Yes but a lot of people will buy a PlayStation just for the exclusive games. I know lots of people that do exactly that.
Which inevitably leads to them buying a bunch of other PS games.
Which means more subscriptions and higher profit margins where they don't have to pay Steam's outrageous commissions.
Ah yes the outrageous commissions that almost every store has? Psn has 30% so does xbox..
They could easily make their own store with the original prices and increase the price on Steam to cover those 30%.
Correct.
I don't know why you are being down voted as that is their business plan, they hope PC gamers will think "oh I should get a PS for those other exclusives".
I just don't think most PC users will bother, ans this is probably why Sony are stopping releasing to PC as it's not bringing as many people into the eco system as they hoped, if anything it may be having opposite effect.
