It's possible that they added extra features to their engines for easier porting making for more impressive PS5 games.
Will see how this goes. I still expect to see pc ports from second/third party studios they do partnerships with. I can see them have a lot of timed exclusives with the launch of PS6 but to be honest with the price of the PS6 being 1,000 dollars they could make PlayStation end up just like how their tv's did.

It worked great for Nintendo but Nintendo does develop games...

Sony isn't Nintendo.
Bungie can work on SP games too.

I have said it before: we need exclusive since it boost competition. We only got Killzone 2 because Sony didnt have anything to even face Halo 3. KZ 1 didnt deserve a sequel since it is average as heck, but Sony still give it a try.
Who knows? Maybe Sony pushed for a (true) competitor for CoD if Microsoft... ok, I know MS is dead, but hear me out: if CoD joins the exclusive wars, Sony WILL have to put something on the table.

Sony GaaS games will go to PC, and probably Xbox too. Only GaaS slops though.Good to see PC ports still coming!
It's the right one. PlayStation brand separated itself from that crowd increasing its value while MS pivoting towards steam-dominated ecosystem will die a natural death.
CoD is guaranteed on Playstation and Nintendo for 10 years i.e thru 2033:
After months of competition complaints, Sony agrees to 10-year Call of Duty deal
Move helps clear the way for final approval of Microsoft's Activision purchase.

Microsoft Legally Commits to 10 Years of Call of Duty Games on Nintendo Consoles
Microsoft signs a legally binding agreement to bring Call of Duty games with 'full feature and content parity' to Nintendo hardware.
Nixes should be given the task to port all PS4 and PS5 first party games to PS6 and PS6 handheld with all the RT and ML bells and whistles.

GT7 PC port got turned down, even Demon's soul, they know it will make a lot money if it got a pc port, but they also cancel it. A lot people buy playstation hardware because some of these games, especially GT series, which also now a esports brand and show the PlayStation hardware. Astro bot and its future game will exclsuvie, because it now the mascot of PlayStation (now even often show in Sony corp's, SIE's mother company, some promotion) and it shows full Playstation hardware features.
Nixxes is now part of Creative and Technical department: co-development (recent saros, Death Stranding 2 pc port), technical consult (HD2 PC install size optimization), in-house engine and sdk development (decima engine pssr/pico/dlss and e.t.c. integration), remake&remaster (Horizon zero down remaster), and other game development technical support. It can do a lot of things rather than PC ports, it also lists more game design related job in recent years.

Not only about 1st party PS4 and PS5 software sales revenue, but Sony can got 20%~30% of anything happens on PlayStation. Also the PC port will definitely hold back 1st party development, next gen 6080 has 20gb ram, while PS6 console has 30 gb ram, the next handheld has 24 gb ram, most PC playbase's GPU will have 12gb at that time.
PlayStation Games on PC Took 3 Years to Earn $300M
The LinkedIn account of a former PlayStation employee offers new insights into how PlayStation generated profits by bringing its games to PC.insider-gaming.com
"In contrast, PS4 and PS5 software sales hit that milestone in a single year."
Sony basically now only put some their GaaS game on PC (or other platform), the SP games (and some GaaS game showing full PlayStation hardware like GT series) will be exclusive since the console hardware price is not what it was, and need more exclusive to enchance its values. For next gen, , the console will be at least $799+ with now disc driver (BOM now is $760),

I am not sure how late PC-Ports for some games and multiplatform for MP-games can hurt your business instead of just bringing in additional bucks. With PC still growing and consoles not necessarily since PS2 days, Sony needs to expand somehow. A handheld of course should do something.
Anyway, they never were actually suicidal as MS was with their day 1 for everything approach.
Sony's PC strategy only lacked their own store ported over first, or collaborate only with EGS where they are at least invested in some minority capicity, instead of handing over a big chunk of the profits to Valve.

It's the only move that could get me to buy their hardware.
That and if it had BC for ALL their consoles and a disc drive, that would be awesome.
BUT…
Realistically I'll most likely just end up skipping them completely once crossgen ain't working on PS5 Pro anymore. Sad but true.
For me they no longer release enough games in-house per generation that I'm actually enjoying to make a hardware investment make sense. And I play multiplats on PC now so no other use for it besides exclusives.
It's not like PS3 gen when Naughty Dog alone could release 4 top games the same generation.
This generation ND is still working on their first new game 6 years into the generation and no release date yet.

It devalued the brand so much they increase the prices of their consoles.

Fair point, but isn't that just a feature of console as a business model ? Its why the first half of a cycle generally determines how well its going to do overall because its when the perceived value is highest and therefore the product is at its most competitive.
If prices are subject to a cost bubble then I suspect the plan will be to produce in limited quantity initially and ramp up as BoM diminishes. The impact being blunted by extending out the cross-gen period.
The real problem as I see it for console manufacturers is providing any sort of differentiating "hook" for the next generation. I think its why AI has been latched onto so hard across computing - outside of tech enthusiast circles there isn't much else left to market around,

Living in the dreamland that this move will allow Naughty Dog to make the games we loved them for, then you remember all those staff members are long gone. Sadge

If you are too blind to see how important all these things are you can't be helped and you simply don't understand the industry like us Sony specialists do.
300m is pittance in terms of profit for Sony and they don't care nor do we. I know because every morning before kissing my wife I kiss my spare PS5 PRO good morning and every day smile to myself that you neckbeard nerds on pc can't play my games MINE.
I know you probably have Ps5s already but fuck me as long as you know it's not on PC that will make me happy.

I know a load of people left after uncharted 4, and more staff left when Evan Wells left in 2023, but yes theres quite a lot of staff who were then promoted into rolls in 2023 who were on the Last of us 2 development team. I think post uncharted 4 they lost over 70 percent of their staff.

I'm retarded?
Damn right, those 1-2 exclusives per year are absolutely going to give Sony BILLIONS of dollars. Billions I say!
the non-parody replies in this thread celebrating console warring are probably the most retarded people I've ever met in my entire life and that's saying a lot considering my tag

But isn't that their studio's description and who they are regardless of what their future titles release on.Good to see PC ports still coming!

They also do remasters such as Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered
I could at some point see them also taking on DLC so the main studio can concentrate on their next game(s) but only if Nixxes expand slightly (they'd need writers, additional modellers and artists even though they could outsource some of those).
