Clever thing. The more their old exclusives sell on PC the more money they can invest on NEW exclusives for their console business. Not to mention that when the PC peasants see the quality of those old exclusives they will probably buy a PS5 to play all the new ones sooner. 
It's a win-win situation.

arent all consoles sold at a loss? cutting that out in the long term is just making money on software.

It is pretty clear that the Sony Hardware is the primary set-piece and then they release later on PC for maximum return on investment as well as indirect marketing of the Sony brand.
Not sure what the fuzz is about - it is a very sound strategy. Owning their console still allows you to play their games for the least amount of money (factoring in the hardware cost) and in addition years ahead of the PC crowd.

The correctly translated quote:
Jim Ryan: "We will make sure the PlayStation 5 generation has more exclusive software on PC than ever before!"
Edit: On a serious note I think Ghost of T will be next. And it's a stunning game already so hopefully they give PC users all the bells and whistles.

Double the price on Steam, half the price on Epic. Like $50 on Steam but $25 on Epic (Horizon Zero Dawn / Death Stranding).

This is truly the end times
When people buy their games from steam, they make profits.

I think is releasing a game on PC after the game Sales stagnated on ps5 is logical move
want to play day one ?? buy a ps5
it is a win win situation
they will have more money which is a plus
at the same time guarantee game preservation this way
also Sony investing in epic means they want to enter PC gaming space

I don't get people who think like this. It's like saying movies are not worth seeing in theatres because the director's cut will be out on Blu-Ray and streaming services later on anyway.

Shame to waste that money on a PS1 when FF7 was going to come to PC anyway...
Surprising lack of tech appreciation on this forum even now...

I prefer movies in my home, than movie theaters. There's nothing like putting together your own audio setup, and having way more immersion, depth, and visuals, that just don't cut it in theaters.
You want the best experience in a game? The game being released on ps5 and PC, will show a clear winner. Plus you can get all dual sense features in the games on PC as well?! Can't beat that.

Good find. Anyone thinking it's a nothing burger? Activision haven't bothered setup a basic publisher page on Steam like Ubisoft did.
So it looks like a Sony is committed to PC. With its diverse quality back catalogue potentially getting ports (pure speculation), they could become a bigger player than EA, Activision or Ubisoft. There's so many excellent PS3 games out there waiting for a second chance.

Epic wants to nurture good relations with industry leaders, obviously. What they're doing is allowing Sony to invest ahead of the IPO, essentially giving them free money. If that results in timed exclusives or deeper cooperation and such, remains to be seen.

I mean you can’t. Blood borne Spider-Man God of War Last of Us Nathan Drake Collection etc. none of these games are on PC.

Do exclusives drive sales? what is the top games on playstation? i bet its multiplatform games like gta / fifa / fortnite. Let's be honest here, while people like games like tlou2 and god of war. they are pretty much filler games for most people.

As of right now. They just setup shop, with this new finding. I don't they are making a Sony store, just to sell the already existing games on steam right now, with only the addition to days gone. I'm pretty sure this is literally just the beginning of it, and GoW seems to be next on the chopping block. Hopefully Bloodborne beforehand.

Good for Sony. They only made $22 billion in revenue from their ps division last year. Company posted only $10 billion in profits from an 80 billion revenue stream. They need the extra cash to survive the pandemic.

Well.... You dont have to wait and pray that those games gets released on pc and you save money, after a console is always cheaper.

Asking the real questions here. Would be interesting if they opened up the flood gates, and released everything on all platforms.

The fan warriors will still find some delusional reasons like pc can't play on TV and couch, forever tinkering settings, forever upgrades, etc...
If PC peasants wanted to play those games with "quality" (pathetic performance, options and meh controls) they would already have played on the console.Clever thing. The more their old exclusives sell on PC the more money they can invest on NEW exclusives for their console business. Not to mention that when the PC peasants see the quality of those old exclusives they will probably buy a PS5 to play all the new ones sooner.

I thought they had that already, it is such an obvious thing to do when you are realising PC games on Steam as a publisher

I can watch the latest movies in a camera rip, uploaded to 720 resolution, horrible lighting, and people walking across the rows and laughing.... Or I can watch the proper movie in 4K, glorious audio and visuals. Kinda like going from console to pc version. All limitations removed.
