Still think you'll be waiting a few years with how this is currently working. It's actually very good business doing it this way for Sony. Maybe the timeline will shrink over time.Yup...still want Ghost of Tsushima and The last of us to come over to the dark side though...and Horizon Forbidden west whilst you're still feeling all generous, Sony
They don't but, Sony do like to sell consoles though and probably need to unlike Microsoft with their gamepass model.Tell me again how consoles improved gaming by giving us 4 year delays between platforms and exclusives?

Due to the pandemic, chip shortages and scalpers they can sell at increased prices undercutting the scalpers, yep. But these are temporary factors.
The Last of us is now 3 years old...part 2 over a year. I could safely suggest that those 2 aren't selling any more PlayStations...or at least not to the degree that would influence Sony's marketing practises. Ghost of Tsushima?...almost 2 years old. Forbidden west is the new one in there, as much as I'd like to see it on PC after playing HZD to death for a year...that's not happening.Still think you'll be waiting a few years with how this is currently working.

This way though they'll sell consoles and more copies of the games.
If all PS5 games launched instantly on PC I wouldn't need a PS5 like many as I'd just buy the games on the PC.

Yeah, because there isn't really a reason to buy a console. In essence Sony's business model is outdated, the exclusive strategy barely works and being a publisher would maybe just be the better option.Sony aren't making a loss on the PS5 now, this was announced sometime ago.
Sony’s $499 PS5 is no longer selling at a loss
The PS5 won’t be costly like the PS3.
If Sony put all their games straight to PC on Steam they would lose a lot of revenue from the PlayStation store as you mentioned above. They would also lose subscribers on PS Plus.
If it was good business Rift Apart and Returnal would already be on PC.
I think the gap between releases will shrink but, it won't be day one I don't think. But, sure I could be wrong and Sony might do it. I'd buy all my games on PC then and dump PS+.
Not yet. It's kinda like Horizon 0 Dawn. Everone says it's a good game but console games sell like glue to me. I might have more interest in Tsushima Ghost but tbh, I am more likely to buy a pixel indie game than a console port.
Yup, been playing since it released on Steam and loving it. I must a secret PS fanboy I reckon, loved all the former exclusives they've released on PC so far with the upcoming Uncharted series firmly on my Steam wishlist. The only PS to PC port I've honestly disliked was Death Stranding...Kojima in narcissist mode, not really a good thing
