Ybarra: Consoles Will Never Die; Those Losing Are Pushing the Narrative that Fits Them

Former Blizzard president Mike Ybarra commented today on Sony's talent for making hit exclusives and the future of consoles

wccftech.com

Speaking on X earlier today, the former Blizzard Entertainment president discussed Sony's approach to exclusive games, saying that it is the correct strategy to follow if you plan to win in the living room. In this regard, Sony not only knows how to make hits but also how to pick them from others, and it is definitely paying off. If he were Sony, Ybarra continued, he would double down on this strategy because the blood in the water is all over the place.

As another X user highlighted, the narrative nowadays is that the living room is not the future and that consoles are dying. Mike Ybarra replied that, in his opinion, consoles will never die, and it's those who are losing who are pushing a narrative that fits them. This is a not-so-subtle dig at Microsoft, whose strategy regarding its consoles and exclusives has been all over the place lately, creating much uncertainty.

Phil Spencer Says Console Is 'Critical' to Future of Xbox - IGN

Phil Spencer is adamant that consoles are "critical" to Xbox's business going forward, saying that dedicated gaming hardware is "the future of Xbox."

No one has said “consoles will die”

Sony stan’s shadow boxing strawmen as usual

 

[The Mad Titan]

What?

Sony stans the only ones talking about MS getting out the hardware business and going 3rd party.

 

[MeachTheMonster]

And he’s also wrong about “the living room”

Majority of gaming is not happening in “the living room”

Sony can dominate the living room and there’s still so much more money out there for other companies to get.

Hilarious how dude has become the sony stan whisperer these days

 

[Diondon]

Some loudly wrong and strong have been predicting the death of consoles and single player games for quite some time now

Console Gaming Is Dying — and Microsoft Knows It

When Microsoft unveiled its latest console, the Xbox One (don't let the name throw you; this is the third console to bear the Xbox moniker), online observers couldn't help but notice that a vast majority of the conference discussed everything but video games.

And it's been an obvious undercurrent on Spencer's bullshyt over the past few years re: physical consoles dying out.
