Agreed on all points. The Sonytoo rhetoric is beyond tedious at this point, as well. Of course, it doesn't help when Phil just cannot resist warring at every opportunity.

let me put it in this way:
Would you like to have a muscular, good-looking 'handyman' living in the same house as you and your wife to help with household chores?"

but why would they do that?
besides minor things and PR BS fluff, xbox and PS are pretty much the same machines and they will likely continue that if they both go AMD

That will eliminate literally all console competition. Nah, I’ll pass. The last this already money-hungry industry needs is a monopoly.

The 30% Store Cut is what drives ALL of the exclusives from MS, Sony, and Nintendo.
The only way Microsoft or Sony would share a unified console vision is if:
1) That goes away
Or
2) They can come to some form of "agreement" like the Blu-Ray adoption had with a fixed split of proceeds from every game sold. Something like: Sony gets 20%, Microsoft gets 10% (but this is trending even more in Sony's favor with time). And getting them to agree on anything seems...doubtful at best.

What's up with all these absolutely bat-shit insane threads lately?
Days like these...
Have a Blessed Day
Sony should just exit the market.

It's annoying AF if I'm being honest, but then you see Phil Spencer basically do that himself in a 'Business Update' where he laments Xbox's problems as being the industry's problems. No Phil, your console is the one declining severely in sales due to factors unique and exclusive to the business model you've failed to successfully push for it. That's not a Sony or Nintendo problem, so stop trying to hide behind those two.
When a CEO of a platform is doing that, of course regular gamers and such would pick up the habit and do the same. But it's also because other platform holders like Sony don't have a higher-up as regularly public and wanting to run their mouth all the time like Phil Spencer does. Not saying I'd want them to have that type of person (because a lot of the people who talk about Phil sound like cult members), but I sure wouldn't mind having Kevin Butler back.
Not as much a big deal for Nintendo because Microsoft aren't constantly trying to have a go at them with public statements. At least, not yet.

No.
MS has deep enough pockets to do whatever they want.
However, they lack the competence to succeed.

MS will stick their stupid fingers where they don’t belong and fuck everything up. They have nothing to offer creatively.

Well, from a consumer perspective this would be wonderful. More so if the console would be bc with all those boxes and PlayStations.
But this won't happen. I can see Ms going in the direction of a PC box produced by other companies, but those rumors are also as old as the Xbox.

Well the market needs competition. We already witnessed an arrogant Sony without real competition.
Occasionally Sony also tries to sell bullshit (Sd cards for better mp3 Playback, trojan on board of CDs that installs automatically before the bootloader, ps3 starting price (get a second job), ...).
Don't be to loyal to a company, they all only want your best (money).
Problem with Ms is also, they are really bad at communication. Really bad marketing outside of the us, and yes sometimes it seems games get rushed out by them without quality control.

We don't want monopolies, unless they're the right kind of monopolies.
