Because Sony reps said so several times that their strategy is that, to bring some PS exclusives to PC to entice them to buy a console.

Well they know nothing about PC gamers. That's their strategy, but it will not work. To sell you games to PC gamers you need to put it on PC. The vast majority will not get a console no matter what. Their strategy won't work. The best they can do is go day-n-date releases to maximize sales of their software. Their console sales won't change or it will be a fraction of a change.

That is your view, still I preffer to believe they have a very good strategy team, considering all the success they have made on PS4 and now 5. You asked why so many say it and now you have it, so you can either accept or keep complaining of people saying that is Sony strategy.

You're so wrong, so many PC gamers will love Horizon, god of war, that it will make them want a ps5 when they look at the other exclusives on the platform. A gamer usually tends to love good games. Hence why I also bought a switch even tough I already have a powerful PC and a PS5, because I like videogames, and there's more than enough exclusives to warrant a purchase, then again, I get around 2500 dollars savings per month, I could buy all 3 platforms with 1 months savings. And I believe there's a lot of PC gamers, who spent 2000dollars on their PC who wouldn't mind paying 500 for a ps5.

Oh I know there will be a few people who actually do get a PS4/5 for the sequels, but the vast majority will not bother at all. And there are those who will just get PS games on PC and not bother getting a PS5 even though they've owned previous systems. My point is what Sony is doing will not affect console sales or it will be just a fraction that it's not noticeable. Instead what they will see is their software sales are up.

But what you forget is the casual market is by far the biggest market. They don't care about exclusives, and will still buy the consoles. Your mindset is about the "hardcore" gamers which is literally a fraction of the entire video game market. They don't care about games going to PC, they will still buy the consoles.

With Sony's new approach, the majority will stick to their platform of choice, no one argued otherwise. But putting their games on PC day and date should have a significant impact on console sales. At least a dozen million players would move to PC.

Sony's exclusives are huge now and are an undeniable driver for sales. Taking out exclusives off PS5 would hurt its sales potential. Exclusive deals wouldn't exist if they don't affect hardware or subscription sales.

Quite the contrary it won't have much, if any negative impact on consoles sales. If anything this might actually drive up sales in the long term due to them opening up the games to a larger audience and give the games/franchises more exposure. Like the people who don't currently have PS console to play it on now have the chance to experience the first GoW. And might want to get a PS4 or PS5 when the Ragnarok releases.

Like I'm a primarily a PC gamer and I still get consoles for the exclusives. I'm sure as hell not waiting years to enjoy my hobby. To each to their own, going to double dip on this too once price drops :P

Wow what a reply!. Did i touch a nerve?..Guess i did. Why would i be crying when my platform of choice is getting all the games.

Sorry if yours is losing exclusives by the new time, and yet many a sony fan tried to make a laugh of xbox fans in the past for the same thing.

I guess karma is a bitch for you Sony fans cos it always seems to come around to bite ye in the ass. Did you have fun slagging Xbox users when their games came to pc? this why your so bitter now?.

Jesus...

You're a well known PC fan who constantly harassed Playstation fans minding their own business. You made poor predictions and pushed narratives that were proven false over time. Have some self-awareness before you make fun of others, doubt their sincerity, and belittle their opinions.

I know you want to pretend that we care, and some of us do, but I don't. And I'm sorry to break it to you, but the day and date shit isn't happening across most titles. I'm going to end up buying a PS5 for exclusives, which will then give me accessibility to countless multiplats too (coz my current GPU is a modest GTX 1060 6GB). You came here to stir shit up, directly take jabs at Sony fans, and assume their intentions. You seem deeply hurt over our indifference to Xbox. Relax, a lot of people love Xbox. It does have a place in the industry as does Game Pass.

I don't "hate" Microsoft for what they're doing. Their support is one more reason why PC is becoming such an amazing platform, and one more reason why Xbox is completely irrelevant to me. PlayStation is not gonna copy Microsoft's approach no matter how much you beg for it. And if it does miraculously happen, then cool. If Sony want to limit PS5's success potential, that's their choice. I thought what MS did was poor from a business perspective, and I will say the same thing if Sony follows suit. Are you upset that I'm consistent?

