From vgc.

“The phrase one major company who released a big game last year said [was], ‘I don’t know why we bothered supporting it’.

“We mentioned on a previous podcast that we’d heard retailers in Europe are considering or had already been cutting back their Xbox stock on their shelves—hardware, games, that kind of thing—and now you’ve got third-party publishers going, ‘we’re putting in a lot of effort trying to create a Series S version and an X version of a game when, to be honest with you, for us the market is PC and PS5’.

“And with Xbox putting some of the games on PS5—from what I understand the majority of them will be coming across at some point, assuming it progresses as Xbox believes it probably will—I think Xbox is in real trouble as a hardware manufacturer, and that was the thing that came out of GDC for me.”

He added: “I thought it would be fine, but then I didn’t really factor in that some developers and publishers might just go, ‘yeah I don’t, you know, is there any point?’ And that is when you can lose it.”

Anyone high fiving that Microsoft might be leaving the console race is an idiot, and I've been team fukka Xbox since my 360 RROD'd. Y'all Sony stans must have forgotten about this:

During a recent interview with Japanese economic website Toyo Keizai, ever-charming Ken Kutaragi had this to say about Sony's goal for the PS3: "for consumers to think to themselves 'I will work more hours to buy one'. We want people to feel that they want it, irrespective of anything else."

Or their shytty PS Store, no trophy support, no in game XMB access, and worse performance for $600. This is what Sony will go back to with no competition and I don't even fukk with consoles any more.

They’re absolute fools. Sony bought Crunchyroll and the very day they announced they were getting rid of Funimation they were going to increase the price of Crunchyroll. Sony are absolute unhinged greedy gremlins when they don’t have competition. It’s the only thing that humbles them.

Correction: Sony didn’t just increase CR price, they doubled the price from 55 dollars USD annual to 99 US dollars annual.
