PlayStation and Xbox just completing conceding the kids gaming market to Nintendo is a mistake that is not talked about enough. Aside from missing out on a huge demographic, all of these kids grow up with no affinity for those consoles/brands.

God this suckssssss. One of the best games of the year and one of the best Metroidvanias ever. Making a good game is the hard part and the team nailed it. Should be up to the publisher to figure out how to sell it. Why is the team punished?.

My Far Cry 6 preview is filled with criticism of Far Cry 6, and yet I'm still quoted in this Kotaku story as being part of a games press giving it a free pass. Oh, and the link to my article goes to the wrong site. What gives, @Kotaku @ethangach?.

343 should be Microsoft's premier studio. Laying off staff there is embarrassing, shortsighted, and hurts the already shaky confidence in Xbox's ability to release quality first-party games in the future.

Activision literally doesn't even deny that Kotick threatened to have a former assistant killed, they're just saying it was "obviously hyperbolic". I think if I threatened to kill a co-worker I'd be pretty fired.
Bobby Kotick has himself been accused of mistreating women who worked for him, including telling a former assistant in a voicemail that he would have her killed.

This is all insanity. Infinite growth if inherently impossible and yet somehow has become the standard goal. Even the most flush-with-cash studios like Epic will just fire 900 people at the first sign of slowing down?. Maybe if Tim had sold more merch for his lawsuit.
Epic cuts .- about 870 workers laid off.- another 250 exiting via divestiture of Bandcamp and spin-off of SuperAwesome.- CEO Tim Sweeney blames slow Fortnite growth, tied to user shift toward lower-margin creator content.

I do think it's a little wild that people were saying that Xbox is going to publish more games on other platforms and then they announce that they're gonna publish more games on other platforms and a lot of peoples' takeaway is "this is why you can't trust rumors.".

I guess I'm more on the "I don't think this will be a good thing" side. Xbox can afford to compete and should. I just don't know how well an Xbox console does if its only selling point is Game Pass while PS is where you can play Spider-Man and Indiana Jones.
@JeffGrubb I think that if true and all Xbox games go to PlayStation, it will eventually lead to the end of Xbox making actual boxes. I understand some people's inclination to imagine this isn't a big deal and it's just "more games more places", but eventually PS will have less competition.

I know Sony thinks that it's being a good guy by releasing these big games on PS4 too, and of course there is money to be made there, but it still feels misguided to me. And of course the whole "we believe in generations" thing is constantly there to haunt them.