You love to label me as a "Sony fan" (this isn't your first tantrum against me) as an attempt to belittle my takes because I said some harsh truths about Xbox that clearly hurt your feelings. The truth of the matter is... I'm no longer a "Sony fan" but I still am a "Playstation fan" because Playstation was, is, and continues to be the best supported console in the business. Why wouldn't I be a fan?

For a "Sony fan", a few Sony developed games got me interested last gen. The few I played were gigantic disappointments to say the least, each and every one of them (I view God of War as one of the most overrated games of all time. But ultimately, my opinion is irrelevant. Countless gamers love Playstation 1st party titles which will only grow much bigger this generation). The only 8th gen Sony games I adored was Bloodborne, credits mainly go to FromSoftware, phenomenal developers. You are a selective reader.... so those takes always flew over your head just because I criticize Xbox.

Before anyone else replys to me this is how it is.
Console Fan on this site be happy that more people are going to be able to play them games you like.
Be happy that the people who make them games are going to get more money! and be happy it means more sales is better for everyone who likes gaming.

And no one in this thread acted unhappy. Go on Twitter, I'm sure you'll find countless Playstation fanboys getting upset, your advice is much better suited there than here.

In Brazil there are some fans going to a platform dedicated to complain against companies for breaking consumer rights to bash Sony and ask for a government agency to sue them for misleading marketing because they only bought PS4 because of GoW and now PC is getting it for cheaper, with more content and higher quality than PS4 gamers at a time. It is totally moronic complains one after another. And don`t worry, the one Zero was taking jabs against was me not you.

Will it come before or after Uncharted Collection? Also, never played it, but from videos I watched, it looks like its gameplay is heavily console controller-oriented, will Sony keep it this way and suggest PC gamers the purchase of a controller, if they haven't one yet, or will it adapt it more deeply than in an essential way to mouse and keyboard?

They said it is compatible with DS4 and Dual Sense, but probably will have KB+M

I wonder if this PC version will get released on PS5 and bundled with Ragnarok



Oneeee-Chan!!! on 25 October 2021

Well, imagine how much money Sony can make off of this.



Azzanation on 25 October 2021

I know it's a sensitive topic for some, however this is great news to me. Its showing the industry working together bringing more games to more people, much lime when PC games cross to console. It will be an odd adjustment seeing games like GoW and Uncharted in the same library as Halo and Gears.

People do all sorts of crazy shit I'm not surprised. Though I'm not going to demonize them for feeling bad about it lol. I hear consoles cost a fortune over there.

The vast majority of notable "exclusives" these days are timed, some of them generational. It's nothing new. It is new for Sony's games to be on PC. If I don't like that, I'd skip Playstation and get/use a PC instead, problem solved. If I can't afford a decent gaming PC, then I never picked the console for exclusives so I'd stick with consoles and let PC folks enjoy the game alongside me, or pick another console... or find a new hobby!

Oh I swear his jabs are indiscriminate. Any outspoken Playstation fan will get a taste of those cheeky fists of judgement.

Consoles are expensive here, but gaming PC even more. Someone complaining they had to pay 500 USD (I would say it was more like 400 at the time GoW released) certainly wouldn`t have a gaming PC that matched the console. For you to have an idea right now a PS4 here costs about 800USD (taxes and all included), 4400 BRL, a RTX3060 only already costs 4000BRL and a 3070 is 7000BRL. Over here someone that could make a rig that would match the PS4 at the time or a PS5 right now aren`t the ones that would complain about having to buy a PS4 (and well, considering that right now PS4 used costs more than a PS4 new at 2018 because of dollar rise, they could just sell their PS4 and recoup all that money).

Well, Zero is a know person on VGC =] (just not sure why only a topic ban since he was doing things that would be general ban).
