It was pretty darn obvious that hardware sales would fall if they released their exclusives on PC. I'm sure they did their math and it's more profitable to go back to console only.

I think they were planning to use their PSN account required BS to make up that difference by gathering and selling user data. But then that didn't work because it turns out you can sell computer games in markets where PSN isn't available so there was obvious backlash.
