Wonder what the angle is? Consoles were always a loss and the games made money. No more console wars next gen?

Well that would be nice as a PS user considering Xbox has an exclusive I'd like to play.
Microsoft can't fuck with God of War, Bloodborne, The Last of Us, Horizon Zero Dawn, Demons Souls Remake, FF7 Remake, Ratchet and Clank, MGS4, Spiderman, Ghost of Tsushima, Uncharted, etc. If this is true, all the games I just listed played a part. Xbox has....Halo. |

MS is in it to make $$. so they'll make money selling on other platforms.
I'm invested in the xbox stuff because my son and I play the same games on xbox. I'm not sure if it can be done on Playstation, but I buy a game digitally on my account. The xbox x he has at his mom's house is set up as my home console, so he can play all the games i buy without me logging in. At my house i have my xbox x and I log in to my account and play the games at the same time he does. I had a PS4 but my daughter "borrowed" it when her's died. So far, other than minecraft, all games are still bought on disc. I played an hour of FF7 and still haven't opened Last of Us 2 yet. I've had two PS5s since release but have never opened them so I sold them for profit. I might get a PS5 Slim when it releases so I can play LoU2 on it. |

Only thing on Xbox I have interest in is Forza but that died with Xbone and the J. J Abrams lense flare on every track.
If Nintendo would open up their library now that would be something. |

Does PS have something like Game Pass, and how much content is on it? |

Microsoft has deep pockets. Trust me. I follow this shit more than most. Unless an actual bombshell drops I wouldn't worry about xbox. In fact the current rumor is we're getting a multi sku console in 2026. |

In ten years your console is likely to have no storage space to speak of and be nothing more than a terminal for cloud gaming access and data collection on you, and you won't be able to backup any of the games you play but don't own. |

Microsoft seems to be putting the majority of their effort into cloud gaming/Gamepass. Seems to me that it's less overhead not printing/selling physical media and being able to sell that service across multiple platforms. Selling XBoxes is gravy at that point.

So many of their exclusives are now on Steam anyway so it makes sense.
If you think it's a hardware loss, they clearly didn't feel that way putting them on Steam. |
