You sure?  According to an article I read PC is 1/3 of their software revenue and growing.  It generated over $600,000,000 in revenue.  

And the whole dialing back is a rumor, not confirmed.  At the end of the day Sony can do whatever they want, but they will be missing out on millions upon millions of dollars.  Sony releasing games a year or two after ps5 doesn't hurt their sales, it helps their bottom line.  

PC sales now account for nearly a third of Sony's first-party game revenue | TechSpot

edit

Also found this via Gamespot:

"In total, the report said Sony's five top-selling PC releases on Steam have passed 43 million copies sold collectively. The gross revenue from these sales reportedly amounted to $1.5 billion. This includes $1.2 billion for Sony and Valve's cut of $350 million or more. Valve takes a 30% cut of PC game sales on Steam, falling to 25% after $10 million in revenue and $20% after 50 million."

Sony dropping PC support and assuming PC gamers are going to buy a ps5 is foolish and stupid.  Perhaps they do it, but I think people are buying too much into rumors.  

Hmm, I'd be weary of these estimations which is what they are. Lots of guess work here or reports Alinea Analytics being treated like confirmed numbers. For sure though Helldivers is a huge earner on PC and they'll continue to push all live service games to PC day one. Helldivers one also released during a relatively quiet year in regards to single player release so it will also present a more PC skewed revenue balance compared to sonys norm
