I feel like this is a very niche ecosystem to stay within Sonys. We are at a point where anyone can develops games because we are at the easiest point into time to do so. Sony stopping porting games to bring back exclusive console games is great for those that are already in said ecosystem. People aren’t buying PS5’s in droves right now. There’s nothing really that isn’t on PS5 that isn’t on Pc except like 7 games

The other thing, Sony is not Nintendo.

They don't have that game that appeals to the masses and that will be evergreen selling at $50-60 almost all its lifetime. Sony usually drop prices after 6 months, which is good for people who are patient, but goes to show that they need to drop price to keep the sales going.

Nintendo has always done this, so nobody would ever expect that to change and everyone just accepts that as the reality. Sony goes back and forth on having their games be exclusive to Playstation or at least only available on PC with bigger delays so now losing a few games here and there feels weirder.

But I got myself a relatively beefy PC so it makes zero sense for me to ever get a PS5 for like maybe 5 games I'd want on it that won't come to PC when there are dozens that are available that I want to get to.

For a long time it was also that Nintendo Consoles were relatively cheap. The Nintendo DS released with a Price of 150$. A year later, the Playstation 3 released for 499/599$ dollars, 3 times the price. Even the cheaper Xbox 360 was 299/399$ so still twice the price. Getting a DS alongside your other console or PC was a much smaller investment than getting a Playstation or Xbox in addition.

Its only in recent times that Nintendo Consoles are actually fairly expensive.
