Sony dominated the home console market by outlasting SEGA, pushing Nintendo into portables, and now seeing Microsoft shift toward handhelds and third-party publishing. With Xbox's next-gen leadership tied to Surface tablets, the handheld rumors seem inevitable.
Sony’s strength lies in consistency, its PlayStation branding, controller design, and developer-friendly approach kept its community strong. Meanwhile, Nintendo’s constant hardware changes hurt third-party trust, making it unreliable for franchises like Resident Evil and Final Fantasy.
I would say Microsoft's biggest issue was not investing in those first parties from the very get-go. They lost Bioware to EA by failing to secure Mass Effect’s IP and wasted money on timed exclusives instead of building a solid foundation. Many 360 exclusives eventually landed on PS3, reinforcing Sony’s lead.
And last but not least Microsoft's biggest issue during those days is that they seem to not trust those developers they keep trying to build something evergreen like you see with maybe Mario out of things that make no sense like with Halo or gears we're talking about properties where you don't need 10 of something like this it actually makes more sense to just have those 3 to 4 titles and then move on to something brand new and allah those teams to stretch their wings
I mean what the fuck happened with that black tusk FPS title ? Move the fuck on... The amount of people that like gears of war is not going to change and I'm sure those same people would like what black tusk was going to be instead they turn the fucking team into just making one property and then act surprised that they lose yet another generation
I have no doubt in my mind that destiny would have been an absolute amazing success story for Microsoft if they fucking just let the damn team make something new you're talking about a company that literally needed to leave Microsoft to create something new and now it's one of the biggest properties Bungie has ever created. I feel by the time Microsoft realized a lot of this they have already conceded to just being a third party in those big purchases of third party publishers have more to do with them seeking to just do that then actually building some stable base for the future Xbox as it seems like they're done with focusing exclusively on anyone particular ser of hardware
To any Nintendo fans this is no disrespect to what Nintendo was able to achieve with the Nintendo switch, if we had a thread talking about who won the portable wars I would tell you that Nintendo 100% won that for the same reason that Sony wins this 1...
If you push your competitor out of that market to the point where there are no longer focused on something like that to the same degree they were prior, Clearly you have been extremely successful for that simply to be an option for that company.
So the Nintendo switch HDMI cord is equivalent to something like the playstation portal , it is saying that we understand someone wishes to play like this but we concede that this is no longer the majority market that we are in...
