      Entitlement and kumbaya often comes after failing. Gaming is a business and usp's are imperative to sell to your product. Sony and Nintendo are hardware companies, Microsoft are not. They're trying to corner the market by acquiring as much publishing talent as possible. I think they have no choice but to put their games everywhere due to the fact they aren't selling enough hardware, software or subs to claw back or make profit on the monies spent over the past decade. MS just aren't as adept in the console game and haven't been is the end of the 360 era. They've had more studios under them yet find managing their output hard in regards to quality and frequency.. I don't trust them

    I'm not celebrating... I'm truly ticked that they'd even consider going back on Bethesda exclusivity. As a PS & Bethesda fanboy I only purchased a Series X for the Bethesda games they said would not be available on PS. The box serves no other purpose for me and if they take that away I genuinely have no reason to buy the next Xbox or even boot-up the Series X again. I've detested MS for years for their stupid decisions and this just trashes their image more. I'm pissed they conned me into a console purchase, and as it is, I just smh whenever I have to touch a Xbox controller or look upon the Xbox home screen. I'll be glad to put that away for good.

    Nintendo and Sony don't need Xbox in order for them to innovate, and that narrative needs closer scrutiny than the fans want to give it. look at the history of the console space. look at the history of both Nintendo and Sony hardware.
    nobody needed Xbox in order to be great, they were already great.
    Xbox convinced everyone else to charge for online play, to raise the price of games to $60, to accept dog-water type microtransactions (horse armor) and Xbox convinced its users that games ownership is passé.
    the notion that talented design houses like Nintendo and Sony need the creatively bankrupt suits at Microsoft for anything at all is ahistorical

    While I would love to see the positive scenario, Hell will freeze over before Nintendo loosens their grip on their exclusives. They are the one company rhat is almost assredly making money on hardware. For them to make such a move would be insane. Likewise, I fail to see Sony making such a move because with the newfound "freedom" they can just increase the cost of their consoles to remove any losses and possibly insert a profit opportunity. Bad for consumers, a windfall for Sony.

    Xbox starts putting all their games on PlayStation will give Sony the win for the console battles.
    Sony and Microsoft and putting their games on Steam will give Valve the definitive win in the platform wars.
    Valve is being handed the monopoly over all of gaming.
    Steam is already the only truly viable storefront for pc gaming, to the point where "putting a game on pc" is just shorthand for slapping a game on Steam. All they need now is PlayStation games day and date, and Valve will finally have the monopoly. It's not "if" but "when" it will happen.

    Talking monopoly, at the birth of Playstation Sony only competed with Nintendo and they knock it out of the park. For at least a decade now both Playstation 4 and 5 are only competing against Nintendo Switch, xbox is dead since 360 and the quality hasn't dropped, maybe more remasters here and remakes there, but the first party games released by Sony overall kept their level of quality the same way it has always been, so I digress

My point is Playstation won't be as effected with a future Xbox departure from the market as people think, because Xbox isn't being a worthy competitor for at least 10 years and even still Sony delievers great games. Competition generates improvemnt and that's the truth but unfortunately the only company feeding this "race for self improvment" is Nintendo and since they're a "niche" console is not enough to push Playstation to get better. I agree that Sony will get even more confortable and do whatever they please, but at this point Xbox as we know it, is financially unviable.

    Nothing you’ve said makes a lot of sense. Xbox is falling behind, and has been since the xbox one.
    1. They said forever ago that they plan on being a software company, and just developing hardware and technology in order to play that software.
    2. If PlayStation decided for whatever reason to monopolize (even though nintendo exist. And PC gaming) that wouldn’t work out for them. As once prices get too absurd, people will stop buying them.
    Obviously with inflation and the fact companies want more money, prices will increase from AAA studios. But don’t forget the indie market.
    If xbox is dying and needs to drop exclusivity. Or if they are trying to move in a more positive direction and end exclusivity as a whole: Great.
    But PlayStation is worse than xbox. Nor is Nintendo or vice versa. They are all companies, who have share holders, who want money.

    1. Xbox is going third party and PS, Nintendo are gonna follow them. The gaming industry has stagnated in terms of number of consumers as well as hardware. The technical gap between consoles generation will be minimal going forward, whether xbox competes in the consoles market or not and at the end of the day they are businesses, they need growth. The future is mobile, mobile phones are getting better each year, hell the iphone 17 can even run recently launched console games, yeah there are some problems like heating and battery but they are gonna improve. The best selling console ever is ps2 with 160 units sold in its lifetime, apple sells over 200 million iphones each year and the number is only increasing, all of them are not gamers but even if a fraction of them buys video games, its a huge potential market. I’m from India and consoles are not very famous here, but man do they spend so much time and money in mobile games which are mostly low quality mobile games but they are provided with these console games mobile, I assure you this industry will explode. Consoles are mostly sold in Europe, US and Japan, there are gamers in other countries who do not have the consoles but they do have mobile phones. Why do you need a separate box to play games if the mobile in your pocket can do the same job. Im not saying that we will all be playing on mobile screen though, connect to a tv if you like. Xbox going third party is just the start, eventually all three are gonna be publishing console quality games on mobile phones. This news shoukdnt be surprising though, they have been saying it for so long that they want to make 3 billion gamers, so why does this surprise people when they start executing their idea. You spoke about competition, competition in console market is dead, now the competition will only be in making better quality games.
