I’m not going to wait years for a port if I can play it on console right away

As long as the prices stay reasonable and the content keeps coming, I’m here to stay.

PC owners aren't fans of this, huh? Haha! Big games aren’t coming to PC right away; there’s still a pretty long wait

Meanwhile, we’ll be playing and finishing them
Why not go enjoy some DOTA and work on a spreadsheet while you wait?

Seems to me they ve been seeing the super positive reviews of their games on Steam but yet they wont bring over ACTUAL classics like Gravity Rush and Bloodborne lol

I have nothing against PC gaming; I just prefer consoles, and I’m glad that consoles will continue to be Sony’s main focus for the foreseeable future
I’m also totally fine with games being released on PC

At the rate you’re going with pricing, PC will become your real competition lol
