Sony and Nintendo are in competition. But are they really?

I just much prefer Nintendo. It has more interesting and likable characters. Sony used to be like that, but they abandoned Crash Bandicoot and Spyro the Dragon in favor of bleak interactive movies about mushroom zombies, and some angry bald douchebag covered in the ashes of his dead family in a world where there are practically no good people. I've had to put up with enough cynical fuckery in real life, especially this decade, I don't need shit like that in video games.

I always wondered why Sony didn't buy the Crash and Spyro IPs from Universal. I mean, they did replace them the following generation with Jak, Ratchet, and Sly, which they did own outright, but only Ratchet and Clank survives today. And even Infamous and Resistance have been replaced with Ghosts of Tsushima/Yotei and Spider-Man.

All of Sony's modern IPs (besides Astro Bot and Ratchet & Clank) are so realistic that they've become generic.
