My thoughts exactly. When PS6 time comes close enough, they will turn down their PC support and focus on exclusives again - at least until the mid of the next generation.If they want to sell the PS6, they will have to.
This is the idea.Really hoping next gen solves a lot of the development issues through brute force
Things that need to go…
- Bespoke face/body rigging (just use Metahuman)
- Multiple LOD models (use nanite instead)
- Baked lighting (use RT/PT global illumination instead)
Nah, that was just a nonsensical fake. They are doubling down on PC because it's being a very profitable business for them. Not only is helping them to expand their gaming business reaching more people in PC, their PC business is bringing them new users for PS5, which helped them to have right now the biggest active userbase any console brand ever had in gaming history.Wasn't there an internal leak suggesting they were canceling PC ports
Sony has said that they will continue to release first party games first on console and PC later down the line. It's not day and date so I don't know why they would turn down PC when they have continuously said they make money from it. Once a publisher or developer goes to PC they never go back. Sales for a first party game is always the strongest in the first year of console if the sales drop tremendously after the year I don't understand why you Sony stans have a problem with it going to PC to generate more sales. The more money Sony makes the more money they can produce games. I do most my gaming on PC but im still getting a PS6 because console is the best place to play sports games and I don't want to wait a year to play exclusives. Sony has an entirely different approach to PC then Microsoft and it seems to be working for them. PC ports are here to stay so you better get use to it.My thoughts exactly.

3) With this strategy Sony is making more revenue and profit than Nintendo, whose games don't have the very expensive budgets of big AAA gamesNo, because:
1) They make more money than ever, so whatever their strategy is, it's working.
2) They don't have the first-party to pull that off. Sony's strategy has always been to be the place where all the third-parties are. And supplement that with their first-party stuff from time to time.

Yes, supplement the "place where all the third arty are" with a handful of exclusive first party stuff.
If they don't have exclusives, they will be the same as PC and Xbox PC.
Switch 2 is the fastest selling console in history. Do you think Sony might re-consider their strategy of porting every game?
leaving xbox out of this as it isn't immediately clear to me whether we will even have another xbox, or at least as we know it.
I can guarantee that people more knowledgeable than you and I at Sony have done market analysis and concluded that they won't make PC-centric players migrate to Playstation. So instead, they sell their shit to PC-centric players and get more money per first-party title made. Otherwise, they wouldn't have done it.Yes, supplement the "place where all the third arty are" with a handful of exclusive first party stuff.

Hah I was just thinking this while scrolling down the page and there it is. Exactly this. Yes while I said above they will tweak things depending on how threatened they feel by competition, when they do feel emboldened to multiplat they will be completely blind to the slow IP damage over time that this causes. This long-tail effect is bunch of gobbledygook to those Cali finance dudes but apparently 101 in Kyoto.No. I don't think there's enough tangible data to support it. It's a hard sell to the finance guys in meetings. "Keeping Horizon exclusive sells PS5s!" "OK how many?" "Umm well you see..."

Oh yeah? What are these places exactly?They would make, and those "people more knowledgeable" stated this several times.
One of the goal of PC initiative is market penetration in places where PC dominates like 95-99% of non-mobile game market. For them PS and their games simply do not exists - they know almost nothing about them (there are places in the world besides US, Europe and Japan). And PlayStation logo on PC game help raise awareness.
Capcom? They were on life support at the beginning of the PS4 generation if it wasn't for them doubling down on multiplats and pc they would cease to exist today. Yea that's not happening from them.without exclusives or specialized hardware/software, ps6 will just be a value pc
sony should sign exclusivity deals with capcom and friends
re4 was made specifically for gamecube hardware (and arguably the controller too); at the time, the dev team said the game wouldnt work on the ps2 unless they did major downgrades--that wasnt exactly right (ps2 version was worse but not night-and-day), but goes to show working with one set of hardware in mind has its benefits.
