Imho MSFT overestimates the loyalty of video game fans to a game franchise vs a console ecosystem. Even if the deal should go through and even if it should result in - let's say - CoD being exclusive to Xbox, I don't think a lot of fans would then switch away from Playstation just for that.
I am much much more interested in PS6 hardware details. Although we are at least 5 years away from that. If Sony continue to stick to AMD and x86 then the cost of console is only going to go up. If they change to ARM v9 or Something like RISC-V for cost savings they break backward compatibility.
I love how this whole thing is just showing Sony Playstation's true colors.<p>I trust Microsoft. I do not trust Sony. There are so many PlayStation exclusives that I wish were on PC that just won't ever be, for no reason.
The problem with this gen of Xbox is that why would I get one when I have a gaming PC? It makes much more sense to pair the PC with a PS5 for its exclusives.
