Sony Unconcerned About Gamers Switching from PlayStation to PC Due to Exclusive Ports

In recent years, Sony has been actively porting its games to PC, leading to a loss of exclusivity. Recently, the company addressed whether the leadership fears losing its predominantly console-based PlayStation audience.
We are in the latter half of the console cycle for the PS5, and the number of PS5 titles has been increasing. We have also confirmed internally that the transition of users from the PS4 to the PS5 is trending well. In addition, we see users tending to purchase more software when they switch to the PS5, which we see as a positive. In terms of losing users to PCs, we have neither confirmed that any such trend is underway, nor do we see it as a major risk, so far.
According to previously published information, as of September 2024, Sony has sold 65.5 million PS5 consoles. This is nearly comparable to the PS4's sales, which reached 73 million units in its first four years.
Additionally, the PS5 Pro was released in November, featuring more powerful hardware designed to enhance game performance.
Analysts predict that by 2029, PS5 Pro sales should reach 13 million units (the PS4 Pro sold 14.5 million units over its lifetime).
