    Playstation won with the PS5 because MS realized PC players have more money and went back to them.

    MS left the game because they found a better game.

      Let’s not forget that with Gamepass, it’s not just a better game by folding in PC, but they’re doing something completely different with their consoles than Sony is. More and more, Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo are either competing with Valve or against themselves, and not each other.

        Except for Nintendo, they’re still just doing what they’ve been doing for the last 20 years, releasing consoles with outdated hardware and relying on gimmicks to sell them, at this point they’re not even trying to compete anymore, Valve is a stronger competitor for Microsoft and Sony than Nintendo nowadays.

          Nintendo has always been the king of handheld for as long as handheld gaming has been a thing.

          I’d put a lot of money on them viewing Valve as their biggest threat currently.
