But what would gamers gain, with a Sony-only monopoly?
Like microsoft wasnt trying to have a monopoly with what they was doing?!?!
But Sony actually has the monopoly now. How does That benefit gamers?
Cry more nikka, go play Mario kart if you don’t like the future. You mad at Sony cuz the trillion dollar company couldn’t compete - not our problem.But Sony actually has the monopoly now. How does That benefit gamers?
Well we wont have to worry about xbox being a bunch of corporate buying game studio bytches anymore...
again, if its true tht Sony has a monopoly why is there no concern of Nintendo having a monopoly since no one else is competing with them?
Nintendo can charge everyone 100 dollars for the next mario kart and no one should care i guess. Nintendo has way more pull in game selling than sony does after all. Sony don’t have 60 million selling games, and actually have to compete with other 3rd party AAA publishers on their platform
There always been competition for Nintendo in the handheld space, always. You don't see Nintendo downplay Steam Deck or any handheld device. They welcome it, despite how the competition will always be a 2nd place, its always welcome. Why else do they have top notch 1st party software to this day?

Stop playing dumb
The steamdeck is even less competition to nintendo as a dead xbox is to playstation.
Steam Deck sales could already reach 3-4 million units, with US, China, and Russia among top countries | Game World Observer
The problem with Steam Deck is that Valve has never reported official sales figures since starting shipping its portable PC in February 2022. However, there is still some indirect data that can be used to estimate the number of owners.gameworldobserver.com
You were just in the nintendo thread celebrating it selling 140 million units, the steamdeck has sold just over 3 million as of today. You don’t actually care about competition you just sad xbox is dead and buried.
You don’t care that nintendo can sell a 10 year old. Game (mario kart 8) for 60 dollars and never lower the price of their hardware or software. Nintendo has no competition in their space and you aren’t raising a ruckus about it because you’re a stan just like the rest of us and bias as fukk.
Stop wasting these good peoples time
So if Sony took advantage and jacked up prices artificially, you would be happy?
Again, a monopoly is the last thing you want.
Did you ever thought the lack of competition breeds complacency? PS store just Jack up their monthly service by 30% recently, and no pushback whatsoever. That just gave a green light to do that for the rest of their products.
Why are you so happy for lack of competition? Answer that question FIRST.
If they did id just not buy simple as that... you acting as we dont have a choice...
