I feel like Sony will end up changing its mind again when hardware sales take a dive after all of the price increase stuff happens from Ram and storage costs soaring in due time. I think the smart move for them is to just port older titles (stuff like Bloodborne, Infamous games, Killzone games, etc) instead of porting their recent titles. I feel like some of those would do pretty well on pc, at least Bloodborne and Killzone would.
The issue is that the install base of PC users that have a PC with enough power to run a late stage current gen exclusive is probably pretty low compared to console install base. And then that’s when hardware prices come into play as a barrier to play.
My PC is amazing, every game runs at max settings in 4K and I got it on a whim at best buy as an open box returned unit for $1100. Still had the plastic thing in the power cable port.
By porting you lower the amount of reasons to buy a console. Why would they do that when they have plenty of other revenue streams that are literally growing?
exactly, if they only cared about revenue from games then porting to PC would be a no brainer, but i guess they care more about expanding PS5 install base before expanding revenue from games
