Looks like Xbox and Sony are fighting to be the worst company again

The new console wars are the race to the bottom.

Funny how some people think this is good for business, “competition” lol

[u/CantCatchMeSpez → u/ChainsawVisionMan]

Just another example of what we have to look forward to with the rest of capitalism. The innovation and competition phase is over. From now on, its rent-seeking time.

[u/Buck-Stedman → u/QF_Dan]

My thoughts exactly. A new console war for who can make the worst choices

Always have been

Do people care about cloud gaming again?

[u/-Sinn3D- → u/BitingSatyr]

We will once we are priced out of all hardware

[u/Galinhooo → u/BitingSatyr]

Most don't, it seems like it will affect 4% of the users so it is low enough. On the other side, it cuts a lot of the """ potential """ costumers so those will talk shit.

They didn't before but suddenly do now.

Sony is just Sony, Xbox seems to be getting sabotaged by Microsoft every time they start gaining steam

[u/Zalvren → u/EyeArDum]

The Sony group is larger than just Playstation if you go this way
