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. 

You claim to know better than Sony's business executives? Don't you think they have considered PC porting long and hard over the years and crunched the numbers?

I mean there might be a world where you turn out to be right and Sony is grossly underestimating the importance of exclusivity, but they also might have data that shows otherwise.
