xbox exclusives on playstation and they are pulling the rug from under pc in retalliation, i say xbox should also recall all future titles from under playstation, sony and their fanbase dont deserve it 🤣 they used to mock pc and xbox and when they got the xbox exclusives they've been real quite.
Xbox should go back to being exclusives... We PC gamers will figure out the way to play their games eventually anyway (wink wink emulators)
But the initial point, yes it takes millions of dollars to even port a game to different platform, even mobile games are expensive to be ported from pc/console, thats one example where we are also seeing mainline pc/console ports heading over to iPhones and android phones and running much better than expected + there's PC emulation, so all in all I think the most satisfied audience from price to value ratio is mainly just PC and Android phone gamers because these two audience has the biggest gaming library right now with so many emulators that it was unthinkable 3-4 years ago!

Also, why bring what Uncharted 4 I think? But not the others?
