Main reason would be look at historic and Playstation always managing to win against Xbox.

How so? I think MS has definitely taken the necessary steps to increase their output both quantitatively and qualitatively, but so have Sony. 

Someone (with time) should count how many studios they each started this gen with and how many they have now. I think MS has purchased a lot more.

Yes they bought a lot more, but none of them really put up a fight against the studios Sony already had. And insomniac alone is more relevant than almost the sum of what MS bought.

Well, now those studios have a lot more money they can tap into to make their dream games. I can't imagine Phil did this only to tell them they have to stay conservative. Here's hoping those studios shine like they never have before.

I just wish, through some oddball loophole in the contract, Obsidian has the rights to KOTOR 2 and completely remakes it if these rumors of Disney making a new KOTOR game are false. I need SOMETHING KOTOR related lol.

Money doesn't solve these type of problems. The studios already had their knowledge and capability and just throwing money at it won't improve that fast. Sure those studios can grow, mature, etc. But money on a studio EA, Ubisoft and other big publishers have a lot of money and studios still their games don't have the level of quality Sony have been putting.

MS also have the objective of 3-4 games a year so they will have some limit on the scope of the games and they calling those games AAA don't really mean they will be as grand as what Sony is already outputting. Even more because their objective is keep Gamepass feed and it is acceptable to have A, AA and AAA games coming instead of only AAA even more when 3rd parties also put games there.

As a Nintendo fan I find strange that you want the game close to Xbox.

As an Xbox player, I think Sony will have the next generation advantage, but MS will be in a more competitive position and with an expansion of services on several platforms.
Also this 2020 comes very well with games for Xbox One.
-Ori and the will of the wisps
-Bleeding Edge
-Cuphead DLC
-Gears Tactics
-Wasteland 3
-Tell me why
-Crossfire X
-Battletoads
-Grounded
-MS Flight simulator (Not sure about this game in xbox one)
-Halo Infinite
Good quantity of games and great variety.
My most wanted game anyway is Phantasy Star Online 2 (Old game i know) and try the Yakuza series in gamepass.

Sony Will win again, I don't Microsoft built any momentum in terms of exclusives this gen. One could say "The PS2 crushed the Xbox, and the 360 lost a very tight race the following gen." That would be true, but the OG Xbox had many more highly rated exclusives in its resume and franchises like Halo were starting to soar....fast forward to today....and there hasn't been a great Halo game since Reach. So yeah ...Microsoft has an uphill battle next gen.

I think the 360 was a bigger success story than the PS3...

I stopped reading when he suggested that the potential Switch Pro would be a response to the PS5 and XBox Series X.



Signature goes here!

Sounds like a reasonable and understandable outcome.
