Sony makes their money off 3rd party licensing. They make games themselves to have more exclusives, so people buy their console and 3rd party games on their system.
I literally said that in the quoted post.
It doesn't make sense to release games day 1 on PC because it's a short term outlook on profit and it hurts their brand. Especially considering they can't market the game as "Playstation exclusive".
Like i said, consoles and pcs are two pair of shoes. There are millions of gamers who don't want a pc or don't have the space or money for it. The pc gamers that are willing to buy a console for an exclusive game are not good customers to Sony, because they usually don't buy 3rd party games or want to pay for online gaming when they already have online gaming for free and can get 3rd party games much cheaper and play them in better quality on their pc. It's actually better for Sony to keep them on the pc.
Then there are pc players who are only interested in the lastest games and don't want to play a 3 years old game. With day1 releases and Sony's massive marketing they could sell millions of copies like they do on their consoles.
Who cares about "PlayStation exclusive"? That's just a fanboy thing and those are the minority. Ask 1000 casual players to name 5 PlayStation exclusives and more than 90% couldn't answer that.
Sony wouild lose a few people to pc for sure, but the sales on pc would make up for it easily and it wouldn't hurt the brand, it would help it growing. A day1 pc Spider-Man with Sony's marketing would have sold 25-30 million copies on PS+Pc and more sold games = good for the brand.
