Ex-PlayStation boss: Sony is betting on exclusives over PC again

Former PlayStation chief Shuhei Yoshida said on The Vergecast that Sony has reverted to its "older days" strategy, keeping major single-player titles console-exclusive instead of bringing them to PC. He said the platform business is now winning the argument over the first-party games business.
