And Ghost of Tsushima, GT7, and MLB The Show. We deserve these goodies on PC, dammit!Release Bloodborne already.
The more they sell the higher the possibility of launching same day as the console versions in future?
Not necessarily. They will automatically sell much more games if they go for day 1, because the pc games would also profit from Sony's massive multilmillion marketing campaigns for their games and Sony knows this. I don't think the decision is dependant on the sales at the moment, i think they will just wait until they sold a certain number of PS5s and they will do it step by step to not completely piss of the die hard fanboy warriors. I expect day 1 in let's say 3-4 years and before we will see 6-12 months.The more they sell the higher the possibility of launching same day as the console versions in future?
I do believe this is the plan. I pray this is the plan. Spot on, homie.Not necessarily.

Exactly. Additionally, the full price would be more palatable to the PC crowd if the games came day one to Steam.Not necessarily.

Days gone is average bloated open world game with some cool ideas.Those Days Gone numbers are a sin, guess that pc players are more eager to get in the action/adventure blockbuster Sonywagon.
Anyway, i think Sony is really missing not having port yet games like dreams and GT _ the multiplayer persistent genre they're now investing on...

That's your opinion/personal taste. To me Sony this gen bloated their IPs with the cinematic cutscenes that bore me to death when it's exaggerated. To me they fucked up GOD that i loved as a hack and slash/smash and destroy, action from beginning to end game. That's my tastes, to me days gone was a fresh change in Sonys portfolio and a pleasure to play, and I'm not the only one, my son thinks the same and even platinumed the fucker.Days gone is average bloated open world game with some cool ideas.
It already got more hype and praise than possibly deserved
You couldn’t be more wrong and different taste does not clean days gone.That's your opinion/personal taste.

So that's why i said that it's sad it didn't sell better on pc.

It really hasn't hurt MS as far as I can tell. The majority buy a console because they want a console. And if people are willing to buy their own hardware rather than having Sony subsidize it for them then that is almost a plus for Sony. Couple that with what must be ridiculous mark-ups on controllers and the push towards MTX and PC is likely where a significant portion of their long term gains will be.If they do go down this path, I think that's the beginning of the end for their brand.
I say this as someone who would be happy not to have to get a PS5 and have no allegiance as a "die hard Sony fan" whatsoever. I grew up on Nintendo/Sega and despised Sony while they plowed Dreamcast.
So it would not piss me off personally at all if their games went to PC day one. But objectively this is a terrible move trading short term gains for long term problems.
And for 20$ together with miles morales on ps5...Not much reason to complain about the price when the game can be bought for under $50 on cd keys.

I don't think it will hurt them at all. Pcs and consoles are two different things, many people don't want to have a pc. And i bet those who have a gaming rig, would only buy a console + some exclusives, but no 3rd party games and no subscriptions, but that's what Sony wants. So they keep the pc guys on the pc, won't lose many people to pc, but gain the pc gamers that hate consoles. I think Sony will profit permanently from this move. Games are getting more and more expensive and this will help.If they do go down this path, I think that's the beginning of the end for their brand.

I don’t think they will ever launch these big single player games day 1 on PS5 and PC. This will end up delaying the PS5 version from release. A notable community manager confirmed this recently They will keep their approach, also shared by rock star. Maybe get it down to 6 months to a year.The more they sell the higher the possibility of launching same day as the console versions in future?
Yes. If they start selling more on PC than their PS5, Day 1 on PC is a guarantee.The more they sell the higher the possibility of launching same day as the console versions in future?
Their PC sales are peanuts compared to their PS sales. On top of that, they have to pay Valve and Epic a part of their PC revenue.Yes. If they start selling more on PC than their PS5, Day 1 on PC is a guarantee.
Probably not, concurrent player peak for big games is usually on the first weekend after launch. Now that that has passed, its basically down from here on, even during discounts.The Spider-Man Steam concurrent players peak is now at 66,436 and was achieved in the last 24h so maybe can be increased a bit more to get closer to the 73,529 GoW peak.
I agree completely. That why i said Playstation won't release Day 1 on PC until they sell as much on PC as they do on Playstation.The Spider-Man Steam concurrent players peak is now at 66,436 and was achieved in the last 24h so maybe can be increased a bit more to get closer to the 73,529 GoW peak.
GoW was a 4 years old game at $50 after it had sold ~20M at PS where also was included in their game sub. Similar case to Spider-Man but in this case the game sold more in PS and it's sold at $60 which could mean a slightly slower launch.
I think both games will sell way more on PC when heavily discounted, specially in the case of Spider-Man since it's an even bigger IP.
Their PC sales are peanuts compared to their PS sales. On top of that, they have to pay Valve and Epic a part of their PC revenue.
They won't destroy their main revenue and profit source, their super successful business around their console, to get only a few peanuts more from PC.
True, the typical curve in Steam CCU, specially for non GaaS without big updates/dlcs is to have the peak around launch and to decrease after that. As big seller they'll keep decently during some years (GoW is top 65 right now in Steam to sellers) and may have some isolated peaks during big discount/sales, but around half of their total revenue will be generated during its launch window.Probably not, concurrent player peak for big games is usually on the first weekend after launch. Now that that has passed, its basically down from here on, even during discounts.
While they can still sell more, we're talking the long game here, as in they'll probably be selling reasonably well 5 years from now, maybe making it high in global top sellers during heavy discounts, but they won't be more popular than they are now.

That a new mental gymnastics. Incredible.I honestly feel like Sony won't be day 1 till atleast next gen. Would be nice if they released PC ports 6 to 12 months later though at a cheaper price. I
can't see it affecting sales much at all really, anyone wanting to play on PC are used to waiting and the console players will still get the fully optimised coding to the metal experience.
Sarcasm, my fault I should of added "comment not for people who have learning difficulties" my bad.That a new mental gymnastics. Incredible.
Sony expects to increase their amount of PC ports released per year, but also to increase even more their amount of brand new PS only games released per year, which implies that they don't plan to bring all their games to PC. And well, they don't plan to release games day one on PC at least for the current year and the one that ends in 2026.Those PS sales previously were under the assumption that those games would never come to PC. Now that they have widen the PC door, multi-plat players might choose to wait for the PC version for their future PS 1st party games.
Doubt it, as Sony probably still cares about selling Playstations.The more they sell the higher the possibility of launching same day as the console versions in future?
