Steam it the one to profit from all of this since, both Sony and Microsoft games will be on Steam at some point. Sony pushes more and more to PC market and Microsoft already release everything on the platform as well.
I feel like PC gamers are getting the best deal out of it. Sony exclusives are a bit late but playable at high frame rate, gamepass is great value (for now), and still too many indie games and others 3rd party titles.
GPU pricing is still really really really awful though.
It’s sad honestly, to buy out the competition to increase the sales on your out of stock and scalped consoles, and subsequentely their almost mandatory services, like PS plus, so that you actually unlock what you payed for previously.
Things like that should be illegal, you shouldn’t be able to buy out a game company, just to remove it from your competition.
Everyone crying about exclusives when Microsoft are basically abandoning console hardware and moving everything onto the cloud right now. Xbox is being replaced by Gamepass and that is available on your phone, PC and soon smart TVs and I’m sure they’d love to get it on Switch and PS5 too if they could.
Sony and Nintendo will stick to their dedicated hardware model while Gamepass will be available on your fridge.

Mutual destruction in the console wars

I don’t support exclusives. Gaming is for everybody. Nobody should be excluded because of their choice of platform.
the age of acquisition exclusive is upon us, we are evolving but backward
Hey, Epic did quite well with Rocket League, didn’t we hate on them at some point?

PC gamers just winning all over
More and more consolidation, buying all 3 consoles isn’t a luxury anymore its a requirement.
Everyone crying about exclusives when Microsoft are basically abandoning console hardware and moving everything onto the cloud right now.

I mean. Sony and Microsoft are both releasing games on PC pretty consistently. Even if it is delayed a bit.
Honestly if I compare the quality of games released in the past 2 years, I’d wager the exclusive ones average in much higher reviews
Sony has insisted (and Bungie has also verified) they won’t make their games exclusive.
Now Microsoft on the other hand… Not sure why you guys are even comparing the two. Microsoft is on a whole other level with the exclusive shenanigans.
