Finally we've found a stand suitable for the chunk that is PS5.

If all future PS5 games were to be ported to PC within 2 years would you sell your PS5

Uh, that just means it's going to take longer for the games to appear on PC.

Did you not see abundance of crying on the PlayStation Blog article? Reactions are hilarious there

I wouldn't say it's holding me back because as I said I like physical, but Sony putting these games on PC definitely lowers its value. Psn plus games I couldn't care less about as you don't keep them like on xbox.
This gen I will play a multiplat on PC if there's a big gap between ps5 and PC.

I've always been a console gamer through and through, so yeah I'll stick to PS5 just as I did with every PS console generation. Maybe add a Series X alongside to experience Xbox games too

Shit, by the time I'm able to get one at retail, I will probably have all the games for my PC. Will need direct storage in the future, me thinks for PS5 only titles taking advantage of the I/O.

Basically this. If i had infinite money sure, but ive always been a console guy for price and convenience. Also, Anyone bothered by “”their””” games getting ported to pc needs to get their priorities in check

Will always own a beefy PC and the newest consoles.
I would love to play the newest Sony exclusives on my PC though and still play games like Hell Let Loose on my console to try and avoid as many PC hackers as possible.

The results here are very telling.
I'm sure Sony did their research on this as well. They wouldn't risk losing those hardware sales. Yeah they lose money for a year but then it's still profit for them.

Maybe it’s in its natural habitat?

Two years is too long I think. I'd still want a PS5. If it was within 6months I would no longer want a PS5. Especially if they do multiplayer games I'm interested in.
Definitely not waiting a year for multiplayer exclusives. Single player, I might wait a year depending on how interested I am in the game.
Yep very smart. I think based on comments if a 6 month time exclusive to PS5 would change the poll result quite a bit. 2 years is the perfect timing it seems, which they have already tested with Days Gone.
imagine being a person that comes up with the idea of a thread like this.
lol
i feel sorry for you all. console warzzzzzzzzz means alot to you?
who gives a fuck?
Where is the console wars in this thread. This is a gaming discussion, where we discuss games or the industry. Making a poll based on this isn't console wars it's to see speculate how the market reacts based on games no longer being exclusive.
If the OP was lol PS5 is wack who needs one, PC master race is the best. Then I'd agree with you it's a stupid thread but this thread is about polling, speculation on market trends.

I mean... why do you need a microwave when you have an oven?
Do you need a landline phone if you have a mobile?
Why have a mini fridge when you have a fridge?
There are plenty of reasons to have two similar items, and while I could hook up my PC to my downstairs 4k television I find it much easier to just buy a console and plug that in instead.

I use my PS5 and Xbox Series X pretty much every day, and my PC hasn't even been turned on in 6 months, so no

As a predominantly PC player who can afford to regularly upgrade his hardware, I say no. Exclusives are not the sole reason for me owning a console like a PS5. I have many friends who play on consoles and rarely ever PC, if at all. I prefer to play most multiplayer games on console thanks to rampant cheating I've experienced on PC. As for exclusives, if there is a great game I want to play I'm not down for waiting 2, 3, 5 or even 10 years to play it just so I don't buy a console. I have no idea how long it will be before I see those games come to PC and there is always the chance that a game might not ever make that jump for whatever reason. There is no way I was going to wait on Final Fantasy VII Remake to someday be on PC. Nor would I wait for the next God of War.

Pretty much. I got a system with a 5950x and a 3090 in it, and I just ordered another 5950x for the system I'm building with a 6900XT I scored...If PS5 games hit PC within 2 years I really don't see the point in me owning a console.
I still have the PS5(Actually two of them, one in the man cave, one in the living room) and a Series X for the wife...but it's just because ima spoiled brat, and if the games hit PC that would be even more reason for me to be called a spoiled brat lol

Doesn't matter to me, PS5 is the..
I have a Gaming PC, but I wont be waiting 2-3 years for next GoW or any PlayStation exclusive.

Such a weird thread.
Console userbase and PC userbase don't overlap as majority are different demographic. Not everyone is a hardcore gamer that has consoles and a good gaming PC.
Sony's strategy of releasing old games to PC is more of a way to hook PC gamers into buying a Playstation if they want to play the latest sequel to their 1st party games, not the other way around. And make a hefty profit while they are at it.

Well I like to play games at launch to be fair… that is why I’m used to not play old games.
Sony launching old games on PC is basically of non importance for me.
In a hypothetical scenario that games were launched simultaneously on PC and PS5 I may still to play on PS5 due convenience… consoles is really all about that.

Have you seen pc part prices? A console is way cheaper than to make a pc equivalent.

I still don’t have one yet but, as long as I can port all my PS4 pro games over I’ll still get one but all new games will be bought on PC.

Yep, Shawn Layden said in a recent interview that Sony's plan was to entice PC players by giving them a taste of PS games hoping they'll buy into the PS ecosystem
Sony gets more profit and can make more games

I think there is potential overlap but I think the PC market being crazy overpriced due to miners and chip supply issues has slowed down PC gaming alot.
Yes the casual COD and FIFA players will still be gaming on consoles. But those players only buy few games a year where as the gamer who plays a ton of games that potential loss of more revenue to lose these type of gamers to PC.
But like I said PC gaming is way too expensive in this day an age but if it does ever get cheaper I think there is risk of losing some people to PC gaming or people who own both to just stick to PC only.

Yeap it makes sense.
Release Horizon 1 on PC to bait some PC gamers to PS5 to play Horizon 2.
Release GoW on PC to bait some PC users to PS5 to play Ragnarok.
Win win.
