Yep. Historically, it would even incentivize PC gamers with far superior hardware to get a console on the side too.
PS5 is performing better than PS3 and PS4. Some old users may have moved to PC, but were replaced by a bigger amount of new players. Who also buy more gaes and dlc than before both in total and 1st party in particular.
I didn't say Middle East and Africa, I said the rest of Asia outside Japan and Latin America. In recent years, compared to NA & EU or Japan consoles are a very small market there, while mobile and PC are way bigger and have a great growth.
This thread -in a very anti Jim Ryan forum and by a very anti Jim Ryan user- is the only place in internet where we saw that quote. So I'd say it's a fake until a proper legit source is shown.
They are selling PS5 at record levels, and this isn't because of inflation or increased prices.
They have top tier people working on them. I'm confident that they'll do a very good job in most of the cases.
hey, what was the source for this? i've tried to find it anywhere else and it doesn't seem to exist.
If he knows this then why does he continue to port the Playstation exclusive library to a competitor platform?
I'm sure his defenders will come in this thread saying how PC ports are still excellent because "reasons".
PC port could be a short term bonus revenue till they’re live service release in mass HD2, Concord & TM in 2024 Horizon MH, Fairgames & Marathon in 2025. Hopefully PS goes back to its roots & have true PS exclusive push Nixxes to make remakes/remaster live service & mobile across PS, PC & Mobile make PS future clear w consumer not this vague he said she said oh the Sony CFO said more platforms that’s gotta mean Xbox & Nintendo bs

If Sony wants to reach more players they have live service & mobile if you want to expand reach for specific franchise like Horizon porting & helping your competitors while devaluing your platform not smart bad business. Horizon live service is a smart way to reach more players w a franchise & good business doesn’t devalue your platform to a major degree
no, it's not a short term initiative. it's long term. the prize is 300M PC gamers in China, and an even longer path to other developing regions where PC parts are infinitely more available than consoles. the best place for sony to be would be no longer needing nixxes because all the internal teams have their own strong PC development pipelines.
These PC port gonna hit PS badly w the PS6 the PS6 will most likely be a handheld hybrid why buy a PS6 instead of migrating to Nintendo & or buying & migrating to a Steamdeck 2 or PC. If they go day n date PC it’s over for PS, PS would be a sinking ship like Xbox that hardcore gamers wouldn’t invest same issue w Xbox why invest in Xbox its a sinking ship Xbox players migrated to PC & Xbox day n date PC lead to Xbox trading a Xbox gamer for a PC gamer & now Xbox has less Xbox gamers who cares about Xbox & PC players don’t care about Xbox consoles or it’s game they’re playing CSGO or Apex Halo is dead on console & PC. PS will be next if they continue
This is another reason for PS to stay of PC/Steam releasing singleplayer games on PC is dangerous MS is PC & they can easily buy Steam since they’re pushing 3rd party. PS goes day 1 PC now MS owns a consoles (Steamdeck) & PC platform that has Xbox games & PS games day 1 making PS consoles obsolete which will lead PS consoles to be irrelevant long term
That's because those other companies are interested in bigger growth, they have shareholders to please.Pretty sure PC doesn't consider PS competition

Valve is privatley owned. You can bet your ass if valve was in the same situation they'd be looking for bigger growth.
Also lets not forget when Gabe came out to sonys e3 press conference apologetically for the shit he said abvout the ps3 and put portal 2 on ps3
Who came back to who first? Sony didn't put shit on steam back then, straight up made him bend the knee infront of the gaming world.
Man came out and bent the knee, it is what it isMore like they begged him to gain some positive PR for PS3's disastrous launch
Playstation will be fine as it's the defactp home console. As long as people keep buying consoles, it will be fine.
MS isn't going to buy Valve.
