I'm going to have to disagree. Microsoft still needs a traditional console or else Sony will have all the leverage. Even as a third party publisher / developer that is bad.What would stop Sony from charging 50% fee instead of the 30% fee for each video game sold from Microsoft? Xbox consoles keep Sony in check from doing anything crazy.

However, I do think Microsoft will allow users to buy a windows license or enable "windows mode" on Xbox with a game pass subscription.

Sony will have to worry about PC and Nintendo stealing their players or outgrowing them. Lines between handhelds, home consoles, and PC's are more blurred than ever. "Indirect" competitors are not so indirect anymore.

Xbox's exit won't make things easy for Sony. PS6 may not be close to PS5 in popularity even without Xbox keeping them in check. Sony's immediate threat is PC, they just don't know it yet.

^This. Sony needs to learn to push console sales and focus on good single-player exclusives that are around 20-40 hours long. No more PC ports. No more GaaS. Everything runs at 60 FPS because graphical fidelity is too expensive and 60 FPS should be standard. Exclusive games that people can actually finish and don't wind up being 800 million dollar boondoggles.
