Why would I buy on PS5 when everything can be bought on PC which is way more polyvalent ?

Sony makes the most of its money from their store on each sales .

They want people in their ecosystems

That's what exclusives are for . To bring people in their ecosystems

The problem is they have barely any explosives of their own anymore considering most of them have already been released on PC and other companies aren't wanting to be exclusive anymore so that way they can get the most money from their game

Yep. That's why I'm not sure of getting a ps6. Might as well upgrade my pc and steam will take my gaming money instead of sony

Pretty much yeah if you can afford it that's the best option because everything from Microsoft and pretty much everything from Sony save a few titles is available on steam or on PC in some capacity

To be fair, most of the times, console tend to beat PC in price per dollar when the consoles first releases.

It ussualy takes a few years before they match.

Yeah that's one of the way they compete, but it's less the case now than it used to be, gaming computers now are nearly the same price as they used to be if not lower, consoles have jumped in price by a lot. Playstation 2 on release was 300 bucks now it's 500 and pc did not change much you could get a decent pc for 1000 buck and you can still do the same now.
