It might hurt, maybe not at a major cost but will wait and see. PS4 didnt suffer from censorship because it became a thing closer to the end of its life. PS5 will be launching with censorship in mind and where it can possibly hurt them is if there competitors advertise there games as uncut versions etc. It also depends how far Sony goes with the censorship. If major AAA games get affected by it or if its just visual novels etc. But we have seen DMC5 get censored and it wasnt welcomed by the community.

Yes i will not by a platform if the games get censored if i can buy the same game somewhere else which offers the uncut version.

You're overselling the impact. I doubt we ever see the effects of this policy outside of games that actively serve to create titillation, which is a market that is most definitely niche. Of course, the odd bigger IP could appear. I won't deny that possibility.

DMC5 wasn't a product of the censorship policy (unless Capcom/ Sony state it was). The JPN version wasn't censored which makes little sense considering the other censored games were censored in Japan, and because the policy affects all regions. The JPN version wouldn't be exempt. 

So then we can expect you not to buy a PS5 because Sony will retain their censorship policy?

Eeeeerrrr he haven't bought a PS4 even before the censorship and with a lot of exclusives. Perhaps also didn't buy PS3 as well. So it isn't really censorship what prevents him from buying PS5.
