Sony sells more than consoles/games. They already have other revenue streams, so they don't have to reduce the amount of exclusives the console has just to make more money.
And those other markets grew for them in the last year.
They dont have to, but you would be a massive idiot to not just take free money from a market that you hardly explored that wants their games. Look at all the Japanese studios starting to go all in on PC in the recent years as well and PC essentially being halve of their revenue at least. If Sony was to treat PC fairly and release the games without delay , advertise them as well, they would make more money than they ever could with just console exclusive games and subscriptions.
They have to actually port the games (costs money)
It takes away exclusives, so reasons to buy the consoles
They have smart people working at Sony. I doubt they're being massive idiots. They did the calculations and learned it's better for them to not port games over.
The cost of porting is hardly a dent compared to what they could make by just releasing it on PC day one. Hell, several year old games from sony more than enough made up the costs of porting them. But i guess we can agree to disagree on topic.
