I mean, it sounds like they’re copying Microsoft’s “everything is an Xbox” lunacy, but its unclear if that’s reality based on what I read there.
But I’d not be surprised if the “Spider-Man pointing at Spider-Man” meme applies to this, given how focussed the VP of each company’s console division is on their main competitor.
No, they arrived at the conclusion, for good reason, that the addressable console market isn’t growing using the old methods. So rather than hold on to exclusives with the myth that exclusives are going to drive adoption for Xbox, they’ll just port their games everywhere and make Game Pass available when possible, and Sony likely came to a similar conclusion. Even though they’re doing way better than Xbox, they also seemingly came to the conclusion that the ceiling is much higher without console exclusivity.

But who knows… Perhaps not even them? 🤷♂️
If they’re not growing their platform beyond what the market was 15-20 years ago, is it lunacy?
Are you linking “everything is an Xbox” with growing their platform? Are you new at internet arguments?

And „community-based engagement business“ is…?

The thing Sony has done so well at over the last decade.
