Well, you're right. But what people have been telling you is, that MS and Sony operate quite the same way and both are in similar situation. If Xbox had sold the PS5 numbers and PS5 sold Xbox numbers, you'd see Sony releasing games on Xbox, but MS not releasing games on PS5. The current situation in the market isn't whether Sony or Microsoft consider each other as competition, but the threat for Playstation and Xbox divisions is are they able to stay relevant for the companies' shareholders. |
The biggest threat to Sony and it's shareholders would be a competitive Xbox outselling PlayStation. I don't think it's right to separate competition and pleasing shareholders. One of the best ways to please shareholders is to beat your competition. I also don't agree with them being in a similar situation either. Look at Palworld as an example. Palworld released on Xbone and and XBS consoles, but on PlayStation it only released on PS5. The PS4 is more powerful than the Xbone and could have ran Palworld too. This shows that Sony cared more about PS5 sales than sales of Palworld. Xbox didn't care what platform you played it on. It just proves that Sony still cares more about selling consoles than selling software, and that brings us back to Lego Horizon adventures. They weren't willing to put Palworld or LHA on PS4 but they were switch, why. It can only be because they are worried about people keeping their PS4's and not buying PS5's. They clearly have no fear of Switch preventing sales of PS5
