Do you predict any company to cover Microsoft's place on console market ?

No. We're past that point in this industry. We will see Amazon still try and push Luna for the moment. Apple collect cash on the App Store games. Google will probably take another stab at it in another way sometime in the future. Hardware does not generate profit and in the era of digital taking over and streaming what is even the point? Valve is as close as we will get but they are aiming for a niche market not a mass appeal one.


Microsoft did not enter console gaming to be about gaming. Their entire goal with the original Xbox. 360. XBO were the same. They even said it each one of those generations. They wanted Xbox to be the all in one entertainment hub. Early 2000s everyone chased that. 360 had Windows XP Media Center built in the beginning. First to get Netflix on a console. TBH this was Sony's goal as well with their first 3 consoles. We don't live in that era anymore where it makes sense to chase that.

Hardware generates profits if you are NVidia or TSMC or Apple and faceroll all the trillions of your market cap to your opponents. :D
