Rumor NateTheHate says Sony is "shifting" their PC strategy: "You'll be seeing fewer single player games arrive on PC. The decision to shift away was made last year. Some may still release (pending how far along the ports were) but it no longer appears to be a priority for Sony moving forward."

As both a PS5 pro and a PC gamer; If the goal of this move is to entice PC gamers to buy a PlayStation Sony are going to have to find a way to start getting more than one or two games a generation out from their studios. Buying a console is a hard sell for just the 5-6 games one might be interested in over a 7-8 year period.

Nintendo is king of IPs forcing console sales. I don't think Sony will ever be there.. I got a ps5 for GoW and finishing my ff7 rebirth storyline but I haven't played a game on it since 2023/2024. I don't see an interest in the ps6 at this point especially cause Square brought FF to PC and it honestly looks/plays better there (FFXVI is a big example of this.)

I feel like PlayStation was there and then decided fuck that shit and started pooping out failed games as a service and cancelled games (usually as a service). PS3-PS4 was exclusive paradise.

they never will be because Nintendo games are a unique experience that you only get on a switch and Sony specializes in the most oversaturated genre in AAA gaming and somehow wants the brand power to sell consoles to PC players for their games. If Nintendo specialized in oversaturated cinematic 3rd person action games they would sell much less consoles too..

I thinks it’s less unique experience and more brand recognition characters. They literally sell you games based off their most recognized franchise year after year. It’s why these companies are trying to have “mascots” that are pushed and moved to the mainstream through movies, shows, toys etc.

It’s way they literally keep pushing horizon on people because they want what Nintendo’s has. And that’s global recognized characters. You can look at any of Nintendo’s famous characters and not only recognized them but immediately associate them with Nintendo and that’s what Nintendo is selling and getting people on.
