This isn't the PS3 era, Xbox is a non-factor now and PC is expensive, so PS is the go-to place to play AAA games in an affordable and convenient way.

Bringing the likes of Spiderman, God of War, and Horizon hasn't caused any dip in PS5 sales, its still tracking in line with PS4 despite costing more.

This does not disprove that PC may still be affecting sales. I explained this in an earlier post. And things will change in the long term as more gamers realize that PC isn't all that different from consoles anymore.

PC being "expensive" is an exaggeration. It's the fastest growing and most popular platform among young gamers, and most of them are fine with playing on setups weaker than PS5. It also gives you benefits like free online. It's just a fact that PC is growing and people are generally more than fine with its pricing model.

There's no evidence that the growth of PC is harming PS sales though; those people would probably have chosen PC over PS5 anyway regardless of whether God of War or Spiderman is available there.
