It's so surreal watching Xbox take 2-3 console generations to implode and disappear, when other systems managed to do it in a single gen. Xbox fans just keep holding on after 13 years of almost nothing but bad news and a slow decline. They hit their peak with 360 and have been getting worse ever since. I imagine they will take another 7 years to fully dissolve into cloud/streaming. Big companies like MS, Amazon, Google, and Facebook all need to be broken up. Someone else could have entered the console space by now and done better. Or Sony could have been broken up too and we would have Playstation vs Playstation's spinoff company. Instead we have these Zombie corporations that are just placeholders and tie up enough of the market to make entering impossible for newcomers, while encouraging their competition to do less and less. It's like watching a two man footrace where one competitor just wants to walk. And the other competitor just walks slightly faster because he knows that he doesn't need to try to win. So you wind up with this boring non-competitive duopoly that we have now. Like trying to vote Republican or Democrat when both parties fully support raising rent, lowering wages, and bombing Gaza.
