Kotaku: The console wars are over and nobody really won.

That’s ok Microsoft Surface doesn’t outsell Apple and Samsung. It’s just another form of allowing users to use your system. Do I expect state of the art Hardware in the future. Possibly no but they will continue making hardware.

this ain't MS Surface.

Xbox hardware selling helps GP sales and revenue in general.

hardware continues to fall off massively is not sustainable.

It's over b.

I know corporate greed exists, the live service pivot was done to chase some quick bucks month to month, quarter to quarter. Sony didn't plan it the right way and clearly didn't think it would make them money if it's just generic branded slop quickly pumped out.

The timed exclusivity on their major 1st party games is giving them an advantage over the other companies, they're offering something other platforms don't have which is those games on day 1. Switch doesn't have the specs to run their games, and PC doesn't get Sony games on day 1.

I think you're overlooking that hardware sales may be boosted next gen because PlayStation will be the only console that gets every 3rd party day one.

Time exclusives are a failure because you are offering a large sum for a time exclusive but the games don’t sell. Look at Ronin that shyt was a failure. Look at Forspoken it’s a failure. It doesn’t work unless it’s GTA type game

False. You can utilize Gamepass on a steam deck, rog ally or any device. The hardware is just addition bro that shyt is not tied to Gamepass and you know this. Why are you continuing to dwell on that??? It’s weird bro. Gamepass actually allowed them to not rely on their hardware as the number 1 factor. You don’t need Xbox to play your games you purchase now. shyt I got WWE and haven’t touch my Series X in months I use the cloud. I can play Starfield on my PC and then take that shyt on the cloud on my tablet.

Hardware is a minor use of the ecosystem

Watching Xbots attempt to piggyback off of big brother (Nintendo) in an effort to get at the kid at the park that they've accepted they can't see (Sony) is one of the most genuinely hilarious things in gaming.

Not every game is gonna hit. You're blaming that completely on timed exclusivity when a lot of factors contributed to the low sales of those games.

[Prince Akeem]

so by "nobody won" the actually mean "sony won"?

These dudes have resorted to hoping the entire gaming industry collapses just because they're preferred choice got their boots smoked.

It's pathetic.
