Still have competition between Sony? According to who? All Xbox have talked about is wanting to offer people the best value and that everyone should be able to play everything regardless of system, then they go ahead to promote their games on PS consoles while more games are being kept away from Xbox consoles. Sony now feel emboldened enough to price their products as if they can get away with anything, not like someone operating in a competetive market. Right now their business isn't making people happy nor is it currently positioned to make any sort of worthwhile return on the huge investments they've made, so what exactly are they in the business for? If you're gonna make it out like they have their own rationale behind all these anti-consumer moves, you have to actually show some clear proof that it's actually leading to something positive. Right now all we know for sure is their market share is rapidly declining, Gamepass growth is not where they projected it to be and their brand image has arguably never been worse (up there with the Xbox One reveal/Kinect Overlord days). No one expects any corporation to be naturally consumer-friendly, although when it comes to Nintendo specifically they've set themselves apart from every other publisher in video games when it comes to their business philosophy. But as you've mentioned it should be common sense for a brand to please customers to a certain extent if they want to actually have some sustainable and long-term success in the market, yet right now Xbox are definitevely doing neither well, so what exactly have they been doing other than emptying out their Microsoft inheritance fund? |
And just to point out the hypocrisy of that statement, Hi-Fi Rush is not coming to Xbox One because, you know, "it makes more sense" for Microsoft to put their games on their competitor's platforms.
