Idk about other people but I don't have the money, and can't justify buying a console in addition to a PC. If I had that extra money, I'd upgrade my computer. That and I don't like AAA games and I'm already invested in Steam and GOG libraries.

Sony, the friendly publisher who is making PC gaming friends every day with their "required PSN" addition to already released games (and new ones to be published) thinks these same PC gaming folks will buy a console to play PS exclusive sequels...
Why do they think that someone who hasn't bought a console already for games like Bloodbourne, God of War, Uncharted, Spiderman, Ghost of Tsushima, Horizon: Zero Dawn, etc. would buy one for a sequel of any of them??
I was going to buy a PS5, then I figured I'd wait for the pro refresh model, then I figured I'd rather spend the money on nice headphones. Longer I go without the more the urge just... goes away.
Might get the PS6 whenever that rolls around.
Haha! I'm still waiting for a decent sale on Spider-Man 1.
Some people will do it. We're talking about people who can afford powerful rigs here, they can afford it if they care enough. So it's not entirely stupid for Sony to try this bait thing.
Guess that we won't see Demon's Souls or Bloodborne until they have an exclusive sequel locked away, tho. :(
I don't get why people are so confident that this is a dumb move that won't work. We know games are buggy at launch, and people rush to buy them anyway. And then the forums are filled with people losing their shit that the game has bugs in it and isn't perfect. This idea that gamers are some patient group doesn't reflect the reality I've seen over the past 2 decades.
lmao i've been playing marvel spiderman 2 on my pc this month
I won't buy a game at full price. I'll wait till it's a good deal on steam. I'm mouse and keyboard, console means nothing to me.
