Before I start, I kindly ask we keep the discussion healthy and respectful, and at least try to keep politics out of this. No company is a saint, even look at the parent company of Xbox Gaming Studios, who according to OpenSecrets, donated money to Ron Desantis.
A while ago I was listening to Kit & Krysta podcast, which I’m a huge fan of btw, Kit pointed out how he will always play on all three systems. ( Nintendo, Xbox and PS.)
It was one of those “ohhhh” moments for me, we only indeed have three main hardware players in the gaming market. I’m a Nintendo fan myself, I only play on their systems, and mostly 1st party titles.
But seeing how the current Gen is going, Microsoft trying to acquire Activision and Sony going through their own BS, I feel like now more than ever before, we need a real new competitor, someone to disrupt the cozy party and add some spice.
The reason I chose Tencent is because 1) They already own bunch of gaming studios 2) have experience in hardware development and 3) are from China. The last one is important for me, because I believe in multipolar market, thus in my eyes it would be better for the gaming market to have as diverse range of options as possible.
You’d have more American systems like Xbox, traditional Japanese Nintendo systems and then, Eastern Tencent systems from China.
I’m also very curious if you have any other ideas which companies might benefit from entering the hardware gaming market. I’m sure there are others out there as well.
