A console primarily is a choice by budget. And people have
• different budgets and
• only even want to spend different budgets
I think it’s a bad business choice them leaving the console business.
And in turn a good business choice from Sony to keep building a classic home console with PS6. (Which I highly doubt won’t even exceed nor even touch PS5 Pro’s release price.)
When they bought Zenimax and ActivisionBlizzardKing, they should have upped their Xbox support program to 100bn and spend the rest of it for building studios & creating new games, giving their developers freedom & full creative control.
But they hit the roof at 75bn. This was it.
And then went to maximize profits by 30% starting Fall 2023, according to Bloomberg, and put their bets only on “Call of Duty in Gamepass will do”.
I can already picture their next premium Xbox failing at a 90:10 chance.
