Sure I can, watch me. I mean consoles are one of the most consumer hating devices that exist and people love them, and people love to champion one consumer hating device over the other. Since we can't police companies themselves what we gotta do is pit them against each other, which is the only thing we can do. Last thing I checked competition is a good thing, even, or especially, if both competitors are big piles of shit. Or do you have a better solution to reduce the amount of shit both companies spew? |
If one does not want to support one console brand, you can go to another. If one does not want to support consoles, you can go to PC or mobile or retro. Console wars on PC is awful due to keeping the platform that's, by definition, the most open and flexible of all, and impose artificial limits. The only thing PC-wars is going to cause is an increase in (justified) piracy.
Hell, if one really wants to put the pressure on a business, public boycotts usually work wonders. You'd have to convince people to follow it through, but once done that, it puts juggernauts against the ropes fast. I'm sure we all have dozens of games unplayed and/or unbeaten to keep us busy without buying any new one for years.
