Microsoft is going down the path Sega took years ago. Just let go of the hardware and focus only on the games. I remember seeing Sonic for the first time on the PlayStation, was a surreal moment. Now all these Xbox titles are coming over and it sure feels like history repeating. And while I've only had the original big fat Xbox, I've had every PlayStation (except for the PS3, was an era where I didn't game anymore) and currently rock a PS5 Pro and I hate to see the Xbox go. One simple reason: competition. Nintendo is in a different segment of the market and can co-exist easily next to Sony, but if the Xbox is abandoned, Sony won't have anyone anymore to compete. They'll be able to start squeezing even harder and try to get that last penny out of our pockets and we'd have nothing against them but stop playing games we'd all love to play... The customer always loses when there's no competition.
And rumors are Sony are working on a Switch 2 competitor... Sure hope Nintendo will be able to keep on going with their exclusives, because a powerful portable PlayStation... The "shut up and take my money" meme comes to mind.
