As reported by PC Gamer, Final Fantasy 16 producer Naoki Yoshida said on a launch celebration stream that the PC version of the game still needs to be optimised, but finishing the PlayStation 5 version has taken priority. “We will be sharing more about the PC version when the time is right,” he said. “Please look forward to it.”
Not defending Sony, but Microsoft has a lot advantages of their own. MS is already a massive company. So big that they make Sony look small by comparison. They also own and operate a state-of-the-art cloud platform in Azure. That’s not something Sony can compete with.
You also have to credit Sony for making the most of their first party studios and franchises. This is something Microsoft has really failed to do well over the last couple of generations, and probably contributes more to their number 3 position than anything else.
