Important quote -

"I think the best way that we can address this is by providing the best possible value proposition that we can. I don't necessarily mean lowest price. Value is a combination of many things. In our area it means games, it means number of games, depth of games, breadth of games, quality of games, price of games... all of these things and how they avail themselves of the feature set of the platform."

So glad they are focusing on next gen exclusives. Wanna see what Devs can do without being held back.

"That's the challenge I've set the teams: try to get that community, the 100 million people -- and all of the people who don't have a PlayStation we'd like to talk to -- just as excited as if they were in the E3 auditorium, or if they were watching the stream."

Good decision. I bet Sony is looking at E3 presentations of recent years and wanting to replicate the levels of excitement that really makes it feel like a shared experience. It's tough to execute on that right now, so I'm not surprised they're hesitant.

100% agree. It is definitely not everyone's preference I understand but really investing in next gen rather than committing to years of cross gen titles is a huge plus to me.

"Breadth of games" - I guess if we're willing to speculate pricing based on this comment why not also speculate the possible BC implications.

Microsoft.

That being said, It's Sony's choice, and if they think it makes most business sense for them, so be it. I'm not gonna "expect" them to port everything to PC.

I'm just happy we're getting Horizon Zero Dawn on Steam. If they. wanna put more interesting games on PC, I'll probably buy them. If not, plenty of other stuff to play.

Sounds like no first-party crossgen games are planned.

Thank God, don't want their premier stuff held back by old hardware.

Thank you Jimbo! Exclusives games developed from the ground up on PS5 is what I want! This is a policy I'm happy to put full support on. Thank you.

Super curious to see if/how game design is affected when they don't even have to consider having their games run on anything other than the SSD in the PS5.

"We have always said that we believe in generations. We believe that when you go to all the trouble of creating a next-gen console, that it should include features and benefits that the previous generation does not include. And that, in our view, people should make games that can make the most of those features.

For everyone in the GT7 thread saying it would totally makes sense for it to release on PS4.

Sony will not make any cross gen exclusive games.

Yeah, I agree. Horizon Zero Dawn is a nice surprise. But I would not expect other exclusives to come to PC. And if they do, it's a nice surprise. If you want those exclusives you should just buy a PS5 instead of holding out hope for a PC release though.

PS4 games with expected sequels on PS5 make the absolute most sense for candidates to release on PC right now. Get a bigger audience invested in the game world and maybe they'll spring for a PS5 to play the next entry if it's only available there.

So expect a Knack and Knack 2 collection on PC in advance of Knack 3.

Have fun with Horizon. It really is a good game and I am glad that more people will get to experience it. If I were a betting man I'd say it will not be the last Sony game to appear on PC eventually so I hope you get to play some more.

No matter how nicely he tries to frame this, it's still a pretty scumbag move on Sony's part to not release their exclusives on PC.

What in the world? If this isn't /s, you should be ashamed of yourself. Sony owes you, and by extension, PC players nothing.

Is music to my ears. I'm glad somebody gets it.
