There are PS gamers who’re playing on PC too, that’s why Xbox was said to be irrelevant when MS started porting their games last gen, so there will be some overlapping.
But going by Helldivers 2 there should be no concern about day 1 releases, the game sold incredibly well on both platforms. Google says HD2 broke Ragnarök’s 12 week record and Ragnarök was on PS4+PS5.
That said, I absolutely understand why Sony do late releases, same as MS now on PS. They get bonus sales once they’ve stopped selling on their own platform. And they hope FOMO will sell some extra consoles.
But I just don’t think that last thing works. A PC gamer buying a console to play an exclusive is probably less likely than a PS gamer buying a Xbox to play Redfall. Almost all my friends play on PC, I’ve not once seen anyone buy a console for an exclusive.
Nintendo begs to differ. Its just not measureable for us, but iam quite sure arrogant Sony think they can retain all of their console base and just expand. Let's see how it goes. But to say that it definitely won't have any meaningful impact on consoles sales is definitely wrong. We can't know that and either can't Sony. It's a gamble for them!
With all the day one sony hype I would expect until dawn remake at least hit 100k ccu on steam. Let's see how that goes.
