Good. I love how each platform holder is going for their own unique strategy.
I expect success from all three in the next five years and I couldn't care less who "wins".

When i read some comments and click profiles: "Age 35" and still console warring, i always roll my eyes and move on.
Some people are taking gaming way too seriously.
Their kids are probably reading their posts thinking that they are clowns.

These sites really try to fuel the console war.
I remember that Kotaku interview from November where the interviewer tries all ways to get Greenberg to say something they can use as console wars. He doesnt and then they made the article title console warrior. To get clicks. This is the title.
And this is the question with the response.

I think it more likely means both adding the resources to make deadlines and also making promises that can reasonably be kept. Halo was an issue for them this gen but look at Forza and how well managed that's been, I think Forza is more the ideal model they're talking about.
I cant imagine having kids and console warring on a forum.
I would legit have nothing to say to a kid.
If they can talk they would probably put me in my place if i tried to discipline them.
They would have a perfect comeback everytime.
I think Microsoft is done with hardware competition and don't care to sell like Sony. They are focused on their ecosystem penetration and gamepass.
I think soon or later we gonna see gamepass on PlayStation.
I think this is smart from them. Worldwide they can't compete with Sony on hardware but they can have better revenue with software and services.

It seems like MS wants to control the narrative and they can't do that if Sony won't allow Xbox Live sign in integrated.
We won't see GP on PS.
MS would love it of course but it doesn't make any sense for Sony.
They do have a different focus. Microsoft is all in on building a "play anywhere" ecosystem, offering a good range of different titles on Game Pass, and now adding streaming to that. Sony's more about traditional console stuff and tentpole games from their studios who are very established at making those.
It's obvious to anyone but the most insane console warriors that Microsoft has been forging its own path in the last couple of years, disrupting the market with Game Pass, simultaneous releases on PC, focusing on different game genres to Sony, even bringing back Flight Sim. The differences are only likely to become more prevalent as we move in to next gen.
Enjoy it, surely good that we have multiple platform holders doing their own thing. And when I say platform holders I also include the likes of Stadia and Steam. Ecosystems are the platforms of the future not hardware devices.

Yes but it's important that we split the same interview in to lots of threads just because!
To be honest nothing really changes as you get older. Young warriors become old warriors.
Microsoft is releasing a new dedicated console, and Sony are expanding their place in streaming with PlayStation Now. The Venn diagram of their focuses is nearly a circle.
Both companies are shooting off into two different directions, Sony is more traditional with a sprinkling of new with PS Now and possibly more advanced streaming services in the future and Microsoft have gone full "I dont care how or where, we just want you to play our games" which isn't surprising as Sony is just a juggernaut at the moment.
I don't disagree at all, I was referring more to which specific elements each one emphasizes even though they broadly overlap.
