Sony seems to have the delusion that their recent PC plays will get people onto their platform. It’s silly

Sounds like a dumb move. I thought the money was in software/game sales, not hardware that’s sold at a loss?

They want people on the hardware as they don’t need to share a cut with valve on software sales. Make it easier to pitch other services to users when they’re locked into your platform too.

That still doesn’t make sense. All this does is enable the PS VR headset to be used with a PC to play steam games. It gives people that already own a PS VR another option for usage: plugging it into a PC and playing VR games they purchased through steam. It lowers the barrier to entry for the user to experience PC VR games by being able to use hardware they already have on hand instead of having to purchase an Oculus or Index. Valve still gets their software sales cut because you can only use the PS VR to play games in your steam library on PC.

They don’t care about you buying the hardware itself, they want you to buy into the PlayStation platform where they get a cut of all sales and don’t pay a cut to valve.
