I love your positivity, "hey, Microsoft is killing their hardware division but they will still keep making money, yay!"

Let's wait to see how much this will benefit YOU in the long term.

Not that I agree with your sentiment but I chuckled at you asking how it will benefit Basil because Basil has like every platform released and based on his wishlist that dude must have thousands of games on Steam, Lmao. It won't affect Basil at all, positive or negative, if Xbox hardware ceased to exist (and that's not on a comment on if I think it will or won't) but Basil is far from locked to a single platform.

Okay,

1) I was talking more about the consumers side of things
2) I said that everyone would be affected, I didn't say that everyone would be affected negatively only; Of course the other competitors on the market would probably be benefited. Heck, Steam has been growing in the last couple of years, while Xbox presence has been decreasing, so I would argue that Steam is already benefiting from the Xbox exiting the market.

Now, if we are talking about Steam (and Nintendo) gamers, well, in theory they will not be negatively affected that much, but we already saw Nintendo following Sony´s lead and increasing the prices of their games to $70 so.. who´s to say they will not follow Sony again when they decide that it is time to raise the prices again?
