| pokoko said: If the the sales on PC are "negligible" then what is all this "brand damage" people are talking about? It does not appear that PlayStation owners are jumping to PC en masse so the brand damage claim doesn't hold much water--at least for now. They might be worried about people skipping PS6 if supplies are stressed for a long period. |
A 20% increase in overall 1st party software revenue due to PC support is a negligible gain compared to a 5% customer loss caused by PC support. If Sony concludes from the data they have that 5% or higher of players already left Playstation because of PC, then it only makes sense that they dial back on it.
For every lost Playstation customer, they'd be losing thousands of dollars per generation. The long term implications are serious.
