One game and people explode.

One game is all it takes to set an important precedent.

Rumors about ND games coming to PC, as well as previous comments by Cory Barlog regarding GoW, strongly suggest that many PS games will come to PC. I'm not exploding. I'm just making informed decisions based on available information. PS exclusives were literally the only reason why a have a PS4.

Herman specifically said this is not a precedent though. There are also no credible rumours of other SIE titles coming to PC other than wild speculation. 

You say informed, yet the very basis of your decision is the opposite of informed: speculative. 

If you think PS5 won't have any exclusives then you're going to be in for a rude awakening.

Game awards are one award. https://gotypicks.blogspot.com/?m=1 compiles many just like we use metacritic/opencritic. 

Mate, Video game awards are a joke, there are over 200+ GOTY awards given out every year and many are worthless. Some are even given out from internal studio's official magazines which are heavily bias. 

You have to find the right sites to determine which is worth an award and which isn't. For example, UC4 won plenty of GOTY awards, but from who? Overwatch won majority of the main important GOTY awards from my understanding hence why it was the GOTY that year by the main critics. Death Stranding I haven't even heard of it winning any GOTY awards however not saying it didn't, but so did a lot of other games as well. GOTY awards at least by my standards is based on the quality of the award not the quantity. Because from what iv seen, there is too much crap awards given away. 

So basically it all comes down to your own opinion on what you think is GOTY as anyone can pluck a GOTY award from some random site and claim that's the best game that year.

Your notion of importance is completely subjective. A french enthusiast will find jeuxvideo more important than gamespot. It's also completely irrelevant as GOTYpicks is an aggregate of all awards.

If a game was only critically acclaimed in one area or fan segment it would not be able to get the most awards. UC4 got 63 more awards than OW. Sorry if reality differs from your opinion.

Playstation makes 4 times the revenue Valve does. If you're talking about success, most companies don't come close to Playstation. 

Prove it. No really... A claim like this requires evidence.

Playstation dominated Nintendo because they had exclusives that you couldn't play on a N64 or GC. . 

The Nintendo 64 and Gamecube both had exclusives, some were regarded as the best games of all time.

I misread, seems the estimate only includes sales.

PS revenue FY 2017 - $17.53 billion

Steam revenue estimate FY 2017 - $4.3 billion

There is little Valve can have to make up for another $13 billion though. 

Okay but PS1/2 had far more exclusives and a lot bigger exclusives from third parties.
