And why would FF7R be held to your "needs to hit 100k to be good", when all your cherished PS games (aside from H2) cant even break 80k?
They do.
There are almost 50 games with a peak CCU over 100k that are entirely or predominantly single player. Most of them within the past few years, coinciding with the overall growth of Steam.
I wouldn't call 40k CCU outright bad (it's much better than FF16 for example, and most singleplayer games would bite your arm off for that kind of number), but I think the FF7R project just wasn't designed right (trilogy action-RPG instead of one shot JRPG remake is a terrible call imo), and it limited the game's appeal.
Some of these takes wow.
I turn on the TV to find something to listen to while I answer some emails and this was my top recommendation
There are no evidence to a "day1 PC" besides pipe dream.
Yes, judging from Insomniac leak there were quite a few bloated fat that bound to be optimized. And it's CFO job to do it.

RPGs, sure, JRPGs, fuck no. JRPGs have ignored PC for the better part of the last 3 decades and only have started to make waves in the last 5 years or so. Games like Fallout, TES, BG, Path of Exile, Diablo, and even From games will do better on PC. JRPGs like FF, DQ, or Persona? These will do better on consoles where they have a much longer tradition and are much more popular in Japan where PlayStation and especially Nintendo dominate.
Alexa and Google knows u
Are you dumb?? its literally the exact opposite. with xbox gone, what is the point of exclusives if Sony is the only real option for AAA core gaming on console? PC is a different culture than console, the overlap is very small, they make 10s of millions on each port and lose nothing, stop being a desperate fanboy, you're an adult and its pathetic.
It's not only about marketing, but not even the specs are available, or copies have been send to review, or pre orders open. It's a really strange way to release a game. But I'm sure that live service games will be alwals release day and date on PC.
Elden Ring, Cyberpunk, Baldur's Gate, all GaaS.
Maybe if Sony makes it full cross-buy, cross-save, cross-play with console PSN for all games available in both, also sharing friends and trophies, the result could be very different.
I think by the time a pc launcher could be released Sony could also be releasing their games day and date on pc. Pc would greatly benefit from the immense then 2 in 1 marketing and until then they are getting more and more people used to creating a PS account like with Spider-Man 2 in a few days. That's at least what i would do if i was Sony. Yurinkas ideas are also very good.
I'm not sure why but I believe that their marketing no longer includes much of spiderman even on their own console. It might be more to do with a concentration on IP onwership and pushing spiderman less in general.Spider-Man 2 is set to release on PC in only 3 days, but:
- pre orders not available.
- no marketing besides of the initial trailer (from october);
- nothing about system requirements;
- the Steam page for the game was disable in some regions (Japan).

Not an answer but in Japan the store page is disabled entirelv. It sure is strange. https://store.steampowered.com/app/2651280/Marvels_SpiderMan_2/?cc=jpbsky.app
To be clear, I think Spider-Man 2 will be coming to PC, but it's strange that Sony is not giving a fuck about it.
That would be of help only to PS players that want to jump into PC.
Are you dumb?

People who own a PC AND a Console are enthusiasts and represent a very small minority in the industry, you clown.
Capcom's game?
As of now seems the PC ports are making PC bros move to PS more than the opposite.
Yeah sorry, went mad with the port begging there.
Where do you get that from?
Time will tell, but i think it will happen mid-end next gen depending on how much they dominate Xbox again.
But they could with the synchronized marketing and also the pc players that only play brand new games would be onboard. I think >50% of the console sales could easily be possible.
I’m sure that we will get a nice pc port of gravity rush remastered and 2, just a little while after the diy bloodborne port finishes.

I'm genuinely losing brain cells
Pc being relevant is a narrative being pushed, pc sales don’t even exist, pc crowd is fighting a battle against Mac and thats the game. The pc experience teaches you about coding, bullshitting memes and upgrading processors.

Honestly they haven't really done wild marketing with any of their ports as far as I know. They don't really need to.Spider-Man 2 is set to release on PC in only 3 days, but:
- pre orders not available.
- no marketing besides of the initial trailer (from october);
- nothing about system requirements;
- the Steam page for the game was disable in some regions (Japan).

STALKER did one million in two days.
And this is an accomplishment? A traditional PlayStation franchise coming a year before on PS5 does better than the PC version. I bet STALKER won't do anywhere near the PC numbers when it comes to PlayStation. We all know why, right?
World is GaaS, just like Street Fighter 5 and 6.
Too skinny.Live look at a pc gamer:
~12 month is what Sony considered "normal" exclusivity window. They just normalize 1st party with 3rd party.
GaaS always bound to be day1, there were never doubt in it.
An irrelevant platform.
It won't and we perfectly know. Don't be disingenous.
Elden ring, Baldurs gate 3 both sold huge on pc. No gaas. Not multiplayer only. Do you think when it comes to posting about PC?
