Sony going third party is an excellent idea for gamers.

You do realize that companies aren't genies that grant whatever wish you might ask of it, right?  There's not much reason to buy a console from sony if it's games are available on it's competitors hardware. If Sony ever did go third party, I doubt they would keep producing hardware for games. Sony shouldn't go third party though because it's home consoles do the best compared to it's competion. 

Every since microsoft started releasing games on XBO/WIN10 the xb1 sold a 100k more from june 2016 til jan 2017 compared to june 2015 to jam 2016 so there are people that just perfer gaming on console so that enough for Sony to release games on PC and still make consoles. Consoles can still sell well if the games are on PC

You can't contribute the increase of sales to that and that example is not proof that it would sell as well. It's games weren't on pc from launch. If any of the big 3 going third party meant that their exclusive games would be on pc then ms would already be considered third party wouldn't it? That's not what being third party actually means, though. if any of the big 3 did go third party, those exclusive games would be available on all or most platforms instead of just pc because that's what being third party means.

If ms did that, their console wouldn't sell because those games would be bought on the competing consoles. it would be a redundant console. Anyway, MS would never go third party because they want people to use their OS and to buy their consoles. Sony and Nintendo wouldn't go third party unless their hardware sold bad enough a couple times in a row. Sony and Nintendo don't have any OS to market towards anyone so they wouldn't put their exclusives just on pc.
