MODERATORS
It's not that they don't make money. If you want a game and already have got it on the Playstation, it's not much of value to get it on the PC. If Sony releases the games simultaneously, many people who really want them, will buy for PC, too. It's the delay that decreases the value, especially when the game turns out mediocre.
I'd say a majority of people either have a PS5 or a gaming PC, not both. Sony's strategy is to sell games to people who aren't going to buy a PS5. They aren't doing the MS thing where they consider PC part of their ecosystem.
