Im talking hypotethically in the case if the xbox series x it's his last console.Xbox technically already is third party since they publish some of their games on other platforms. Minecraft is on everything!
That could be true, but according to someone, tencent is the best option.None. If a company with Microsoft's resources can't make it work, you'd have to be a damn fool to try entering the race.
Tencent is only involved in video games insofar as owning stocks in studios. They don’t directly manage the game development process as far as I know.That could be true, but according to someone, tencent is the best option.
And "steam machines" before thatSteam took a stab with the Deck but that’s more a handheld PC than an actual console
If there was one thing Ouya demonstrated, it's this by a country mileBasically: it’s incredibly difficult to establish a new video game platform. Sony and Nintendo are deeply entrenched in the psyche of consumers.
Well that's fitting considering time is a flat circleSega, because only japanese platform holders know what gamers really want.
on the other hand I hate hate hate their desire to grow and grow.
Well yes, I understand capitalism, Nintendo has done many bad things, I guess I moreso mean the desire for buyouts in the game industry was far smaller a few years ago, ABK feels like an escalation and its led to Sony fans calling for some retaliation and Nintendo fans insisting they need to buy all their outsource studios like Hal like yes they all want to grow I mean it actually feels like Sony and Nintendo are a lot less interested in expansion by buyout. Now somehow miraculously the anti-trust system may have actually scored a win for once but the intent is clear.All companies want to grow and grow. Amazon owns a movie studio. Google owns Fitbit. Embracer owns both a giant board game company and a top-five comic book publisher. AMC (the meme stock theater chain) owns a 22% share of a mining company. Through a weird quirk of history, AMC Networks (the TV channel company) owns the publishing rights to Agatha Christie’s books.
I’m not saying you should or shouldn’t hate Microsoft, and/or all these other companies, for wanting to grow and grow and grow. I’m just saying it’s a little weird to single MS out for pursuing growth. Nintendo went from a playing card company to a global entertainment powerhouse, after all.
This is the way.Sega, because only japanese platform holders know what gamers really want.
Yeah, in most of the ways that matter, the Quest basically is a console.Arguably meta are already a console maker. Quest 2 has sold 20 million units (coming up on GameCube and Xbox) and is standalone with its own store that it gets a cut of all sales from.
Of course a big argument against that is meta is positioning VR as beyond gaming ("metaverse") so if that whole bullshit fails they may drop it altogether and if it succeeds that it won't really be a console business anymore.
