| EricHiggin said: As the saying goes, if you're not winning, you're losing. That is the case here with consoles, even if XB profits are growing. You can only milk the same cow so much. Eventually you need more cows. This was said over and over tonight in the podcast. XB needs to grow gaming or eventually they're going to 'run out of milk'. The console pie really hasn't grown much for decades. Continually splitting the pie isn't sustainable, especially if you keep getting a smaller slice. |
Especially when it comes to business. It's about growth and how to make even more money, not just making the same amount of money as last gen. Sony is also in a tough spot with shareholders. They need to make more money than the PS4 because that's what the investors want to see, growth, and because PS4 set the bar high, we are now seeing Sony make decisions like expanding games to PC because how else are they going to top the PS4? They won't, by just doing the exact same thing the PS4 did. They need to expand to grow, otherwise the PS5 will sell exactly the same as the PS4 and not increase their shares.
All console brands today are making profits, however is it enough for all 3 to grow? No. Hence the radically shift to PCs and Mobile.
