GoodAlready cancelled. Doesn't matter if day 1, 6 months or 1 year. The moment devs have to consider an additional platform, I, as a console player, lose.

Maybe they should respect their paying platform base as well? If it bombs on PlayStation and then bombs harder on PC who really loses in the end? Gaming will continue without Sony, gamers can game without Sony... Can PlayStation exist without a loyal base?

Hey c'mon, Xbox is doing wonderful, Sony is just following!

If Astro Bot goes to PC they are asking for trouble next gen. Someone must be noting how vulnerable Playstation are looking.
Yes, Nintendo is and they will swoop in and gobble up all the 3rd party partners eventually

It will when sales bomb cause emotional brats cancel their pre orders cause they think Sony runs a charity and must keep games exclusive to their favourite plastic box.

How many Sony Japan games have appeared on PC?

It's funny to watch History repeat itself. Xbox fanboys were just like this between 2010 and 2018.... With Kinect, GamePass and then PC push... Now look at the brand.

PlayStation will never see the kinda hype for the brand ever again like they did back in 2020... Remember how a simple Logo on IG sent shockwaves everywhere?

PS6 will be limped and it will be sad to see as a gamer.

Yeah, Sony is doing absolutely terrible if they don't port their games to PC 🙄🙄🙄 their PC revenue outside of helldivers and destiny is a rounding error, and helldivers and destiny aren't doing that hot any more

And it is much worse without PC revenue even though it is peanuts without Helldivers and Destiny.

Sony simply aren’t making enough profits on PlayStation even with the huge revenue.

That’s just the reality.

In a perfect world we all want Sony to be like Nintendo.

But Sony aren’t Nintendo.

Lol that's just not factual.

Also, as a PC player who bought a PS4 Pro and a PS5 for the exclusives and ended up buying a whole lot of 3rd party content (read: thousands of dollars a year) on their platform, yeah that's a great trade for Sony if they let me just stay on PC 🤣🤣🤣 great trade for them, they lose thousands of dollars, no hardware revenue, AND they have to pay steam a 30% cut of their future games that I buy, great idea jimbo

Go do your homework then.

Nintendo make more profits than Sony even though they make 1/3 of the revenue.

That’s the reason Sony is making GaaS and porting to PC.

Their whole model of blockbusters exclusives is not sustainable by itself.

And Nintendo has pure exclusives with no PC, next narrative?

Cause their games are lower budget and sell better.

They don’t need PC or GaaS to stay healthy.

Sony aren’t Nintendo.

Stop living in a dream world.

Is Astro Bot gonna sell 30 million like Mario Odyssey? Please.

After concord, the most significant flop in gaming bar ET we will see more PC/PS5 ports from legacy titles. Sony has to somehow recoup the money.

An each port is small but consistent and cheap revenue stream they can have perpetually. Since PS now also bombed they should use all those games from the PS2 days and up to being them to new platforms.

It's been 4 years, how much revenue and profit has PC brought into PlayStation since?

Funny how PlayStation suddenly is in desperate need of cash coming off the PS4 the most financially successful generation prior to the PS5... so how can they be having their most successful financial generation ever (Sony's words not mine) yet they are also sooooooo in need of money at the same time? They need to destroy their walled garden ecosystem to venture elsewhere??? Your logic isn't adding up.

You don't wanna admit the truth that the higher up Suits embolden to Shareholder's and their yearly bonuses saw how much money the brand was bringing in and hi-jacked the brand to squeeze it dry for quick profits at the detriment of long term viability. Because they don't value gaming.
