"Microsoft might legit publish more games on PS5 this year than Sony does." Gamers react to PlayStation State of Play, and the strange times Xbox finds itself in.

Yesterday, PlayStation had its State of Play event, a semi-regular showcase of upcoming games from both first and third-party. More so than ever, State of Play featured a ton of multi-platform games, both slated for Windows PC and Xbox Series X|S in addition to PlayStation, which accentuates an evolving industry.

Right now, costs are outstripping growth for players in the console space. Sony has seen a modest increase in users year over year, but the overall pie chart shows Windows PC as the main growth vector for the game industry right now. To that end, PlayStation has begun supporting PC more than ever, with first-party titles like Helldivers 2 demonstrably performing better on Windows than it did on PlayStation itself. Even Sony's biggest franchises like God of War and Spider-Man have begun hitting PC, and it seems almost inevitable that future PlayStation games will hit a "day and date" PC launch cadence in the future, similar to Xbox.
