We recently reported on news that Sony will all but stop releasing PC ports of its single-player games on PC, and while those previous reports were from Jason Schreier, a journalist previously shown to have reputable insider sources, another insider has corroborated these claims, adding additional c...
I read somewhere else that one of the suspected reasons for it was actually the rising cost of components. Microsoft and Sony are big companies, and have the swing to be able to acquire hardware way easier than the everyday consumer, so in a case of limited supply causing hardware prices to soar, they will get the parts first.
They don’t need to worry about prioritizing the PC market if the only new gamers around are going console due to affordability or availability.
Being said, I already have a 5, I got it a few years back and I lowkey regret it because as a sony fan all my life… it just had nothing for it. Everything I did on the 5 could have been done on the 4 and I don’t feel like the current releases are (or at this point are ever going to be) worth getting, which was likely a big reason for their push into the PC market in the first place.
With the supply and cost issues, that reason isn’t present anymore.
I also got a PS5 and only played my PS4 games on it. I ended up selling it a month ago because it had been gathering dust for 2 years compared to my PC. Not a very high powered PC either. Playstation just can’t compete with Steam and emulation for me
