Clearly the Rockstar model works.

Becoming fully 3rd party with no platform / hardware / store? They would need an IP at the level of GTA, which they certainly don't have.
For now they are making money on third party games and are losing money on their first party games. So I don't think they'll ditch their Playstation and store yet.
Your opinion is anecdotal evidence.

No I meant keep your games on console and release on PC few years later .

They won't do that because they know people will wait until the PC release

Say what you want about Jim Ryan, but he hasn't left the stage and then opened his damn mouth constantly.

Especially when you look at some of the most revered games/franchises in history
Mario
Uncharted
Last of Us
Halo
Gears
Killzone
Forza
God of War
Etc…
Common denominator? EXCLUSIVES
It gives the platform holder a reason to show off their tech, optimize for one platform and build their name

Said it a bit ago, there are real chances games like Intergalactic and other giant games won't be profitable, games that are made in USA and are exclusive are risky AF.
This said, it doesn't NEED to be since it's not simply made to make money but to sell consoles, which will make money from other sources.
Judging by Santa Monica's announcements or leaks with 3 GoW separate remakes, spin offs etc, or Insomniac/Guerilla i guess their strategy will be to find IP's that sell well and just focus hard on these, with more remakes/spin off to not waste 6-7 years per game

PC gamers who make the unlikely choice to buy a PS5 to play Intergalactic or any first party game for that matter, they're not going to be paying for Plus, they're not going to be buying third party games there, they're not going to be investing in the ecosystem at all. In which case Sony might as well just sell the games to them where they already play.
