Can you make a $500 PC from scratch today that will easily play PS5-level games six years from now?
People continue to go to great lengths to make a list for the sake of console warz.
The talking points I've seen has to do with sales. Sony is wanting Nintendo-like sales numbers without having to drastically drop the price or do heavy bundling like they did with some of their PS4 titles.But, likewise, I already own a Series X and can probably expect FFXVI to come to it later? PC gamers who already own a PC could likewise now feel comfortable rejecting any temptation to buy a PS5.
I really don't know what Sony are thinking by essentially ending exclusivity of their games at a time when they need it most.

let me guess it’s $70
Because they make more money that way. They're slowly adopting Nintendo's method of not dropping prices on their big games, but there's a long way to go before Sony's IPs reach that level of staying and selling power.I really don't know what Sony are thinking by essentially ending exclusivity of their games at a time when they need it most

Not sure what you mean by "a time when they need it most", I thought PS5 is selling great and PlayStation is an extremely popular and well regarded brand.I really don't know what Sony are thinking by essentially ending exclusivity of their games at a time when they need it most.

That's hard to gauge since Sony just fixed the supply issues and it's still being outsold by the Switch.Not sure what you mean by "a time when they need it most", I thought PS5 is selling great and PlayStation is an extremely popular and well regarded brand.
Because again Sony IPs aren't in the megaseller range that Nintendo IPs are. Furthermore, Sony doesn't really have to copy Nintendo's business strategy down to the letter.Nintendo's method also includes absolute exclusivity of their titles
It's still selling well, irrespective of how it compares to Switch.That's hard to gauge since Sony just fixed the supply issues and it's still being outsold by the Switch

I think a lot of Square/Sony exclusivity contracts were signed when these games started development-- back before the PS5 released when Sony had money to throw around and was on top. Wouldn't expect if this current round has anti-Xbox deals, but I would expect games that started development in 2020 or later will come to Xbox.But, likewise, I already own a Series X and can probably expect FFXVI to come to it later?
