All of their fuck-ups were self-inflicted and they made so many of them imo. Killing exclusives and TALKING about it instead of just doing it killed their Hardware business.

lol at this Reddit tier take. MS is a software company you idiot. No one actually WANTS to be the company selling subsidized hardware to proles. Sony is no Apple.
Ok good luck selling the 10,001th piece of “software” on steam every year that no one gives a fuck about and having everything flop including Outer Wolds 2 at like 185,000k units sold. You only think that “ecosystems” are salient when they’re successful af like Nintendo before they stopped making games + Apple. The second there’s any adversity with anything you cope by saying it’s a waste of time and doesn’t matter anyway. You do this with fucking EVERYTHING including life itself.
Also you’re talking like an investor. You have less stock than any of us can possibly imagine. Sony basically Lost money while winning the PS3 gen. Sega basically made no money with the Genesis. This is what you want. You get so many more/better games when Firms are competing. 10,000k games on steam isn’t competition. It’s just Nerds throwing shit against the wall.
