Why are people trying to lump Sony in with everything Xbox is doing?
Why must this always happen? Shades of always online DRM again, only for Sony to release the briefest of clap-backs that shut everyone up and drove the nail in the coffin.
Sony have their problems, but those are very different problems to the one Xbox is facing right now.
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.
