I got that much, but my are you saying that they wouldn't lean to heavily into the PC market because of that? Because my entire point was that lowered demand doesn't hurt them right now. Demand alone doesn't benefit them, and they can't sell what they don't have. Obviously if putting their games on PC somehow cut demand in half it could be a different story, but it should be clear that that isn't the case. I don't disagree that we won't see a drastic change from one day to the other as porting games takes time, but when you write that "they'll continue 6 months - 1 year on some titles" I gotta say that they've never actually ported a game to PC that early yet, so that would be a noteable change and one that I think we will see in the next few years for some titles at least. It's gonna be gradual like you said, but I don't think fear of lowering hardware demand is what's holding them back though, at the very least it certainly shouldn't be. Edit: Okay you were probably refering to Uncharted Legacy of Thieves with the 6 months - 1 year part, didn't really occur to me since it's a remaster of 2 older games, so in my mind it's more like those games getting ported after 5-6 years. |
What I was saying was very simple. They still very much desire to sell hardware at the pace they are selling it. Putting their big games on PC day-and-date with the PS5 versions would be a significant hindrance to that. 6 months to a year is an "at least" prediction, not that they will be moving to that indefinitely. |
If the shortages gets sorted out completely at some point then sure, though even then I think "significant" could be an overstatement.
