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.

Any profit from potentially interested PC gamers is offset by the loss in console sales and subsequently the loss in 3rd party software sales royalties. 

Whether a game eventually comes to PC or not is irrelevant. If porting games to PC loses 10% lifetime console sales and 10% lifetime console based software revenue then porting to PC is like burning money. 

With Xbox in the dumpster at sub 40 million there should be 90 million PS5 customers already. Instead those customers left the console market for PC because Sony is doing everything they can to push them to PC. 

No price cuts. 

Porting exclusives to PC. 

Raising prices on consoles. 

Chasing GaaS instead of focusing on 1st party single player games. 

I don't think so PC gamers rely so much on Sony Exclusives. The big difference in last years is that all Third party Publishers now port games on PC. In Previous generations many Japanese Games were console exclusives now you can play them at PC too.
