Consoles are dying and Sony knows it

[SimplyFinn]

They're abandoning ship, quickly trying to get into the PC market. They leave their most valuable asset behind, no big company does that unless something is up.

that's why they couldn't keep them in stock for a solid 2 years straight off the console release? you sound dumb af.

No, sony is just smarter in the business than xbox.
They sold what they had to sell on PS5, now time to make money on PC.

Xbox choses to lose money and throw it on PC. Not that I'm complaining, it's just bad and not sustainable business model.

As Sony said themselves multiple times last years.

Most of their exclusives on consoles don't recover the development costs and is why they went to PC.
PC sales is covering the money loss on console versions.

PS5 has less monthly sales than the PS4 at it's time of release. Their console is having a rough time

They're still selling them undercost, trying to cope with games sales. But the next exclusive game will be FFXVI, and most likely they won't have another one for at least a year.

PS5 outsold PS4 in year 1 sales and then suffered supply constraints due to covid and the chip shortage, variables that PS4 didn't encounter.

All platforms are cool. PC is only more versatile. If you don't need PC for work, we can argue all day if it is worth a buy.

Yeah. PC costs more, but you can do millions of other things too to justify the price.
On top of it game prices drops faster on PC than on consoles.
My PC from 2021 already paid itself back.

On PC you can play 100% of new Xbox games natively on day 1, and Sony is porting exclusive games to PC left and right. It's an all in one box.

You don't need to spend 1200$ to get both Series X and PS5 when you have PC as you don't need any of them.

My console just died a week ago.

I imagine people like more money,

The point where people stop buying consoles to play their exclusives, and they can see this in their data, is the point where they will release games on PC.

I've stopped buying Consoles for exclusives about 5-7 year ago, I'm sure theres a trend of it.
But I'll buy the games on PC... So if the trend means exclusives are no longer profitable by simply being exclusive... They wont make them entirely exclusive.

Just basic business.
