Sony
Nintendo
Phil said they lost the Xbox One generation and said there is no great solution or win for us when it comes to competing against Sony and Nintendo.
That very much sounds like Phil is admitting defeat against Sony and Nintendo in the console space.
This is a very different mindset from nearly 10 years ago.

They also talked about being more competitive (which also refers to the console space) within the past year while trying to get this ABK deal approved and now things seem to be changing again.
Phil does in fact sound defeated.
Phil literally said: "I see commentary that if you just build great games, everything would turn around. It's just not true that if we go off and build great games, all of a sudden you're going to see console share shift in some dramatic way".
The only thing this refers to is outselling Sony or gaining a significant marketshare in consoles sold. Nothing less, nothing more.
Do you really think they'd spend $7.5billion on Zenimax and $70 billion if they didn't want to compete?
I really, really want NeoGAF to grow again as a community but the level of discourse here is so mind numbingly weak. It's insane.
