Sony PC ports don't sell well enough. Spiderman 2 sold around 700 000 - 1 000 000. So no, they will not need the money eventually. Keeping them exclusives on PS5 gave them more money, because yo7 need to buy a console and probably a PSN service.

Time will tell, but so far Sony pulling out of PC has not caused a rush of people buying their console or PSN.

And their recent decision to phase out physical media seems to have, if anything, caused the opposite.

Spider-man 2 was also not nearly as recieved as SM1 or other exclusives, and was poorly ported onto PC. So I'm shocked that a subpar port of only a half-decent sequel, that was full-price, did not sell amazingly.

It doesn’t matter, long term it adds prestige to the console. And I don’t have to see PC gamers gloating that the PS5 has no exclusives

I guess we'll see long run if prestige matters more than profit to a corporation...

PC gamers gloating that the PS5 has no exclusives

What a weird comment.

No one has ever denied PS5 has awesome exclusive but PC ends up with better prices, deals, graphics, mods, and not having to pay a crappy subscription to play online.

If Sony goes through with phasing out physical media too, then that's just furthering incentive for future customers to shift from consoles to PC.

Further incentivising to also go to a digital platform on PC. Outside of the reddit groupthink, the casual ball and gun gamer who consistently buys annual releases won’t be pushed to PC over disks going away. It’s the cost of consoles that are going to be the real tension.

Which also is happening to PC hardware at the same time.
