2% is 2.76~ Billion.
That's enough to fund the development of half a dozen exclusives and their advertising costs... Which is probably more than what Sony has even released for PS5 up to this point.
Insignificant next to 138~ billion, but not insignificant in pure monetary terms.
Sony did however with three ports... (God of War, Horizon Zero Dawn, and Marvel's Spider-Man) generate approximately $700 million in a fiscal year, so that's a good return on what is essentially a low investment on already made content.
Consequently PC games tend to have long legs with old games that are decades old hitting the top of the sales charts during sale seasons, which probably says more about PC gamers and their desire for a good bargain. |
2% Extra software revenue or 10% less PS5 owners? Sony and MS kill their own consoles by releasing on PC. At the end of the day console owners are way more profitable than selling a handful of extra units on PC. |
That is absolute nonsense.
Console games come to PC whether console manufacturers like it or not. It's called Emulation. - Better to profit on potential interested PC gamers than to alienate them, we will get the games either way.
PC is a much larger market than Playstation... And if Sony's PC ports weren't questionable in terms of features and quality, they may even sell better.
