Since Horizon: Zero Dawn surprisingly made the leap from PS4 exclusivity to the PC, the wildest rumors have been circulating almost regularly. Sony has certainly promised that other exclusives may also be implemented for the PC, but it will probably take a while until then.
It is all the more curious that the network turned upside down on the evening of April 15, as several PS4 exclusives suddenly came into question again for a PC port. The reason for the excitement? Amazon France.

The PS5 makes the PC better before release & Horizon Zero Dawn is the proof
What happened?
Players viewed numerous PS4 games last night that were declared PC versions on Amazon France. This affected some very high-quality titles and also games that have not yet been released. So Amazon PC versions promised Persona 5 Royal, Days gone, Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection, Gran Turismo Sport and The Last of Us Part 2.
The special thing in this case was that it was not a baseless claim by a user on Twitter or Reddit, but real product entries at the wholesaler par excellence. Such discoveries don't always have to mean anything, as in the case of Horizon: Zero Dawn, it can be a first indication of an announcement. That is probably why this curiosity got so much attention.
Deny Sony & Sega
What caused skepticism in this case was the large number of games. After all, Sony and Sega didn't hesitate too long. A few hours after the products became known, both companies publish denials.
Sony made a short but clear statement to IGN, in which the possible ports were described as wrong:
"These listings are not accurate. We have made no announcement to release these games for the PC."
Sega, the publisher behind Persona 5, described the entries on Amazon as wrong to Gamespot:
"This listing is a mistake, and we're going to get it removed and try to figure out how it happened."
How exactly these entries were created is still unknown. However, it is suspected that an employee at Amazon France may have joked.
