    Sony selling 1st party games on other platforms has always been a poor long term business decision. Sony’s golden goose is being the platform holder where they collect revenue through software licensing, PS Plus subscriptions, and selling accessories. Releasing 1st party software on PC is an existential threat because consumers don’t look at buying into the PlayStation platform as necessary.

    I switched from PC to ps5 about a year ago. I got a ps5 and the convenience factor really won me over. Everything loads lightning fast and the UI is well thought out and convenient. Its not as fast as my 4070 PC but it's fast enough and I don't have to deal with bad PC ports. When I turn on my PC to play something there's always a small chance that something will screw up and I have to fix it and that really annoys me now when it didn't before.

    As a PC enthusiast and Console owner, I can safely say that I can’t stand dealing with every iterative update in the Windows environment. I hate having to constantly learn about new services to disable. I hate updating drivers and keeping an archive of drivers because newer drivers can break older games. I hate OS bloat that slows the OS overtime so that i need to reimage my system. I hate other PC players that decide to cheat. With all that I hate doing I still love PC games but theres complete value in a console and not having to deal with this BS. Would be nice if Microsoft got a little more serious and made mechanics in their OS to assist with gaming. I mean 2000+ threads on a vanilla install of Windows.

      Guys, use Linux. That is a solution if you want to own and control your computer, not the opposite. If you can't leave Windows behind because of some kernel level anti cheat, face the fact that you have an addiction that prevents you from choosing privacy over gaming.
      Also it's not only about privacy, many general things, settings are much more straightforward in Linux (Gnome - Ubuntu) to me after using Windows for 20 years..

    The true purpose of all exclusives is not direct profit from its sales, that is just a 2ndary benefit. The real purpose is magnetizing buyers to an ecosystem, then marketing that expanded ecosystem to 3rd party pubs, then getting a 30% kickback from 3rd party pubs per copy of their games sold within the ecosystem.

    Sony does not actually believe it’s going to convert lots of PC gamers into console buyers. They do however know that there is some overlap between PC users and console buyers, and they have no desire to stop giving those dual users a reason reason to buy a PS5, thus we have this waiting period for single player games.
    PC customers are quite simply less valuable customers. Valve takes a 30% cut from every game purchase, and Sony is in no hurry to give up that cut of day one sales for God of War or Spider-man.

      use of his programs downloaded from the internet
      The exclusive right of distribution of a copy of a computer program covered by such a licence is

    I'm a PC gamer because I can't afford the console ecosystem.
    My PC cost much more than a new generation console - but almost all the software I play on it is either indies, games I purchased on sale (just got Suicide Squad steam code for $20), MMOs or free-to-play. I can't afford $70-120 games.... so I certainly can't afford to pay another $500 + electronics tax + internet tax + state tax + shipping.... then be forced to deal with Sony or Microsofts' digital store fronts these days. I'm not going back to physical games, and I already have a massive library of things to play from 15 years on Steam and GOG.
    I've been a gamer since 1988, and this is the first generation were I did not own a console, and it's largely because the AAA industry have become too expensive for me to engage in that market... and playing video-games on console just keeps getting more expensive. Remember when PS5 RAISED their price two years into their console release?
    Sorry Sony, but a few exclusives (which will probably come to PC anyway), are not enough to make me cross that river again. I honestly do not even care about those big budget titles anymore, anyway. I'm playing things that are largely over a decade old, at this point. I'm happy using my PC, where I can get more longevity out of my hardware, and I can play games for very little money.

      You sound like money grows on trees, and hardware is free? lol. That is not really a realistic option for most humans on the planet..... the majority of gamers cannot afford to do that.... especially in the climate we currently are living in. I know a lot of people on here are in that income bracket where they have no issue - but a lot of people are going to buy one and call it a day.
      And if they (are like me) and saved for a nice PC, then your average person who over-extended themself for a PC, are probably going to stay there - short of possibly a switch as a secondary device. I say this as someone who had multiple consoles a generation going back the the lat 80s. And followed that trend well into last generation when I had a PC, 3DS, Wii U, PS4 Pro and Xbox One X.
      But this generation, I literally cannot afford to have everything new (not even a OLED TV/Monitor).... and almost every gamer in my close friend group has switched to one platform in recent years as a direct result of the financial climate (every dollar needs to stretch). If you read many of the comments under this video, its a lot of people saying: they sold their console to buy a PC/handheld; they had a PS4 /XBO and instead bought a PC this generation; they have a PS5 and cannot afford anything else, or something happened to their old hardware so they bought a cheaper option.
      I know alot of people who had a PS4 who bought a Series S to play Gamepass, and skipped PS5 (and XSX) for price. And if you look at available public data, nearly half of all console sales are currently from people playing on PS4! My friends OZZY and my younger brother (both guys in their mid-30s), have refused to upgrade this generation, because the PS4 Pro still serves them great for the games they play (And both could afford to upgrade).
      The recent generation of consoles are almost $600 in many places after MSRP, taxes (internet sales tax, state sales tax, VAT), and shipping. Then you have the subscription services cost so much now - just to play online - so multiply that for PS5, XSX and Switch....
      I am truly happy that you (and many others) can afford to own every platform, but 95% of people can't - or won't because they don't feel comfortable spending that much money these days when there are better needs. It used to be that casuals only had one platform, but in 2024 - the vast majority of core gamers are largely gaming on one platform (and maybe a handheld).
      If you want a switch, PS5, XSX and gaming PC..... that's literally _thousands_ of dollars! lol. And that doesn't include those subscriptions, optional OLED HDR TV (HDMI 2.1), games, hardware, etc. Back in the Sixth and Seventh Generations, you could own all three consoles (PS2, XBox, and GC) for less than a brand-new PS5, a year of PS Plus Premium, and a digital copy of the Star Wars Outlaws Ultimate Edition game. 🤷‍♂

And the people playing down on those lower end systems on the Steam survey aren't generally playing AAA titles that Sony is trying to entice them with anyways. They're playing games that probably aren't even available on the PS5 and they're probably playing a lot of free titles as well.
    Also, I used to buy pretty much every console, as I game on both... but I just don't see the point anymore and have zero interest in the new PlayStation or X-Box and won't care about the next either.

