And all Xbox Stan’s care about is folks getting let go, and lawsuits
I mean it's happening a lot in a certain camp currently. :sas1:





All of xbox news is well documented by the Sony Stan's here also, I guess Sony Stan's so busy making fart and sales threads they don't have time to report on PlayStation news.

:mjlol:

I don’t see Sony demanding price parity as unreasonable. Do you?
Yes it's unreasonable.

The company with the leading market cap share has the following benefits

-Game parity ( A game can even be better/different on a different platform)

-Price parity (Can't even sell a game lower on a different service to make it more attractive)

- Typical gets 1st dibs on shopped exclusives

-Influences what can be on what service platform.

-Default platform for all console games created.

If you were running the market leading company you'd allow a partner to undercut your price on a rival platform?

Because this isn't news, what business is going to allow you to sell a product at half price with a competitor and be cool with it?

I don't care, I understand how business works in general, I understand the underbelly of commerce...

It's the Stan's that confuse me, like monopoly's are cool now? I never know where people draw the line, sometimes they hate what appears to be un competitive practices, and monopolistic behavior, other times they are all good with it.


If not for MS competing against Sony right now who would be? For years people on this site have essentially said "get gud" when it comes to Xbox taking trying to compete.


The last 2 years have pulled back the covers on all these practices and now y'all like "it's just business" but MS buys some studios and publishers and then y'all like "not fair, not healthy, they gonna raise prices" meanwhile....
