So youre saying Sonys excuse for stopping PC ports is some bullshit?

Their CEO originally claimed they were only porting exclusives to PC in order to get more people interested in buying PlayStation consoles. Steam sales didn't increase PS console purchases, so they've decided to stop porting games to PC.
Nevermind that opening your games to more sources will rake in more money than keeping them locked down behind your singular platform.

You're looking at it like the goal is to increase revenue while the actual goal is to increase user counts within their walled garden.
More users makes the investors tingle, and especially when those users are giving 100% of the purchase price to Sony for first-party titles and 30% for third-party.

We always knew it was bullshit. Now we have proof beyond even a shadow of a doubt. Somehow fanboys will find a way to ignore what's in front of them still, but everyone else now has something to point to.

Seems Sony excuse is right. Based on the article the gap between PS and PC is down from 20% to 10%

What was their excuse, exactly? I mean I know it was almost certainly actually about trying to sell more PS5s to get more users on their store platform but I don't know what they actually have said to justify it.

No one reads articles. This is a decline feom 30% last year and Playstation is up, this is utter trash headline

This makes sense most decent laptops even play most modern games on low settings unlike 15 years ago where you did need a gaming, laptop or gaming, desktop or gaming system play games. now buying a game system is just for people who really want exclusives or the highest graphic settings

Oh that fine and true I more dont like the headline cause sounds like A this is new information and B pc is going up and Playstation going down. More I got is capcoms non gaming going up vs both