Then came God of War 2018 and omg, I fell in love with that game. When I heard that God of War Ragnarök is coming already, I bought a used PS4 Pro, because I HAD to play it... I didn't want to wait years and it's impossible to avoid spoilers. Mean people are everywhere. Since then, I completely stopped playing single player games on PC (I still play Valorant, and Overwatch on PC, so it's my multiplayer "console" now). Laters I tried PS5 at my friend, and the DualSense is so awesome! Ghostwire Tokio was an experience, I never had with a game. Astro's Playroom??? Damn, you can feel the whole game in your hands... It's the true "next gen" experience. I wanted a PS5, so when prices went down to normal, I switched to it. No more annoying shader compilation stutters, no more trash AMD drivers, no more freezes, crashes in every game. It's just a lot better, and smoother experience. Oh, and I don't have to wait years to get a good game. :)

Like dude, you're literally making up excuses and trying to turn it into a negative when this is objectively not a negative.
      "I don't have time to get dressed in the morning or tie my shoes because I am too busy." This is rhetorical. If you have time to do that, you have time to "mess with the settings."
      Mountains out of mole hills here. Holy moly. Buy a pre-built if you have to. That's why such a market exists because not every person (even fervent PC gamers) like to build them. They just like to game on them. Driver updates are a one-click affair as well. GeForce Experience or AMD Adrenalin take care of that.

    Most PC gamers gravitate towards PC as a long term thing be it for the better value of games, the ability to play games years after release without worrying about backwards compatibility, modding, and freedom PC offers just in general.
    12 years ago I built my first PC, though I have used PCs most of my life. Before and after that I still used consoles. I still tend to prefer PC and go back to it. That CEO was spouting pure cope though. I wouldn't buy a console strictly for one or two games. There has to be something more for it to be worth it. The Switch I would argue used to have enough to make it worth going for. It can be played anywhere, it can hook up to a tv and has pretty good third party controller support. And if you modify it you can run a lot of older games on it, including games not on their subscription service. Even then, PC gamers often run Switch games on a PC and get much better performance and visuals. And Nintendo not putting their games on PC is them potentially leaving a lot of money on the table. Whether they like it or not, many PC gamers will not buy a Switch for one or two games. And despite this, they will still find a way to play the few switch exclusives even if they have to use emulation to do so.
    Overall in the past 12 years I realized how much better PC was, at least for me. Prices on PC are typically cheaper. Since there are far more stores, even when just counting ones that sell Steam keys. Consoles have their subscription services, but I have not been satisfied with any of them. NSO is 50 dollars for a bunch of older games, or 20 for a smaller selection. NSO could be a good deal if you can get otherrs to split the 80 dollar family price with you, but that relies on you others around you wanting to pay for NSO in the first place. I prefer the Steam Deck here anyway.
    Gamepass sounds like a great deal on paper. But I found that I prefer building a library to play from rather than pay for access to a rotating set of games. I also don't like feeling pressured to play a game asap before it is gone. Especially if it is fighting for time with a game that I actually spent money on to specifically buy.
    PS+ base has the problem that typically the games given out each month are ones I already owned either on Playstation or PC. There have been a couple of games I got into because of it, but overall I feel like they got more out of me than I got out of it. So I no longer pay for PS+. The more expensive tiers seem even less of a good deal. They just seem like a worse version off both gamepass and NSO.
    I will say that even if Sony never ported a single new game to PC, I would just deal with it. I'm not hurting for games. I have over 1600 games on my Steam account, and PC is great for emulation and modding. The Steam Deck is also a great companion to a desktop PC imo. Since getting it, I have been playing a lot of my games on it, and since it's a PC, I don't have to re-buy any games like I would on the Switch.

The only drawbacks have been FSR artifacts which might be resolved with FSR 3.1, a delay in FSR frame-generation finally arriving on consoles with impressive performance improvements and some developers' lack of optimization for performance modes upon the game's release.
    2 of those are being addressed and lazy developers are getting chastised for their laziness. If we can play games at 60fps and above with near quality-mode visuals with Frame-Gen and FSR 3.1, then the PS5 is an incredible machine especially for what it offered when it was launched.
    The final thing has been a lack of games but PC is struggling more in that regard.

      Pc isnt struggling games wise, consoles cant play tf2 and alot of popular games idc about, if you want a console get a switch, you can get all games on pc from ps and xbox even if they release late, only get the switch bc those games arent coming to pc, unless you can emulate

      PC literally has all PC games, all Xbox games, most PS5 titles eventually it seems, it emulates everything in the history of videogaming including Nintendo machines, including the Switch! PC never wants for games. It's the King Kong of games.

      @@pgr3290 Emulation, who emulates? I've had this conversation many times. Consoles simplify everything from streaming, gaming, to watching movies, to watching 3d movies on older consoles.
      PCs have their benefits but we can't be comparing a $2,000 PC to a $500 console that plays better games and does everything. You can't put a PC next to a TV in a decent living room.

    Well even if I could afford a pc I don’t think I would change from console to pc !! I think In my opinion if the pc gamer , doesn’t want to wait for a game to come out on pc they have the option to buy a console if they wanted to . Exclusive for me is PlayStation !! Great video guys
