Tapping into the large 34 million Series user base and the new, growing Switch 2 base will generate billions of new dollars for Sony. I don't see them being very selective in which titles to make multi-plat once that gate is opened.
Sony may be selling a lot of hardware (5:1 over currently over its competitor), but if they're still subsidizing their consoles, that 1 Xbox sale may be making an equivalent profit of multiple PS5 consoles combined. So with no profit being made in Sony hardware sales, it doesn't matter how many units they sale, it is the size of the player base that you are able to reach.
The size of the new Xbox player base now consists of the PC player base, mobile player base, Nintendo, and Playstation. Even though Xbox will continue to make consoles, they no longer have to convince players to migrate over to buying an Xbox.
With everything now being an Xbox, Xbox has successfully created the largest player base ever for their games, without ever having to worry again about how much hardware it is moving. It does make sense for Playstation to chase the Xbox strategy, but I don't think they were prepared to do so, so soon.
...to avoid getting banned for inactivity, I may have to resort to comments that are of a lower overall quality and or beneath my moral standards.
