The disadvantage is not selling games though.Not having to give Steam 30%.

No.Of course not but they're making a handheld for PlayStation games.
If PlayStation games are available on PC handhelds already, because their games are on Steam, then how will they make their handheld seem exciting?
Can you not see a problem with their current strategy?
Probably by doing nothing since no one outside of sweaty nerds know about those PC handhelds.Of course not but they're making a handheld for PlayStation games.

Wow, that explains everything.
You couldn't play PSP and Vita games on any other handheld.No.
Have you heard of the PSP and PSVita before?
Expect it to be like that.
No relation to PC at all.
They won't.
Imagine, they release the launcher on PC. They would have 2 options:
Safe thing for them is to not do anything and just release their games on other storefronts.
- Paid multiplayer. PC bros get mad and go back to Steam.
- Free multiplayer. Console bros get mad. "Why are PC bros getting a better deal than us?"
Everything is a downgrade versus Steam. Except when you don't want to be locked up to Steam.I do think down the line as device types blur closer together into just different form factor computers....there is sense in Sony making their own app platform that hosts their games and services elsewhere (even if Playstation console is still the main one).
Not just for PC, but also for phones/tablets as both Google and Apple are being forced through government regulation to open their platforms up to other storefront options.
Only difficulty is Sony actually making a good enough place people want to go when they don't control the whole stack from hardware to software. I think Sony make a good overall console, but anytime I have to use PSN as a storefront...it's just a downgrade vs Steam.
Take a guess:

Absolutely fucking embarrassingYah but it is Sony Playstation. Lots of Playstation fans will support Sony's Playstation PC launcher, me included.
Right now I think it's pointless because they don't have enough for a launcher especially since steam has all the PlayStation games right now. I think the only way they could do it is if a game launches day and date like Wolverine on the launcher. But I think a lot of PC gamers would just wait until a steam release.
Yeah, that's probably why Stellar Blade hit 1 million sales 19 times faster on Steam than on PS5. You know, Sony's own console and console launcher.Yah but it is Sony Playstation. Lots of Playstation fans will support Sony's Playstation PC launcher, me included.
