PlayStation Studios are now promoting competing hardware (Steam Deck)

Looks like a disastrously low-selling portable PC. What is it?
No, the chart I've linked here correlates to spend. It's the share of payers (not players) per platform. Note how few of those enormous record-breaking MAUs actually fork over anything.
How many MAUs is that, anyway, as a percentage of total user base? 130 out of how many billion?
All f2p games, I believe, with add-on subs like Minecraft Realms. Essentially little ecosystems unto themselves. Sony will need to remove the PS+ paywall, if the old PS4 era status quo of "don't pay PS+ for f2p games" has changed.
My point is that in 10 years, those MAU numbers are going to skyrocket in GAAS. PlayStation 6 sales won't.
I’m just being aware but are these PS theme intro really exclusive to Valve own console the Steamdeck?
This is also the thing Naughty Dog did for TLOU day? Where they gave Steam exclusive PS theme intro for Steamdeck users (Valve own console)
PS really trying help Valve/Steam sell more hardware/consoles lmao talk about being the next Xbox what a joke of true. PS this gen has done nothing more then solidify Valve/Steam position as the best platform & storefront to play games 1 step closer on Valve/Steam becoming the default in gaming what is PS/Somy even thinking? This (Valve/Steam) is a massive threat to Sony/PS business I’d argue Valve/Steam is a bigger threat in gaming then Xbox & Nintendo given Valve unique position in gaming & as a corporation.
Crazy how for TLOU PS didn’t even had any exclusive themes/backgrounds or hell exclusive cosmetics for PS users who play TLOU on PS & not on PC. It’s also like PC users having exclusive benefits w GOW ragnarok which PS users will get a update later on to get some features added w the PC release, like huh how do you not have that ready for PS to make the PC release as parity to the PS version lmao
All this PC initiative just makes the next PS hardware more questionable especially if it’s a handheld. $500+ PS handheld or $500 Steamdeck 2 with the same performance & Steam having PS & Xbox games + PC games & default PC exclusives or a $400 Nintendo Switch 2 w Xbox & PS exclusive + more 3rd party & Nintnedo own first party that will never go to another console platform or storefront.
Such a stark difference between PS & Valve/Steam & Nintendo

It is more about to sell their games not Steam Deck.
BTW PlayStation PC marketing team is probably different from the PlayStation console marketing team.
The PlayStation PC marketing team needs to find ways to market PlayStation games on PC no matter what the console side is doing or think.
They are doing their job.
No matter if you think PlayStation is killed themselves or how you hate Sony releasing games on PC... the PC marketing team needs to market games released/releasing on PC.
BTW the choose to have these ads (you have to pay for them) is decided game by game basis by the team.
And it has nothing related to what the other console market team did or not did.

Yes, these are exclusively on steam deck, but they're just video files and can easily be repurposed.
All this is is to promote their games, its not that deep.

Sony is already launching games on PC... but how they dare to even market them there
Lmao this is funny. PS fans don’t keep the same energy when Xbox release there games on PS yet here is PS doing the same thing.
Xbox & PS are the same platform it’s just Xbox leadership & brand is dog shit & PS is able to keep there brand in tact for the short term unlike Xbox.
I bet in PS6 PS goes day n date & on Steam aswell as having Steamdeck compatibility & Steamdeck exclusive to promote there games on Valve/Steam. Funny how Gabe keeps winning the platform/storefront war by doing nothing while companies self sabotage themselves for small short term profit & growth while Valve & Nintendo look at the long term receiving free growth & profit from the help of 3rd party publishers like Xbox & PS. Looks like Valve & Nintendo understands the business, more w less & in this case free growth & profits from the help of others there’s a reason apple isn’t trying to let there platform or storefront be diminish
I can’t wait for the Steamdeck 2 & Switch 2 those will be exciting considering the Steamdeck 1 already plays PS5 games while being weaker then a PS5
"PlayStation PC marketing team" ....
Don’t worry PS studios promoting PC & Nintendo Switch. You can guarantee a Switch 2 port of all PS4 & PS5 games on Switch 2. It’s just part of the “PS PC marketing team” even thoe there isn’t a PS PC team & all marketing is going through PS.
Most of the negative pr that PS has been getting has been from making these bad decisions that doesn’t help PS or Sony in the long term. Good luck w PS trying to sell a PS6 like the PSVR 2 that will be another hard sell w Steamdeck 2 & Switch 2 out & both of those hardware being cheaper & able to play those time exclusive
Btw I’m guessing Lego Horizon will sell 5 million if this sells less then mainline Horizon that are exclusive that would be funny since this game also has the Lego branding that is bigger then Horizon. Also how will this do on PC? 10K peak on PC that would be another huge bomb
Sony has sub-division for PC releases and that includes a team focused in marketing these releases."PlayStation PC marketing team" ....
If you want to blame someone for porting games on PC then you should blame PlayStation Studios because Cory Barlog stated that PlayStation Studios asked Sony to port their games on PC

God of War's Cory Barlog says PlayStation studios convinced Sony to put games on PC
Though really, it seems like it was only a matter of time.
