Ofc they keep buying the Playstation on steam but they also do so with all of their 3p gaming. So yeah you whole point is shortsighted.

It's not shortsighted... i fully understand that and so does Sony... except the amount of people that you believe will switch over is a completely miniscule vocal minority. There isnt going to be some mass exodus.. and insignificant amount of people will threaten to leave... and even less will actually do so, and those people will still be giving Sony money.

Hardly anyone is switching.

If PC ports were doom and gloom to the PS5 ecosystem, PS5 sales would be crumbling since PC ports started in 2020 and then ramped up more games every year. I dont see it crumbling.

Heck, the Horizon ZD PC port even launched before PS5 came out.

The reason why Nintendo put out so many unique and creative games is because they are targeting their customers and only one hardware.

Nintendo becoming third party and putting their games on PC would make very different games, less creative, less interesting. They would make open-world, story focused with cutscenes and pretty graphics games. They would eventually target everybody and not only die hard Nintendo fans who only want fun from their games and nothing else.

When you look at Rockstar and From Software success one would ask: they have success on PC! Well they are doing one or 2 games, using the same winning formula. They are not doing 20 different GAAS games on PC! And that formula has been created on console and all those games started as a Single Player game.

They are behind ps4 with basically no competition.

The strategy that everything will come over didn't come to fruition for years after the ps5 released. The real testimony will be the release of the ps6 and if they fall short of the ps5 we know whats up!
