Selling a couple hundred thousands of copies on PC to completely diminish the need of your hardware & then diminishing the PS storefront, mtx sells, games sells, subscriptions & overall maximization of the PS business to bolster your competitors platform/storfront/hardware is one hell of a pivot in a mindset of short term profit & short term growth at the cost of the platform, storefront & hardware you yourself own.

Nintendo & Steam will remain at the top while PS remains 3rd place indefinitely till they reverse diminishment in there business long term.

I won't be surprised when GT7's PC port is announced later in the year. After all it was in the Nvidia leak (which has been pretty much 100% accurate for SIE games).

Hasn't the Nvidia leak been 100% accurate in general?

They made sure PSVR2 is out for PC beforehand. I can see GT coming early next year

For certain companies (very few) it maybe hasn't been (I think a couple Nintendo games were on there, which would obviously be false), but for SIE? 100% accurate up to this point.

That's my thought as well. They'll probably reveal the PC version at a SOP or Showcase (should be in a blog post IMO) and then release it Q1 2025.

Gran Turismo is never coming to PC, it's too much of a system seller and I feel like dude who did OP only exists to post doom and gloom PlayStation news.

The only reason GT7 might skip PC is because it's an ongoing game always being updated and it would be more work for Poliphony. But eventually they will have to figure it out because Sony wants Gran Turismo on PC like all their other games.

Yep, PC ports were one of the worst and most shortsighted decisions in gaming business history

This recent quarter Sony more than doubled their game revenue outside PS (mostly PC) vs last year, continues with a huge YoY growth after several years:

This quarter they made there 33,103 Million yen ($225.8M). This is more money than PS made with physical games (20,629M yen this quarter, $140.4M).

PC is a very successful and profitable business for Sony, so they will continue investing on it doubling down their efforts there.

LMAO for peanuts (225 million) they will lose out on physical, digital and add on content, classic penny wise pound foolish in action here.

Nope. Demon Souls isn't there yet, nor GT7.

Actually no. Main reason and only is that online, which is sublime right now, PC version would ruin online community and it will be full of cheaters. And Kaz don't want that shit. Neither do i.

If think this is peanuts, then you think that PS physical game sales are worse than that.

Because they made more money with this than with PS physical game sales.

You keep posting this out of context. What new PS exclusive came out in that period, compared to PC ports? You're disingenuous.

yep, and soon once PC is not enough for them and their greedy asses anymore, they'll start porting games to the Switch 2...

Physical is dead. Compare PC with digital software.
I don't hate PC releases, I hate late PC releases. Sony should just go all for it so we can decide if we stay on PlayStation or invest in RTX6090 titan vgx extra.

These PS numbers I posted include all PS games, not only the exclusive ones or first party ones.

You're the disingenous ones, rejecting the reality of tha factual numbers I'm putting in your face.

they're not brave enough to do that, Sony is even worse than Microsoft, cause at least Microsoft was upfront since the start that everything would go to PC and let users decide if they should stay or go

No they don't, you're talking nonsense.
