If PS is releasing games on PC, they might aswell release on Xbox and Switch too lol
All the arguments used to support the release of PlayStation games on PC work even better for releasing them on Xbox and Nintendo platforms.

With Jim Ryan gone, the man who halved SIE profit margin to increase market share in Asia, North America and kill Xbox, Kenichiro Yoshida and Hiroki Totoki are plotting to loot SIE future and retire rich:


Kenichiro Yoshida (Sony Chairman and CEO)
“If you look at the game industry as a whole, the console market is not a major market, rather it’s a niche market if you will"


Hiroki Totoki (Sony President and CFO, SIE chairman)
"Our stance on share buybacks and dividends remains largely unchanged, in that we stil believe shareholder return need to be addressed properly"

"We aim to increase consolidated operating income during this Mid-Range Plan, primarily in G&NS and I&SS, and achieve an average annual growth rate of 10% or more"

"We will be able to steadily increase profits from the PS platform going forward"

"We are planning to achieve a new record high in profits in FY26 (G&NS)"

"We expect lower hardware sales to drive profits in FY24"

"We will sell consoles without substantial discounts"

"Strong titles that achieve growth on PS5, PC and other platforms will widen our margins"

"FY23 will be the peak in acquisition-related expenses. These expenses will decline around 20% in FY2024"

"We intend to work to achieve a new record profit during the PS5 generation"

"Incremental Free Cash Flow is expected to be used primarily for shareholdersʼ return"

"With regard to shareholder returns, we plan to place emphasis on the total payout ratio, which we expect to gradually increase throughout the
period of the 5th Mid-Range Plan, aiming for approximately 40% in the fiscal year ending March 31, 2027"

"To this end, we set aside 250 billion yen for share buybacks for this fiscal year, which exceeds the amount we acquired in the previous fiscal year"

"Regarding dividends, our policy is to continue to increase dividends steadily while accelerating the pace of dividend increases"

Revenue was never the strong point of Xbox… most games flopped in sales that otherwise.

Now that even Microsoft give up in supporting their own platform you want Sony to release games there?

We are discussing how flopped is being the sales of a lot of games on PC for Sony… imagine if they try to release them on Xbox lol

Why a company should invest in suck waste in revenue? Should not be better to port games to Switch?

In fact Switch will probably will give more revenue than PC or Xbox… is a market Sony doesn’t work anymore (portable devices) and games like R&C, Sackboy, Astro, etc can become huge revenue hits for Sony.

When you think about you understand why Sony porting games to Xbox is so waste of time and money.

Let's be honest, if Sony really starts releasing their games day one on PC this will happen in 5 years or so, they will start wtih stuff like Astro Bot and Sack Boy first and they would move to the big hitters.

Nintendo as the remaining exclusive platform would be hilarious

A few competitive ads = the hundreds of threads from the fans/enthusiasts about platform wars? Right.
I didn't know forums were a big hit in the early 90s, and that everybody had internet access.

Nintendo already is the only one with actual exclusive games.

I actually think that they are wasting money with new hardware. Release everything for PS4 and 5, and let the tech enthusiasts have everything with high-end graphics on PC.

No R&D money, no hardware sold at loss, Cerny has more time to platinum games etc.

you are very deluded xbox fanboy

They are literally telling you what SIE have been telling us about PC/Steam for years now. So what is fundamentally the difference between PC and Xbox, especially if the latter is supposedly now a 3P publisher like so many PlayStation fans have been claiming?

Every single talking point SIE has leveraged to justify their PC strategy, can be easily applied to consoles like Xbox. So if OP's wrong about this WRT Xbox, SIE are wrong about having the same perspective towards PC/Steam.

But I bet you won't question SIE's logic on their PC strategy, huh?

This is common sense. Sony will go bankrupt without Xbox. You guys need to stop putting your head in the dirt and realize 2024 might be the final year of PlayStation as we know it.

Gamepass is the way to play video games going forward, nobody buys $70 software anymore, Sony failed to realize it needed to put EVERY game on PS+ day and date, GOW flopped, GT7 flopped, hell Spider-Man 2 flopped, all would have been saved if they were on subscription service. They would be rolling in cash if they allowed MS to put gamepass on ps5

Where they failed next was not doing day and a date multiplatform. They sent final fantasy out to die, now former square enix executives have been caught begging in the streets for pennies due to poor sales. Helldivers 2 is the only successful Sony release in 4+ years because steam users saved it, the writing was on the wall Sony needed PC but now it’s far too late.
