They just announced a $700 console with no disc drive.. does that seem to you that they are worried about PC in any way?

Worried?  They are joining the PC bandwagon.  Last I checked all the top ps5 games are on PC.  

Given Sony is charging $700 for the Pro and is releasing all their games on PC, I think they are more interested in being a software company than a hardware.  

Idk about that. Unlike Microsoft, Sony has always been in the hardware business. 

That being said though, PC gaming has the most to gain going forward. A lot of people try to say that PC gaming isn't in the same market as Xbox or PlayStation, but it absolutely is. I hate to break it, but if I buy the upcoming Silent Hill 2 on PC, which I am planning on doing, that's a sale that ISN'T going in favor of Sony despite the game being "exclusive." Same thing goes for any 3rd party game that's available on both PS5 and PC when I choose to buy the game on PC. Of course the rule also applies to Xbox. And if console prices continue to go up, which it seems they most certainly are, there are going to be those that will just make the jump to PC. 

Xbox already supports Achievements, Saves, and Gamerscore on PC the way you would on an Xbox console. Now that it seems all future PlayStation games being ported to PC will now require a PSN account, even single player games, with Ghost of Tsushima being the first to have Trophy support, it seems like it's only a matter of time before PlayStation is fully incorporated into PC gaming the way Xbox is now. Granted, minus day one new AAA single player games........for now.
