Like it or not, there's a noticeable trend in the industry currently: the vanishing of exclusivity. With initiatives like Cross-Play / Cross-Progression, less and less full third party exclusives being funded and stuff like Microsoft putting absolutely every single game they make on PC on day one, the platforms are becoming more than the little boxes they used to be.
Sony currently is in an interesting situation. This generation established Sony as one of the top tier, premium publishers thanks to the work of Sony WorldWide Studios, and there's no doubts that games like Spider-Man or God of War moved some consoles. Sony, however, has also been starting to follow this trend more and more. PS Now allows PC players to enjoy many of the PS4's greatest exclusives, and they've even allowed for things like the Quantic Dream games to release on PC or Death Stranding's release on the same platform next year.
If, hypothetically, Sony followed Microsoft and announced they were going to put all of their games on PC at the very least, would that factor in your decision of getting a PS5? Or would you still pick it up for the convenience of a console?
Personally, I'd probably still get one, but towards the end of the generation when it's dirt cheap. I'm not somebody that picks up systems day one tho, so it doesn't really mean much.
