That's the thing though, i believe MS will go for the throat and just pricematch them into oblivion.
With Sony with PS4 showing they want to keep price low and be profitable from the start, i don't think it's impossible.

PSB: Speaking of experimentation, there have been rumors of a Horizon Zero Dawn complete edition that might be coming to PC… can you confirm or deny that?
HH: Yes, I can confirm that Horizon Zero Dawn is coming to PC this summer…. There will be more information coming from Guerrilla, from the new studio directors [Michiel van der Leeuw, JB van Beek, and Angie Smets] pretty soon.

A 9.2TF PS5 wouldn't be a problem for Sony (or me). I'm already expecting it to be around that power level. If it's higher than that, cool, but 9.2TF is still a huge jump over base PS4/XB1, and that's just talking about the GPU. The CPU, storage, and memory will also be huge leaps over current gen. I'm also expecting PS5 to be cheaper than the Series X if it does actually end up at or around 9.2TF.

Can't see any reason to be upset about the HZD PC confirmation. I hope this thread doesn't turn to shit again.
Hermen also said this, for those interested:
"And to maybe put a few minds at ease, releasing one first-party AAA title to PC doesn't necessarily mean that every game now will come to PC. In my mind, Horizon Zero Dawn was just a great fit in this particular instance. We don't have plans for day and date [PC releases],... "

Not that I believe 9.2 either, but what makes you so certain?
Sony was in a completely different positions an entire corporation 7 years ago. They can absolutely afford a loss even initially even if it isn't ideal. The cost of the two consoles is said to be very similar so unless Sony made some really bad design decisions 9.25 TF is not realistic. Literally the only thing pointing to a 9.25 TF GPU is a hardware test on Github that could mean nothing. Literally everything else points to the two being very similar. One the most reliable insiders(Matt) here said the difference will be negligible.
Because people I believe have said the two consoles are basically twins. 9.25 and 12 is not a negligible difference.
Every new SIE announcement discussion will from now on be filled with comments such as "will just wait for the PC version" and "when is the PC release?". Can't wait /s.
At least they confirmed their "plans" for PC. Which is good.
I still think it's a bad idea to "devalue" the platform by launching an exclusive game on PC, but we will see that this will result in more people buying Sony consoles or not. I can see many people not buying a PS5 because they will think that a possible Horizon 2 will be released for PC as well.

There is nothing to devalue at all.
Sony knows that there is a sizeable amount of people that will stick to PC no matter what and they want to serve these people with their games, it's simple.
And releasing a game after 3 years since the original launch is not going to devalue your platform.
It's no doubt gonna hurt console sales and everything which comes with that (PS+ subs, revenue through the PSN Store), the only question is if the profit from the PC releases will make up for those losses or not.
Well, it excludes the fact that you need to have that hardware to play that game. It's like saying that Stranger Things being released on Amazon Prime and Disney Plus does not devalue the Netflix subscription
It's all PR talk, but I'm guessing that astute observation is your oh-so-subtle way of saying you think he's talking horseshit.

Interesting. I wonder how they chose HZD out of all games? Because Kojima laid the groundwork for a port with Death Stranding. They say they are still committed to exclusives so we will see how this goes.
People that were/are interested to Horizon already bought the game back in 2017 or 2018.
Sony is launching Horizon on Steam to bring the game to another audience not interested in a game like this, they are not trying to sell Horizon to people that are interested in Horizon by bringing the game on PC.
Steam has an audience of over 90 million users and a reaches a lot of more countries than PSN for example, just think about China, PC is more popular than consoles by a big margin, chinese steam users seeing Horizon on PC is way more appealing than having to buy a new console.
I am interested in seeing just how good it will look on PC, along with the modding that is sure to come. HZD x Dino Crisis anyone?
Cause HZ2 is much probably a launch window game for PS5.
Then port it to other consoles too?
I mean, those people are missing out too.
I don't really care either way but the discourse for a new first party announcement would be insufferable from this point onwards.

Love random Tuesdays.
Also I'm excited for Horizon on PC. Just bought a new gaming laptop so this works out well.
Is it safe to assume Death Stranding was a major contributor to this port?
I also don't think Sony exclusives on PC will hurt console sales to any noticeable degree.

They are not going to port something to Xbox, just like Xbox is not going to port their games on PlayStation, they are competitors.
MLB The Show and Mineacraft are the only two exceptions.
PC is not seen as a competitor.
Man Sony is on some bullshit. We already knew that HZD to PC was happening, but we are talking about PC ports as the news of the week when everyone wants PS5 info?
At least, PS5 is still planned for 2020
PSB: You've been with the company for a long time, you know what goes into a hardware launch year. A lot of challenges and opportunities that studios face, including Worldwide Studios. What are the teams focused on right now?
HH: You know, these are the most exciting times when you develop on a console. We are super hard at work at the moment… and honestly, I can't wait to talk to you in more detail about that.

3 years is a pretty big gap in terms of launching on other platforms, especially considering how fast the industry moves so it makes sense for Sony to do it this way. Plus Horizon is generally dirt cheap now on PS4 anyway. Hopefully PC owners have a great time with the game.

It'll be interesting to see what he means by experimentation. Are we talking about PSone-era Sony type of stuff where they were batshit crazy in terms of coming up with news ideas? Or are we talking about SIE studio's dipping into established genres that some feel don't get enough attention right now?
