If anything, this shows their method is working.
Release on console, hit saturation, then release on PC after the fact.

God of War is Biggest and Best Rated Sony PC Launch to Date

Release on console, hit saturation, then release on PC after the fact.
Most PC gamers don't want to own a console (I certainly don't) for various reasons. So either Sony gets my money, or doesn't get at all.
I am so happy, the best game of last gen getting more people to play and love the series, if I had a PC I would buy another copy
Would be great Ragnarok launch simultaneously, just to see a massive record breaking
I am surprised how well received Days Gone is, PC community's is for sure different than most of PS

But the hype would be significantly higher on PC with a simultaneous release. Imagine Ragnarok gets announced day and date after this port given the positive reception. Need to build a foundation for the IP.
I've been watching a couple of streamers (like... three) and I think one or two on the OT complaining about cutscenes. I did say "some" lol
Yeah I'm sure a lot of PC players in parts of the world where owning a console is super expensive just "chose" not to play it. Also the PC players who didn't want to spend hundreds of dollars on hardware for a single game.
What the fuck is with this take lol.
I really don't think it's happening considering they can't even unlock the damn frame rate on PS5. There has got to be some weird shit going on in the background for that game.
The "method" is working better than not releasing the games at all but it's not better than day and date. The bigger the gap in releases, the more potential sales are lost.
"If I don't buy every platform available then I'm choosing not to play it" - bit of a bizarre take. There are plenty of reasons outside of hardware availability but sure.
Exactly. If they can get strong sales with a several years old port, imagine how strong they would be releasing at the same time as the console version, at the peak of all the marketing and WOM.
Yeah, I literally don't have the space on or around my desk for a PS5. Hell, my PS4 barely fits on the shelf next to my router. I love how little space the Switch takes up when docked. We need more tiny consoles lol
Nothing about what any of you said is about not having a chance to play it though. It was a choice. Though i will give a little slack to the people that are getting price gouged in certain countries.
I believe those players will even have more fun with Uncharted 4.
You could skip from stealth/shooting gallery to the next with almost no problem and count your headshots.
Players that are also interested into a complete story might have the big problem with a game numbered 4.
It's not the consumers' fault that the console gaming market was built off walling exclusives behind proprietary devices. I'm glad these companies are starting to come around to the idea that there is money to be made by making their games available beyond their little $400 closed boxes.
I don't get what point you're trying to make. Or rather, I don't get why you're trying to make it. Like yeah, people could've bought it when it came out on PS4, but maybe they didn't have a PS4. Or maybe they were into other games at the time. Or maybe they didn't want to play a 30 FPS action game. I dunno.
Your take is bizarre. Why are you pointing out that technically PC players could've just bought a whole fucking console for one game? Does the idea of greater accessibility to once-exclusives bother you?
I chose to not buy an xbox for specific reasons. So yes i CHOSE not to play the games they put out. I have pretty much every other system though. and no i dont buy xbox games on PC for the most part.
Unlike Horizon, it's an absolutely stellar port right at launch.
PlayStation is putting more TLC into their PC ports than Microsoft/Xbox are and that is hilarious to me.

Congrats on perhaps arguing today's dumbest point.
That being of the "technically, just about everything is a choice, so screw reasonably semantics" variety.
Fans will be modding Bloodborne through PS4 emulation before it ever gets ported :P
Thank you for giving us permission to not buy the console we don't want to buy.
Who is even arguing for or against what here? I am so confused.
I would have thought the narrative that someone chooses not to buy a console for its exclusives and buy it when it releases on PC, is arguing against the console exclusivity.
Platform wars are confusing
Nice. I'm tempted to buy this even though I already own it on PS4/5 since I haven't played it yet. I've been working through the older games first.
Though I think I'll wait until the price drops significantly. The enhancements are nice, but I'm not sure they're "$40-50 nice."
the only way bloodborne is happening on PC is a $70 remake. I hope PC players are ready to pay that cost.

Sorry, I sort of replied to the wrong Alpha post. Here:
Doubtful. It's because of Days Gone having a set of expectations when it launched on PS4 that was far from meeting (next to The Order, it's the worst-reviewed AAA first-party game for the whole gen). By the time it got a PC version everybody knew what Days Gone was about.
Imagine if Spider-Man 2018 came out. I finished that game four times got platinum on PS4 & PS5 - would purchase it just to swing in high fps.
Same, that and ghost are the only two sony games I care about really
Its probably still selling well and didn't reach sales saturation on PS. Why lose sales on PS where they get a 100% cut to steam sales where they get 70%
Till the sales drop and it reaches saturation, it will probably stay PS exclusive.
ah Yes Ghost of Tshumia would be massive. At this point its shown to be a profit machine just port them after 12 months after realise.
You do know that there are countries outside of the US where it's easier and more common to have a PC than a ps4? I know a lot of friends that already had a good enough PC but couldn't get a console since they tend to be overpriced in third world countries. I know it sounds illogical but I'm speaking out of personal experience here.
Lose sales? Most PC gamers in the World don't also own a PS4/5. They could easily sell millions by releasing the game on PC at $50, which is still $10 more than it's available for digitally on PS.
Considering AC: Valhalla is their most successful PC launch combined with Japan being one of, if not the most requested locations, it should do very well.
We just got to have faith in SONY and see what happens. I could see them porting Spider-Man 2018 and Miles Morales when the second game releases.
Nope. For a single-player game its really really good. GOTG day 1 had less than 10K.
It's about 3m sales? If Days Gone was 1m with its concurrent
I'd say that's pretty damn good
