Why is that? They make so much money with selling games and Switches

Why is Playstation doing it? If you release your older titles to new platforms, players will more likely buy your new console for the sequel. Look at horizon and God of War.

Because play station is not the same as Nintendo.

Nintendo earns money from every Switch sold, Sony loses money on every ps5 Sold

And should I say something about sales? Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, a wii u port sold 3x more copies than God of War 2018

Even in 2022, Pokemon Scarlet Violet sold twice the amount of copies compared to Gow Ragnarok

Yeah? Are they making so much money off of the N64 game I downloaded? or the copy of BOTW I downloaded? I absolutely would have bought them. But there's no way I'm buying a console to play 2 games/console gen.

There is no point being made. There's no reason they can't sell games on PC and on their console, like every other company does. It makes no sense not to, they'd make millions more.

in fact consoles are even sold at a loss, specifically because they expect to make more off of individual game sales. So to have someone else emulate the console for free, and even act as a platform they could sell their games on without porting it over to PC would be nothing but beneficial to them.

You're basically trying to defend someone that goes "I have an infinite supply of icing that anyone can take from for free. I can give everybody the option of buying it if I want. But I'll only sell it to people that buy it with my cake mix. Everyone else gets it free."

like why? What's the purpose? You aren't preventing piracy, and you're losing money in the process. How does this help you?

They are not making games for you, you will probably just pirate the Steam version of Botw or N64, no hate but thats how it is
