Actually, according to the very interview you linked, he says the sales were better on PC in Poland, he didn't say world wide. Pretty sure Ps4 has sold the most copies.

 

And almost every major game sold better on Ps4 than PC. Not sure the point you wanna make with that.

 

The android market and iOS market are big, but that's a long term bigger picture scenario that is not something they should push right now. What I suggested is Sony releasing a non gaming slated VR headset that was designed to interface with modern smart devices, including smart phones, tvs, basic PC apps etc. it would be of lower quality but very consumer friendly in price - and I hope they do this. But from a strategical point of view, the mass market has a very short memory and if VR doesn't gain traction the device will be left to die. This is in stark contrast to, and also why Sony should appease their core gaming audience first - who are far more likely to invest big $ into software and accessories, while generally supporting it as a platform for a longer time.

Even if it sold more copies on the PS4, what's the point in bragging with that, when the most profitable platform for them was PC due to digital sales and GOG.com store? Do you think Sony can keep making exclusives when they don't even sell 1 or 2 million copies on the PS4? Infamous Second Son is the best selling PS4 exclusive (not including remasters) at 2.69M on spot #26. So the top 25 are 23 multiplatform games and 2 remasters. 

So if the PSVR comes to PC also expect some of their exclusives to come too.

Oh? Most profitable despite the rampant piracy only available on PC, and the constant flash sales/digital discounts synonymous with the platform?

 

And that statement about how Sony exclusives sell, you were literally just acting like 1.6 million sales on PC at full MSRP $60 with 100% profit margin is a reasonable forecast for Sony if they went Multiplat. Now you're backtracking and saying how they only sell 1 or 2 million on PlayStation platforms, which means they'll sell moderately to significantly less on PC - a paradox presented by your logic.

 

Sony will keep their exclusive games on their exclusive platforms, save maybe mobile gaming, which is friendly to the ps4 anyway. They do not support competing platforms, period.
