I think Sony President was mainly referring to day one PC when he said they may go more multiplatform. But then again they have seen the Xbox profits feom MLB and Destiny 2, so maybe they will do late ports to other consoles. |
He was, for now. Point is they're following pretty much the exact same road as Xbox, despite people saying Sony would never release on PC, they did, then never do day one, they did, they're slowly pushing the "line" to get their console users okay with the idea, I'm pretty sure we'll eventually see a date where every Sony exclusive is day one on PC.
But if those still don't result in profit margins which they desire? Then they like Microsoft will also start looking at other consoles, look, you can say it will hurt their hardware business but, PlayStation 5 is already selling incredibly well but those profit margins are terrible and that is what a company cares most about, they probably want at minimum 10-20% profit margins.
Imo, they'll watch Marathon, if that performs well on Xbox, they'll start considering porting their other GAAS titles over to Xbox, if I'm being honest? I don't think it will hurt PlayStation in the slightest, at this point there's millions of gamers who buy PlayStation simply because they're entrenched in their ecosystem, millions of gamers who play solely COD, Minecraft, GTA, Fortnite, etc, who have no interest in PC.
And I think in the future, the focus for console hardware will be to always sell it at a profit.
