Who is Sony's biggest competitor? Sony. they screwed themselves last time. they can only screw themselves this time. or not.

Who is Nintendo's biggest Competitor? good question.

Who is Microsoft's biggest competitor? Sony, but MS may soon screw themselves. it depends on whether they focus more on multimedia. or games. they can't start the 8th gen. like ended the 7th.

Who is Valve's biggest Competitor? i'm not sure i follow

Is Apple a competitor? If so who is Apple's Biggest Competitor? Apple compete with themselves and no one else.



EDIT: My list

Sony vs MSFT/  Sony vs Samsung outside of gaming 

MSFT vs Apple/ Games - MSFT vs Sony

Nintendo vs Apple in handhelds 

Valve vs EA Origin

Apple vs MSFT, Nintendo, (Google)Android

you failed to mention Ouya, which tells me allot of your expectations.


Smartass :P lol

No i dont expect ouya to do that well.  i think it will go pretty unnoticed.  The casual market is already gone.  I dont think ive really said much about my wisdom and expectations on vgchartz, hmmm.  

Well speaking of that, it is why i think nintendo will struggle this gen compared to last gen because 7 years ago when the Wii came out the casual market exploded onto the Wii.  But now a lot has changed and a lot of the casual market moved onto phones and tablets.   That is customers that will never come back unfortunately.

Ouya is in a similar situation.  The casual market is already dominated by Apple and Android.  Ouya wont breakth through to that market

Microsoft specifically mentioned wanting to beat Sony as their reason to enter the console market. I'd say that's a pretty solid declaration of war.

Nintendo doesn't have competitors because they have a monopoly over the Nintendo market. Third parties? Who needs them, right?

Smartass :P lol or so thy tell me. i get that allot

Ouya's going to do ok. yea i expect ok, maybe 3-10m. and no you haven't really said anyhing about Ouya, but we have talked about it somewhat. no need for a thread. the Bioshock infinite DLC thread didn't get any attention, so i'm sure a thread dedicated to opinions on Ouya wouldn't gain much traction.

yea and i are the main ones that talk about how dead the casual market is, but what about programers? i'm going to try and learn basi coding so i can work on Ouya.

Well speaking of that, it is why i think nintendo will struggle this gen compared to last gen because 7 years ago when the Wii came out the casual market exploded onto the Wii.  But now a lot has changed and a lot of the casual market moved onto phones and tablets.   That is customers that will never come back unfortunately.

yep ninty better do allot of hoping and praying, and bring monster hunter to Wiiu.

Ouya wasn't designed for the casual market. it's the ultimate alternative. based simply on what the Ouya team has said they want to accomplish with Ouya, my 3-10m number is a pipe dream.hackers, want to be deelopers, blah blah blah should get something out og it, so maybe just a good 400k-1m

If we're looking at this as a whole, and not just small pieces of each companies overall business then I'd say Sony is not even a blip on Microsoft's radar. Apple is the end goal for MS, but to get there they have to take out Google first, so right now MS biggest competitor and the one they care about beating most is Google. These 2 companies already despise each other far more than MS or Sony dislike one another.

Google has began playing dirty already as well. They refuse to put any of their apps on Windows Phone, so there is no official Gmail app or Youtube app for Windows phone. There is no Google Maps either, and in fact Google sabotaged WP8 about a month ago by blocking access to their maps even through IE on WP8. They claimed it was an accident and took a good 2 weeks to "fix" it. More recently Google announced that they are changing something in regards to Gmail (active exchange or something I believe) so that WP8 users who use gmail won't be able to sync their contacts or calendar.

Google makes billions from their search engine and MS has encroached on that territory with Bing. MS makes billions from office software which Google has now gotten into that. Both of them are trying to catch apple in the mobile world. Believe me, if you asked MS which company they'd rather see fail between Sony and Google they would not even have to think about it.

Yeah I was.  Basically without much advertising this thing wont take off the way some people want.  it is cool that it can be good for hackers which will help it out but I dont expect any more than 1.5 and that is at most.
