Wait, are we still pretending that Microsoft is considered a part of the console business? Talk about some Wekend at Bernie’s shit.

You gotta admire Phils eye contact game here. It'd be hard for me to look at that mustard face with those massive hams right there.

Sony. Them putting all their chips into GaaS and Marvel games reminds me of when MS turned their back on their base and pushed Kinect. We'll see how it all plays out.

Sony's big push to GaaS doesn't put them in the hot seat? Seems biased.
- Sony: has the best selling game of the year, has a console selling at a record breaking pace, has managed to top charts even with full priced late ports, has chart topping accessories, has a GOTY contender announced for later this year
- Nintendo: is en route to having the bestselling console of all time (with no price drop), has an absurdly stacked lineup for said console in its final year, has a successor confirmed for release soon, has at least one GOTY contender lined up for later this year
- Microsoft: has started to put games on competing consoles, their last big release flopped, their upcoming games for the year aren't dated (and prone to delays judging by history), Series X and S are almost non-entities in non-Anglosphere markets, was forced to disrupt operations thanks to the ABK acquisition

- MS is clearly on the hot seat, which is why they're by far the most interesting and inventive right now. Out of necessity.
- Sony is on a lukewarm seat. Just lost a CEO, development pipeline seems to have massive problems with head of production fired as well, GAAS bets cratering, investors demanding answers. But their consumer base is ecstatic about the product so it's lukewarm seat temperature at best.
- Nintendo is on a room temperature seat with a slight cool breeze blowing. Doing phenomenally well, but launching a new console is always a massive risk. People loved the Wii but they couldn't carry them over to Wii U, and that could happen again. Or they could do better than ever and get more 3rd party support with their next machine than they have even now.

We already know the deal with Sony and MS.
So Nintendo is my choice.

Yes. Doing a good job of hiding her tattoos in that interview. Did think she was sitting weird.

Analysis - Platform - Is there really no path forward for Xbox as a platform?
Xbox's standing in the market has never been worse than it is right now. They are getting their ass handed to them from all sides of the market, and I wonder if there is any future for them as a platform holder. The problem is that there are four frontiers on which Xbox can fight this fight...

This is still insane to me. This is how you know every department involved is killing it. Amazing product. Amazing price. Near endless demand.

Switch is making Nintendo money hand over fist. Sony has a lack of great exclusives and are trying to dip their toes in the GaaS world because they will need it to survive soon. Microsoft missed the mark and is going 3rd party.

Sorry OP, but Sony is. Microsoft has the money and nintendo has the margins. Consoles are fading and Sony in the future will be in more trouble than the other two.

Obviously Microsoft
But the "Sony no" bit is a joke.
Just a few problems for them: PSVR2 was sold at a massive premium but given very little support, more of an also-ran in the space of VR, which is surely insulting to purchasers; their Western games have taken a nosedive and are falling prey to the same corporate political insertions that we see in other braindead companies like Disney, gradually borderline indistinguishable from them; the cost of PS5 development versus the rewards in terms of new games seems off balance, making it a poor generation compared to former ones; etc

all of em kind of
as a pc gamer with a massive dong, not sure xbox or ps can satisfy me anymore.
nintendo might pull a wii u again and name the switch2 the "switcheroo" or something.
