    Tencent , ea, Facebook, google wanted to buy it and y’all mad Microsoft did

    Microsoft has been in the gaming field and longtime relationships with game developers. None of these other big tech companies like FB or Google have been in this space long enough to really have that trust no matter how much money they have.

    Oh didn’t know you were considering ps5 and series next gen

    PS5/XSX is already current gen imo, but I think they'll be neck & neck at the end of this gen kinda like 360/PS3 days if you include GamePass.

    I think the PS6/XSX2 gen is when the tide fully change to MS if Sony doesn't make their services better.

    I actually can’t imagine an EA call of duty. First game would end the franchise.

    You mean Medal of Honor basically?

    Im mainly a PC gamer with a PS4 Pro + Switch Lite at the moment.

    Although I'm not fully invested in Xbox's ecosystems or their IPs as much as I am Sony's or Nintendo's, each major acquisition makes their lineup undeniable day by day.

    I'm def gonna get ES6, Starfield & Diablo 4 & whatever Arkane/Tango & Double Fine drops on PC.

    I think if we're talking purely console sales, I think Sony will still outsell this gen (not sure bout next-gen), but when you account for GamePass + Xbox Console Sales, I think it will reach around the same amount of units + profits.

    I think next-gen is when the difference will truly show between Sony & MS. Sony has A LOT of work to do to catch up to MS service wise.

    They need Spartacus to be appealing/functional/accessible/affordable, Practical Backwards Compat for PS3, Cloud Gaming, QoL features such as VRR, Quick Resume, ALLM, etc.

    I'm not sure if Sony will be able to accomplish that + snagging enough studios/pubs to have the quality & quantity.

    Sony's equivalent of GamePass is utter garbo so they definitely have a lot of catching up to do in that department

    still dont think that would even it out. the price will increase steadily like a netflix sub and MS will feel more comfortable doing it as they grow larger

    Max they can do is 20$ . Otherwise they will be crunching to rush out games to fit the demand and need
