reread my mention of Days Gone I was talking about how it had gone through the price cycle and it was free in April's PS Plus monthly games and  is also available for free as part of the PS5 collection that doesn't mean it isn't selling at all but the sales and margins have dropped. so the extra ROI to be made on a PC Port increases. 

I also know what you are saying but it still doesnt change my point. An exclusive console game might slow down in sales but it doesnt take away its value. As thats the only console you can play that game on Remember the overlap between Console and PC gamers isnt as big as some people seem to think and both markets are not going to eat each other.

If you own a Switch or PS4/5 you have 3 options to play XBox games, Buy an xbox console, Buy a gaming PC(Going to cost more then the console for the same output) use Gamepass Streaming, Halo Inf being on them services in no way lowers the IP's value, and if the game is killer you can bet more people will be buying an XBS/X then going out buying gaming PC's or using their smartphones to play it, All them extra players that are now playing it on their PC or Smartphone are a bonus.

But i have a question do you honestly believe that Sony wont port any of their PS5 games such as Horizon 2 etc to PC until the end of the ps5 life?. At the end of the day the is only so many PS3/PS4 games they can use before they need to start porting newer games in them IP's. I expect Horizon 2 to launch on PC 1.5-2 years after its PS5 release. And thats the release dates i expect for any PS5 game Sony plans on porting to PC going forward is between 1 and 2 years.

Just like you me and every one here I wouldn't have a fucking clue, the whole point was from the beginning based around the question asked of why they would start with UC4 rather than the trilogy remasters.

about the rest it's obvious that this gen has around 7 years to run and the starting and endpoints rarely match, but I can with my fingers crossed (it's a sign of sincerity  here in Tasmania ) promise  you this, Sony won't do day one 1st party on PC or other platforms until their ecosystem is a lot closer to no longer relying  on a console now  whether that's pure streaming or hybrid with supplemental hardware is for fortune-tellers, but then again who knows you may well be right about delayed  releases  it's seems to me that our main difference is, I see more value on the service side needing to be addressed before they move beyond the present policy and the timeline being longer than you do. so let's talk again at the old peoples home. if we can remember that is.
