Actually you only need one platform to get more quality games per year than on PlayStation in the last years: PC

No matter, where you draw the line for a good game (90+ MetaScore, 85+ MetaScore, 80+ MetaScore, 75+ MetaScore), PC had (slightly) more of them this and last year:

  • 2019 PC:PS4 MetaScore 90+: 4:4, 2020 PC:PS4+5 MetaScore 90+: 5:4
  • 2019 PC:PS4 MetaScore 85+: 21:17, 2020 PC:PS4+5 MetaScore 85+: 25:22
  • 2019 PC:PS4 MetaScore 80+: 84:66, 2020 PC:PS4+5 MetaScore 80+: 63:58
  • 2019 PC:PS4 MetaScore 75+: 144:114, 2020 PC:PS4+5 MetaScore 75+: 130:126

And in 2020 some PS-games even were counted double, when they have a PS4 and a PS5 version (f. e. AC Valhalla, Miles Morales, Dirt 5, Planet Coaster, Sackboy, The Pathless and CoD BO Cold War). So these could be substracted from the 2020 numbers on the PS-side.

PC has the fewest exclusives (Half-Life: Alyx, MS Flight Simulator, Crusader Kings 3, Panzer Corps 2, Stormland, Asgard's Wrath...), but the number PS games it doesn't get can be compensated with "console exclusive games" it shares with Xbox or Switch.

The problem with this methodology is that it equates every game. Its more nuanced than that. PS4 getting FF7R or Ghost of Tsushima is more prominent than the PC getting Monster Train.

That's why I listed the games. If you want to do the entire list, then placing them in the following categories would be best:

  1. AAA
  2. AA/A
  3. Indie
  4. Very popular Indie (Fall Guys, Among Us, Huntdown etc)

Its very obvious to see that Playstation gets the best third party support in the AAA, AA, A areas.

List of PS4/5 games that will not be on PC:

  1. Granblue Fantasy
  2. Project Awakening
  3. Bablyon
  4. FF7R2
  5. FF16
  6. Persona
  7. Sakura Wars
  8. Aegis 13 Sentinels

Why are you so sure that a new Granblue Fantasy game won't be on PC? Granblue Fantasy Versus already is: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1090630/Granblue_Fantasy_Versus/

Why are you so sure that Project Awakening won't be on PC?

Why are you so sure that Babylon's Fall won't be on PC? It was announced for PlayStation and PC.

Why are you so sure that Final Fantasy 7 Remake won't be on PC? Final Fantasy 1 - 15 already are on PC.

Why are you so sure that Final Fantasy 16 won't be on PC? Final Fantasy 1 - 15 already are on PC.

Why are you so sure that a new Persona game won't be on PC? Persona 4 Golden already is on PC and sold very well.

Why are you so sure that Sakura Wars won't be on PC? Most SEGA games already are on PC.

Why are you so sure that 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim won't be on PC?
