Sony has generated approximately $700 million from PC port sales for the last fiscal year

To be expected, Helldivers 2 is a beast, this is why GAAS are multiplatform

And for a minimal investment, considering these are all older games, that only require a studio to port them. And because consoles also use X86 CPUs and similar dev tools, it's much easier and cheaper than ever before.
Not porting games to PC, would leave quite a lot of money on the table.

I think they'd be idiots to do that. It's clearly been an absolute failure for Xbox as a strategy.

Lol anything PC players can do to push the agenda

I bought a sex doll, but I keep it inflated 100% of the time and use it like a regular wife
Cool for them, and more games for me.
I don't think they'll ever do day 1 releases tho, no way they want to miss on double-dippers.

What's the agenda? Getting more games on PC day one?

Nearly 50% growth year on year and it looks like a great start to FY 2024 with GoT. Once helldivers II goes to Xbox they'll break a billion..... haha

Helldivers 2 caught everyone by surprise. A much better game to release on PC than consoles IMO.

Sony just needs to get their store up. Launcher wars are coming. I'd rather Sony get that extra $300 million than Valve since they at least make games.

It's all a big conspiracy started by IBM back in the 80s.

I've wanted to buy the game and take a look every time it goes on sale to see if they fixed the degrading texture and performance issue. Alas...

Xbox sales tanked before they put their games on PC.
Edit: Some folks laughing at this so here is the proof.
Microsoft's Play Anywhere initiative began in 2016 with Recore. Xbox One sales begain dropping in 2014.....
Disappearing Act: Xbox Sales Plummet While Microsoft's Other Devices Continue To Struggle
Microsoft's mixed results have largely pleased Wall Street. But the good news on cloud services and stabilization in the PC market can't mask an ugly truth for the software giant: All of its hardware divisions are performing somewhere between terrible and absolutely dreadful. The worst among...

By 2015, sales were so bad that Microsoft no longer reported Xbox numbers at all.
Microsoft No Longer Cares To Tell Us How Many Xbox Ones It's Sold
Microsoft just announced the results for the first quarter of the fiscal year, and one particular statistic was plainly missing, how many Xbox Ones were shipped or sold during the time period. It’s been standard practice for Microsoft to give out those numbers every quarter, but this time...

So as I said, Xbox sales tanked before the first game was ported to PC.

Same. This is the first time I've double dipped on a PS game on PC. Mostly for the trophy integration which I've been wanting for a while.

Its the Helldivers effect.
The three quarter before that are bad. And even those numbers are inflated. Sony has released PC numbers last year. they were nowhere near $500 million it shows here for FY2022. IIRC, they were under $200 million and anticipating $300 million for 2023 so the majority of this is likely on xbox and switch because of MLB the show or whatever else they make for mobile.

We ain't outta here in ten minutes, we won't need no rocket to fly through space
That's only year late ports, too.
Let me buy PC day one. I'm on the verge of selling my PS5 because it's just an ornament, I buy exclusives new on disc and then sell them after finishing them in a weekend for ~85% of the value. I play everything else on PC and I'm not interested in PS+.
Let me take the cash I'd spend on a console (where you make very little money) and I'll dump it all in digital PC games on your proprietary launcher so I don't need to keep this dumb box under my TV.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
Until Dawn remake, a single player game, is releasing on day 1 right?
Day 1 is already here.

As long as Sony still sells a console, day 1 will not happen. 6-12 months might be the new norm though.

Why would they be idiots? People rave about their first party games, unlike Xbox. That’s the difference. It doesn’t work for Xbox because their games aren’t good.
hell just look at must of the thread
