Not really. From my PC-biased perspective, Microsoft and Sony are already third-party.
well, the OP asked how it would affect me. And it wouldn't.That's your (limited) prospective.
The real prospective is that Nintendo and Sony hardware has been locked out of MS games and that will change next week
It's an absolutely massive change of scenario
I think people are being a little optimistic about how many games MS is going to port to other systems. If we totalled all the games mentioned in this thread and others, it would total probably around 30 games.
So including new games over the next two years, you seriously think MS is going to release like 40-45 games in two years on the PS5 and Switch/Switch 2?I'm interested in half a dozen Xbox franchises such as Forza (Motorsport & Horizon), Flight Sim, Starfield and the odd other.
Not enough to make me buy an Xbox console or go back to PC gaming. But I would pick 'em up on PS5. The aesthetic, exploration and chilled nature of Starfield interests me. But I always thought there'd be an opportunity to buy a Complete Edition on PlayStation. I was expecting that to be PS6 but looks like PS5 Pro will be the jump in point.
Wouldn't surprise me at all if MS ported 30 title in the next 18-24 months. Especially when you take into account compilations and back catalogue titles that have had no release on PlayStation.
Ports would include new titles with timed exclusivity - Hellblade 2 for example. MS will want their big hitters and legacy titles available on PlayStation and (if possible) Switch/Switch 2. So many collections they can release to catch people up with franchises. Once they're into year 3 and beyond they'd obviously just be focused on new releases unless they start remastering 360 and earlier era titles.So including new games over the next two years, you seriously think MS is going to release like 40-45 games in two years on the PS5 and Switch/Switch 2?
Samsung?Who? Google failed. If MS leaves they failed. Anybody want a 5k console from apple? Hopefully the PC resurgence continues because console space goes to shit if Xbox leaves.

My point is that raising the cost of consoles will lessen the delta between PC and consoles. Not that PCs are cheap. They are also scaleable and software is cheaper and discounted earlier than consoles.You are right PC hardware is so cheap right now, NVIDIA is selling GPUs for peanuts
Evil Sony must be stopped
I'd be for samsung*Samsung?
