Sorry, are we going to switch the conversation now to "who won this generation?" Because I was just answering to the claim that "People forget that xbox basically gave up this gen, 2 years into it."

In terms of software developement (games), they clearly did cut back alot.
They didnt litteraly give up (stop competeing at all), but they stopped trying to win vs sony, early into the gen (imo thats giveing up).

I stated it was in terms of games, and funding for that area.

But... you know that to implement BC they needed to spend money, LOTS of money. Especially considering the amount of games that they enhanced on it (which is probably why Sony did not do it).

And you know that to convince more than 100 developers to put their games on Gamepass they also needed money, LOTS of money (which is probably why Sony is charging $19.99 for their own version). Especially when considering that they convinced some of those developers to put their games over there on Day one. That's not the kind of things that you can do using only words, you know?

So yeah, if you tell me you believe that they invested on the wrong things, then ok, that is an opinion I can understand. But telling me that they gave up? I would have to disagree on that one.

And I mean.. is not like Sony has been pumping out games every three months in the last couple of years, have they?
