As someone who currently owns a Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One X, I think it's great that Sony will plan to put more of their first party titles on PC as more people will get to experience some great games. Personally for me it doesn't matter what platform or how many platforms a game is on. As long as the game is good that is all that should matter. I also don't think that this will cut the value of their platform. People who are still looking to buy a PS5 will still buy the PS5 regardless of whether or not exclusives are also going to be available on PC. It's the same with the Xbox Series X as people will still go out and buy the console even if the games are also available on the PC. It's a smart business move by both Sony and Microsoft and when you consider the size of the install base on the PC, no matter how many consoles and games are sold by both Sony and Microsoft, the figures will never match that of the PC.
At the end of the day it's a win for gamers. Plarform exclusivity doesn't benefit anyone. I also don't understand how people think that a game going multiplatform is bad for them. The tribalism around brand loyalty is ridiculous especially amongst the fanboys. People shouldn't get angry that someone else gets to play the same games that you like on hardware you don't own in order to play the games that you like.
I have no doubt this will annoy those in the Sony Fanboy kingdom. It will be interesting to see their reactions especially since they have been bashing Microsoft who have been making their games available on both the Xbox and PC for quite some time now.
I think their reaction will be similar to the script below:
Sony Fanboys - Xbox Fanboys should be mad that Microsoft is putting Xbox exclusives onto PC. It's so stupid and is such a dumb decision and makes owning an Xbox completely pointless.
Sony - Dear Sony Fanboys, we think that what Microsoft is doing by making their exclusives available on both the Xbox and PC is a great idea. So we are going to copy do them by doing the same!
Sony Fanboys - Go into full blown meltdown as the world is now coming to an end. Cancel your orders for the PS5!
