It's not a necessity for PlayStation to port their PS5 exclusives to PC. Sony's exclusives are profitable before they're ported to PC. Even Sony's non-superstar games, like Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart, turned a profit on PS5 alone (https://icon-era.com/threads/ratchet-and-clank-rift-apart-was-profitable.8211/).
Sony is just chasing extra profits. It's greed. Not a necessity due to modern bloated development costs.
> Nintendo is maintaining it for now but how sustainable it is remains to be seen.
They at least acknowledge the issue of raising costs and want to keep their dev times reasonable (pic related from their mot recent investor Q&A).
These are the types of questions Xbox and Sony should've been asking themselves during the 7th and 8th generations, when budgets/dev times skyrocketed. Instead, they doubled down on that red ocean, with 7 year dev cycles for AAAA games that chased hyper realistic graphics. Now Playstations' 1st Party output is the weakest its ever been, with the platform only supported by turbo normies. Xbox's entire hardware business is in the shits. And most of the Western AAA games industry is in the shits. Great job guys.
