I have to disagree there. If Google's console is in the same ballpark of the PS5/X2 in terms of power and price, and features the same multiplats, then consumers will choose based on brand and exclusivities. And in that scenario, Sony and MSoft have a clear advantage over them.

Unless they are dumb they will sell for cheaper at similar performance.

Because even if they have a lot of exclusives they are creating, they don't have recognition so "no one" would chose their exclusives.

And then we're coming to the "how cheap can they sell it" point of all this venture. How much are they willing to lose with the hardware to break in the market with as many units as possible while trying to recoup some of those loses with the software? I mean, Sony and Msoft have the Live and PSN subscriptions to help them lowe their price if they find it necessary, but Google doesn't have any of that either... at least yet.

In any case, time will tell.
