The problem with Microsoft and by extension Google is they think consoles are ‘easy money’, they want to reach billions of people and are not content with less than 100 million.
Nintendo and Sony understand their customers, they know what they expect and have the contacts and creative atmosphere to deliver in a way no other platform holders have.
Exclusives make up a large part of my library and I value those experiences far more than anything other devs put out.
As I said in another thread Gaming is PlayStation in Europe. They control the market and 70 to 90% of gaming devices sold are PlayStation depending on what country you’re in.
Finally, PlayStation has the biggest streaming platform already and can offer more than anyone else due to their vast exclusive library.
Sony has been patient and generous with its investments in gaming, you will not find other corporations so giving.
So, let’s say for instance the prayers of all the Xbox fans was and Sony dropped out of the industry......I ask, what would you be left with in terms of high quality single player games?
These corporations have no interest, they want to invest small and win big. That’s what they are conditioned into. From there the whole industry would crumble....
Only Nintendo would probably remain.
