What money? Sony make a PlayStation PC store to try to compete with Windows store & Steam?

Or do you think Sony would instead release on Steam & Microsoft Store?

If So why not Apple or Google do that Also? Hmm, Amazon..there is a reason they don't its called a Eco system..Playstation is Sony's entertainment Eco system and for the past 20/years they have not ported their games to PC from the ones they make for living room consoles. Now with profits from Mobile they would have less reasons , because they do not make PC's , they do not have a PC platform developers there making PC games any more so why would they port their console games over to PC? The way many act is those games are not that in demand anyway..so which little few they do have they would not port anyway.

 

Playstation is a Game Console company..its a separate whole owned Subsidiary of Sony..

Nintendo is a game console company

Sony owns a game console company that company is "playstation" its a subsidiary conglomerate..

Unlike both Nintendo & Sony

 

Microsoft's owns a :

"division" that makes games and hardware  by Microsoft called Xbox.

And again PC is not in the console market for Sony or Nintendo , it is for Microsoft though.

Still don't understand how that stops Sony for spending 100.000$ or less on developing a PC port, and earning 10-100 millions on it.

Again why spend for it when home brewers will just make an emulator anyway? Or like they already did for the PSP with ISO dumps.

They are not guaranteed to make that profit..so who knows how much they would make on PC anyway..what iP's would PC gamers really care about that Sony 1st party make..all I mainly heard for over the past few years was.well really only GT and Uncharted.. With bloodborne, and many say the Japanese games are just niche games you can already play on PC anyway.

 

The "playstation has no Gamez" 

So what Sony is only going to port a handful over to PC ?



I AM BOLO

100% lover "nothing else matter's" after that...

Proud psOne/2/3/p owner.  I survived Aplcalyps3 and all I got was this lousy Signature.

It is not just 100.000 to make a port. 

Sony studios develop for proprietary hardware which means the porting process would be way harder than normally. Maybe next gen when horsepower is much greater they will do it. 

Not only that if "money is money" then why doesn't Sony sell oil?

Why isn't Sony a banking company?

Why doesn't Sony sell water in the desert?

Its such a weird statement. They are ignoring the PC platform because it doesn't matter for their Eco system. And any exclusives they leak into the PC market would just dilude that eco system.

At most you will see that you can stream your ps4 games to your PC. This ofc requires you to own the ps4 and own the games for ps4.

We might see PSVR be compatible with PC for this reason aswell.

Sony will at most just give PC gamers more of a reason to buy a PS4, not the other way around.
