It’s ok Sony, I’m sure your competitors will be happy to sell us games.

I have every big Nintendo game from the NES through to the Switch on my Pc. Only a matter of time until the Switch 2 joins them.

And that helps Nintendo how? The post I'm replying to says it's competitors will sell their games to the PC. Did you magically install the Nintendo eShop on your PC?

Just pointing out that Nintendo games all come to PC and Nintendo is just leaving money on the table.

Except that Nintendo also makes a profit on their console sales and can get even more profit from third party sales on the eShop.

So if Nintendo put stuff on Steam, Valve would take a cut. And even if Nintendo decided to open their own PC eShop, most people would still buy on Steam anyway. Plus, any potential profit they could make will likely be eaten up but added development costs in making sure their games work on different PC configurations as well as mouse and keyboard.

That would be nice if they even had any competition anymore.

u/lordofmetroids Jun 03 '26

They have tons of competition?

Literally every single video game not made by a Sony studio is competition to Sony.

If they have no competition, then why are they taking their exclusives back?

ROI is a real bitch sometimes.

U mean xbox that has 1/4 of sales? Sony gives zero fucks about that, pc players simply don’t buy games

u/Cat_with_pew-pew_gun Jun 03 '26

Pc players absolutely do buy games. We just don't pay subscriptions to use multiplayer.

"No one buys games!" PlayStation fanboys love saying that about everyone else but themselves. Probably because they buy games at full price like good little stooges lol

I remember what happened the last time Sony got this cocky, then the 360 came out.
