The XSS procedure that budgets consoles are a bad idea, the headache it has cause MS is not worth. It's basically them writing a check to buy timed exclusives for Sony.

I wonder if one of the two (sony or xbox) is willing to be much much weaker, in terms of hardware (for their console line).
If it means they can then sell it at like half what the other is doing.

Honestly if enough of the market is lowballing (because Switch 2 will be around for awhile).
What big benefit would it even bring if just 1 of the 3 is focusing on power / expensive machine?

Might be a power play.
I think sony could pull it off without it damaging them too much.
But thats a thing for next gen consoles.

Well the usually eat the cost, like there was no way PS4 and especially PS4 was that cheap. Hopefully, xbox will still be around and provide better competition to force each other to keep costs down. Idk if Nintendo is considered direct competition but I can see a world where Xbox and PS6 fail cost of expensive hardware and Nintendo ends up as the machine for causals who play Fifa, Madden, Cod and so on. I think this is proven with the spike in sales for the XSS when collage football released, most people don't give a fuck and will buy the cheapest system if the game they want is on it. Nintendo doesn't even need a powerful console to take these sales either cuase everything scales now.

We could be looking at a future where Xbox leaves the Hardware market and Sony whether your with Xbox or Sony this is aa failure you don't want to see happen.
