Have to look at the whole picture.
- How much would a full wireless featureset increase DualSense sales on PC?
- How much would a full wireless featureset devalue the PS5?
- What is ultimately the more important business venue DualSense PC sales or PS5 sales?
- They port games, but remember they don't do day 1 for flagship singleplayer releases
- It's the same general premise
I do think a dongle is a better compromise because it would cost more money. It's a revenue booster at the very least. I think they should have built a better "PS Link" adapter.
If I were in charge of product at PlayStation, that would be a big priority. Take a page out of Apple's playbook. All Sony devices PlayStation or otherwise, should have integrated PS Link capabilities, so you could sync a DualSense with a Sony Bravia TV right out of the box without messing with Bluetooth. Same with Sony headsets both the PlayStation and Sony XM5 headsets.
Similarly a PS Link adapter should allow you to utilize a DualSense wireless with full featureset as well as a Pulse Elite headset.
Sony's attempts at making an ecosystem of products is really early 2000s.
It's crazy that Sony's flagship noise canceling headset can't be used with PS5. So, I think they have bigger issues than the lack of PC support.
Hopefully, they get this right with PS6.
