Former Sony Exec Says Bringing Games to PC Is “Almost Like Printing Money” for the Console Maker

"The idea is that those people may become fans of a particular franchise, and when a new game in that series comes out, they may be convinced to purchase a PlayStation." Uh no. We're just gonna continue to wait for more Sony games to come to PC. The whole point of why I want these games on PC is so that I don't have to get a PS5. I've bought PlayStations for 4 generations. I'm done.
 
It won't print money if they require a PSN login for single player games.

If they had an exclusive good enough, I could be convinced to buy a console, but after GT7 was a huge letdown, I don't think SONY even has a system seller exclusive anymore. Because I'm sure as hell not buying a PS6 for GT8 after the disappointment that was GT7.
 
I admit - I have bought a system to play an exclusive. And i would do it again, for the right game.

That said, nothing in the past several years has risen to that for me

If that sounds rediculous - keep in mind a lot of folks here talk about throwing down 2-4x the price of a console on GPUs, and often the “justification” is for performance in just a very particular game, or set of games that “need” it. And GPU generations come and go a lot faster than console generations. Not really much different on the face of it - just a lot more money.
 
I want new guitar hero or rock band with all my classic titles. If a new console and game was released that offered that I would be tempted. But probably just get the guitars and use clone hero.
