They don't have as much leverage as you think a most of their games have already launched and the two that haven't launched yet, are announced for Steam. Given that those that have bought them will always have them on Steam, or EGS, then their only leverage is the games not announced yet, and since we don't know what games those may be, the leverage they have now is zero.

Besides that, there's another reason to stop Sony in its tracks: if they succeed, MSoft will try it again. And MSfot does have a lot more exclusive games that appeal the PC audience.

In any case, let's not get ahead of ourselves and let's see what this is all about. For all we know, it could be a launcher to link us to their Playstation Network so we have our achievements sorry, trophies there to share with other Playstation member that game on console.

Unless.......Sony offers a method of linking your Steam/EGS account to PSN and the games you've already purchased automatically get added to this new hypothetical PlayStation launcher :) unlikely but given how late Sony will be to the launcher party, they'll need to add some kind of incentive to use their launcher besides a shared trophy system.

Yeah, 3 of Sony's weaknesses as far as first party offerings are FPS, RPG, and Strategy. 3 genres MS absolutely own and definitely appeal more to PC gamers. 

Even if Sony gives you the option to link your Steam/EGS and PSN account to import the games, you'll still own them at Steam/EGS. You've bought them there and you'll always be able to download and play them there. Otherwise, they'll have to give youa refund.
