Yup, exactly right.
Luna is actually a bigger threat to Sony now than MS is.
Unfortunately, yes.
It's a huge threat to all of the existing video games companies.
However, I'd argue it's a far bigger threat to Microsoft than Sony or Nintendo right now. Sony and Ninty are pretty much all about the curated content that is specifically designed to run on their own consoles. I think their business model is going to be fine for this generation. Luna will never have God Of War on it.
Msft on the other hand, are moving into the subscription service model very heavily, which puts them at direct odds with Amazon's entry into the industry. Hence why Msft have just bought Bethesda, because they know they can't now rely on being the go to place for third party games. That's gone completely out of the window, now third parties can potentially put their games on an Amazon product.
