The issue is the industry isnt big enough for 3 big hardware manufacturers. It has choosen the two. It was Nintendo and Sega to now Nintendo and Sony. The 3rd manufacturer always struggles to stay in. Its shown in the history. Thats why we have seen so many brands drop out of the hardware industry. Its not sustainable unless you are 1 of the top 2.

You keep propagating that lie. And it's just that... A lie.

The console market has supported 3 manufacturers just fine for decades now.

And Microsoft has literally just confirmed they are staying in the console hardware space.

Bro, stop calling it a lie. 

There is a difference between having 3 companies in the industry and sustaining 3 companies in the industry.

Yes the industry has always had a 3rd, and history has shown eventually that 3rd drops out. 

MS is willing to bite the bullet on it, good for them. Mark my words and iv said it plenty of times now. It may not be this gen or the next, Xbox will leave the hardware space for either some hybrid type system or flat out full digital/Streaming service provider.
