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.

Stereotyping much? Most profitable because of digital copies instead of physical and longer lifespan of the game. Also CD Projekt Red attracted customers to their own games store: https://www.gog.com/

But this has nothing to do with the thread.

Sony has basically free money lying around in the PC and Mobile market, and that's the same for the PSVR if it comes to PC. If they make their own gaming client and don't use Steam or something else, then yes, it's 59.99$ for each digital sale. Just like Microsoft gets 59.99$ for selling Quantum Break on Windows 10 Store. There isn't even a physical copy for PC as far as I know.

Basically almost zero effort and investment for a lot of money.

Then why doesn't Microsoft or Nintendo put their games on the Playstation 4 because there is a massive amount of money there, or why doesn't Sony put their games and PSVR on the Xbox One because there's defintely money there as well. It's really simple and that is there is no point making your own gaming hardware if you don't have any exclusive software to offer while the companies you are competing against do. Sony's whole business model is to push PS4 sales and they do that by offering people stuff they can only get on their platform. But you can keep begging like you do in the youtube comment section on every Uncharted 4 video.
