It hurts the potential of the platform.
PlayStations biggest strength is their exclusive content and the fact that it is only on PS consoles creates a type of scarcity..... and in economics scarcity increases value.
By putting their games in more places, it lowers the value and makes them less special. Nintendo understands this concept thoroughly and after decades everyone has been conditioned to KNOW that you HAVE to buy a Nintendo console to play Mario or Zelda or Smash Bros or Metroid etc....... they have been rewarded for conditioning their customers with massive sales of their exclusive software...exceeding 40 million in many cases.
Now Sony have NO CHANCE to hit those types of numbers. They have no patience, no understanding and no real ambition for the brand. Just a scurry for short term pennies.
I bought a Switch when I wanted to play BOTW, why can't people accept that they should buy a PlayStation to experience their exclusives?
