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

And $50 for a 4 year old game. Sony is ruthless and hilarious.

No, I still prefer console gaming. More bang for your buck, and more convenient.

Do you know what i wonder?And pay $50 to play old PS4 games years later. Such a great value
How many people that bought Days Gone and Horizon on PC had previously bought the same games on PS4 and simply double dipped. Has Sony ever mentioned about this? Or can they even have data about this? Probably not...
I have a feeling a good part of their PC audience could be people that bought them on PS4 and then again to replay them with ultra graphics. Not the majority obviously, but it could be a nice %.
I don't get the outrage for this. More sales, healthier studios, possibly more teams and games coming out faster from each studio. We all win.
Release Days Gone on PC to bait PC users to oh wait?

Im sure Sony made a calculated risk of releasing games on PC for maximizing profit by introducing its games to a wider audience at the potential and unlikely minimum risk of loosing existing consumers to PC.
As the poll has demonstrated on a hardcore gaming forum, the risk of pushing existing consumers away from their ecosystem is minute.
And yes, like you said, the current PC prices will only discourage people from leaving the console space. The current PS5 prices to Specs value is a steal IMO.
2 years is the perfect timeframe.
Year 1 the new hot game FOMO buyers
Year 2 GotY edition it's on sale
Ywar 3 PC port

To makes petitions and flood Sony’s Twitter asking for a sequel
The bait only works for successful games that have planned sequels… for these others considered failures they will release to get more money from it.

Nope. I like to sit on a comfy couch to play games. Also, console gaming is just far less problematic. I have a gaming laptop for any games not on PlayStation, but mainly play on my Ps5. See no reason to change right now.

Yes. Yes I would.
PC given the nature of its hardware will have always the best version of any Xbox or PS5 game (unless intentionally crippled) but this does not change the cards in play. Those who chose the console over the PC from the beginning did so for its innate simplicity or for an economic factor. Things haven't changed

The exclusives can go on PC day one and I still wouldn't sell my PS5.

PC gamers will get them early in PS6 lifecycle so around 2027.

I generally prefer the crash free console experience, however the thought of one device to play PS5 and Series X games is nice. That said graphics cards are too much for this to make sense right now, this could change in a couple of years. Maybe next gen if this is a thing?
I haven't played on PC in years. Is it really a crash/bug ridden experience. I thought nowadays PC ports are decent enough.

Yup. I can see some gamers not wanting to wait 2-3 years to play these sequels. I think it's a very sound strategy

yup; have a gaming PC in my living room.
60-120fps, 4k native res min., custom graphics settings, etc.
have a huge games backlog already.

What if I told you I already sold my PS5, but not for this reason?
I work with computers all day. I've never really liked playing PC games, though I used to in the past. Just felt too much like like using work tools for fun. I prefer the ease of use of consoles, and I'm sure I always will.

No way. Also 2 years is a pretty long time and there are a lot of Playstation exclusives that are just too good to wait 2 additional years for them. It may sound stupid for some people, but there is a certain magic to playing Playstation games right away (or any newly released games that are graphically impressive regardless of platform, but most of those are on Playstation anyway).
I also don't mind if those games come to PC two years later. The more people buy them (especially single player games) the more money they get and the more they can invest in their next Playstation exclusive games. I wish Nintendo would do the same.

I thought all PlayStation gamers has a gaming PC? This has already been proven false by just looking at this thread.

Even if I did manage to find a reasonably priced GPU to upgrade which I doubt, I'd probably still play mostly on PS5. There's just something about having dedicated gaming hardware that feels right. Closing the VPN for work and then opening a game on the same machine just doesn't feel as relaxing.
Edit: Having games instantly play and work is also a big bonus. I don't have much patience for troubleshooting these days and I find the whole concept of launching launchers from launchers in order to launch games more ridiculous by the day.

Na.. why would I wait for a PC port when I can just play it on PS5? I can play it on PC too if I want but I won't deprive myself of having access to games and waiting for ports.

Nope. If it was 1 or two months maybe but even then would probably keep the PS5 to play Certain games with my mates.

Nah, if they're games I'm really interested in I'd still wanna play them ASAP. Two years is a long time, especially with games.

A big part of the appeal of a console is that its a different sort of device to a PC. Out the box, its built for purpose.
PC's are great, but you can't directly replicate that pick-up-and-play experience. And the truth is why would you want to when the greatest strength of PC is its versatility? You have tons of settings and options to refine your experience, and then there's the modding scene and all those benefits on top.

Nope. Also, my suspicion is Sony is going to move to a 6 month to one and a half year timed exclusivity period between PS5 releases and PC releases. In this generation I believe we will see God of War Ragnarock, Horizon Forbidden West, Spider-Man 2 and Wolverine all make it to PC.
I'd argue things are starting to be less clear.
Although PC gaming has so much versatility, you can just buy a game and play it, most recent games have autoconfiguratuon that give you a reccomended setting when scanning your computer. You have big picture mode, Valve is even going to expand that with Steam Deck. PC can be as complex as you want as well as simple as you want.
With console gaming, you now have patches, updates for games and even the system and controller. Games now starting to give more options like performance and graphics modes. Yes console gaming is very simple but I can see a few things from PC gaming starting to appear from consoles. Even the consoles themselves are starting to look PC like they are not nice small boxes anymore. The PS5 is a quote big and doesn't fit in every cabinet.

Not to a non-techie they aren't.
Consoles are always going to be simpler devices because their basic scope of usage is so much narrower.

Nope. Console eco system is much better then PC. Family members don't have to buy the same game multiple times.
Single store versus multiple stores. The possibility to play confurtably seated on a couch on a 65 inch TV. And all this for half the price of a PC.
So, nope...

I'm a PS5 and Switch gamer. I don't care about any other platforms and which games they got.

NO !
Wtf am I going to wait 2 years to still pay full price for a 2 years old game ?!
Miss all the hype and day one myster, spoil most of the game ... only to play in pain and misery of pc for way more money (lol, yes I have 3080... fe!)
From now on, if a game comes out same day on ps5 and pc, I am considering ps5 version. I always make the same mistake and go for pc version which have some trouble and makes me spend too much time not playing.
But back to the question - I might double dip if the port uses my pc well enough but for most part, I want to play day 1
