Maybe that will happen, but I feel like Sony has stronger studios in its portfolio. And I say that as someone that bought an Xbox Series console and Game Pass.

Microsoft has been bad luck Brian over the past 2 years. Their acquisitions have pushed out a lot of meh games. The good exclusives haven’t been there, and the cross platform games that are made by MS just aren’t good enough to really make GamePass feel amazing.

Microsoft has been amazing about buying big names that have some real stinkers loaded in the shoot.

Good.

I’m not a fan of the $2.8tn behemoth that is Microsoft just buying up everything either, but I don’t think Sony has much to worry about.

What is MS actually doing with all that money and all that IP and development manpower? Almost everything that’s come out of them this gen, bluntly, has been subpar. There’s a few bright spots but it’s the exception not the rule.

The Xbox FTC leaks showed Xbox is struggling to make a financial case for themselves within MS and the only way they can remain competitive is to keep buying people out. Eventually regulators will surely step in and say absolutely not - I mean Phil Spencer said he wanted to buy Nintendo and Valve via a hostile takeover ffs, that simply isn’t going to be allowed by regulators.

Sony more often than not releases good games, duds are few and far between. Their console is cheaper to manufacture, devs like it more, and they’re selling more of them by a long shot.

Sony will be fine. This is just posturing for regulators to try to get them to forbid more big MS takeovers.

Sony really needs to push the VR thing but they also let Meta get ahead in that game also
