    Lmao what. The only reason the Xbox wouldn’t be successful is, well, Xbox. MS aren’t doing a great job with their consoles, but that doesn’t mean it wouldn’t be possible for competition to exist.

      The XBox XGo, which only supports games from Gamepass and Microsoft Store!

      Note: Gamepass only valid for 1 year. Steam/Epic/GoG not supported currently

      Microsoft has to prop up Sony to avoid monopoly lawsuits after they bought out the majority of the industry

      If they could make COD and Elder Scrolls xbox exclusives then they would win the “war” right there

        I’m sure that if Microsoft was allowed to do that Sony would have bought up a Japanese studio with the backing of the Japanese government like a Capcom or Sega. Probably the only reason Sony didn’t buy a bigger share of Kadokawa is because MS isn’t a real threat.

          You’re comparing pumpkins to grapes

          Sony could be given the whole yokai watch IP and it wouldn’t matter much outside of the domestic market

      Xbox has the gamepass to make money.

    Xbox would be the one to fall out. Mainly because Microsoft prioritizes software and service over major hardware gains. Their console is mostly a complementary device for users to access their services so this not necessarily a bad thing. With most of their games no longer exclusive this makes the most sense.

    Overall Sony and Nintendo will face stiff competition from PC and it’s handheld markets as they are the best value platforms albeit with a major upfront cost. Nintendo will remain popular enough due to its widely attractive exclusive games and it’s the device that is perceived best for kids. Playstation will remain the go-to platform for people who want a quick plug and play platform and not deal with the “fuss” of PC. The PS5 Pro was their trial attempt at making something more powerful for that crowd.

    Well duh, if both consoles end up averaging close to $1,000 after tax then of course households are only going to buy one and that’s if they don’t just decide to go PC instead at that point. Especially with the cost of subscriptions going up again, it’s becoming financially draining

    My prediction is that sony and microsoft will have benchmarks 3rd party devices have to hit in order to buy a “PS6 Compatable” logo for their product. So you can buy a Msi Claw 3 or whatever, sign into the PSN and shop the sony catalogue.

    I certainly hope not. If Xbox drops consoles then Sony will absolutely be pricing PS6 at $1k to make up for Concord and PS5 Pro not selling. What’re you going to do, buy an Xbox? They’d immediately gain a monopoly over the console market. We all know Nintendo learned the wrong lesson from the Wii and Switch and will likely never make another console with strong enough hardware to actually compete with Sony/Microsoft ever again.
