Same reason people think that Sony would still sell consoles without any exclusive games.

The answer to all of this is GAAS. There is no change from their policy from 5 years ago. The single players stuff will remain PS5 console exclusive.
It may not but there's a window they're going to maintain to maximize the impact of those titles in boosting their own hardware.

They've just now woken up to the fact that once these titles sell through on PlayStation hardware porting them elsewhere can add even more revenue to something that would have just sat and rotted otherwise past a certain point.

It's like how Disney has a streaming service but they're going to maintain that theater exclusivity window on major movies to maximize revenue on films. If at some point the theater business declines to the point it doesn't make sense to do that anymore they'll revisit that decision but until then it's the status quo.

Eh, people are locked into that eco system at this point
I along with many others had a stack of 360 games on the shelf when deciding to skip the Xbox One.

Heads will literally explode :mjlol:

Maybe then the people who bandwagon will realize these corporations only care about that dollar
Argument is that they have exclusives to sell consoles. You act like folks quit buying games/consoles because they expect it to be available day one on a streaming service.
