comparing sales of five-year-old games on PC to what's going on in console land is unfair.

Sony does not care about what's fair, they care about how much money they make.

Then they should release them at the same time not years and years after.

That's how to make you happy, not how to make money.

Good god every time I have to interact with you it's like you're intentionally obtuse/trolling.

The argument you're apparently not getting is no shit their PC sales are lower than whatever magic figure they think it should be, the one time they released a new game at the same time (Helldivers 2) it sold phenomenally well on PC too.

Every other game they have done is years after release on PS and obviously any hype has already died down. It's obvious why that would reduce sales figures comparatively, it's not a new game anymore and the only ones picking it up are people who were interested enough long enough to grab it on PC.

Like me, I bought Spiderman 1/Miles Morale's/2 because I love Spiderman games lol, but not nearly enough to go get a console.

I'm fine not getting any more PS games, it's just a lost sale for them though 🤷

Okay well I'll do us both a favor then and block you because every time I interact with you, you accuse me of "trolling" for no reason other than you don't understand what I'm saying.
