This video was supposed to come out before the recent confirmation by Microsoft but even if its less credible I think its still a valid conversation that should be had in the event that Microsoft drops out of the Gaming market.
This Gen is already the worst Gen in history. Absolutely boring and this is coming from a Gamer who has gamed non stop since 2nd Gen consoles. Thankfully the Switch from last Gen still continues to pump out banger after banger.
Switch and the deck are carrying this generation
yeah like the opportunity to do so much is there but it just isnt capitalized on it and it sucks
Super Mario Bros. Wonder is 1 banger, not several
I don’t hold Nintendo in that high regard. But I know a lot of other players do.
@@hichaelhighers you’re forgetting about the other Mario games, Metroid games, Zelda games, Kirby games, Pikimin games, Pokemon games, Fire Emblem games and more. Huge amount of exclusives which are all top notch quality. Only thing the Switch lacks over the PS and XB is processing power and yet it still manages to keep up and outdo current gen consoles when it comes to its games.
Yeah. I agree. It is kinda bad with businesses. I mean. Exclusives are what make you want to buy a console
Exclusives make a console and when your excluisves potentially go to your biggest competitiot then you are no longer a competitior. It really makes it seems like the indsutry is gonna enter something big soon

Fantastic video, wasn't expecting a Hamilton scene at the end lol
it felt fitting so i added it. Also thank you, i appreciate it a lot :)
Hi, pc over there, what's your thought on exclusi---
I don't have any. I play everything. (except certain console games, but hey emulation usually works)
PC gaming will always be better overall, you have control for one thing.
People underestimate how smart PC is and how steam deck lowers that barrier of entry so much. It probably will become the main gaming space if consoles go under. I dont even use PC and i can still understand the full value of PC.
It's a bit unfortunate how things are turning out but we can only hope that Sony doesn't give us the government treatment. 😔
The console industry is killing itself because they are making making everything to expsensive which makes it so people wont buy games and consoles no more and something has to change or the only one remaining will be mobile. Lets hope that microsoft did the right thing
mobile and indies honestly are probably the only real ones trying to innovate but we will have to see
@@ShurikanBlade thats true
While Sony does have its hands in other sectors its also important to acknowledge playstation is largely its most successful branch of their business, often keeping its endeavors in music & film afloat when they dont turn a profit
I actually didnt know that. Its very interesting to know.
This, and with the announcement that Sony is already ending their generation early because of poor console sales is really not a good sign. Idk who could come out and save the industry, but someone needs to shake up something. The console industry has been stagnate for a long time now.
Exactly, Sony said they will have no notable releases this year and Xbox is going multiplatform. The industry really needs something to give us assurance and with Nintendo being able to fumble the next systems launch. It really is possible we enter a huge crash soon.
Microsoft has acquired a bunch of software companies. Even if they don’t make a next console (which already been announced they are), they still will be a competitor to Sony. Hardware doesn’t really matter much like it used too.
while true hardware doesnt matter the problem is that Sony realistically being the only one in the high end console market is bad because Sony has shown to be very predatory at times. If theyre the only ones you can go to for that modern experience itll be bad. Itll be near similar to apple and googles monopoly on mobile games or steams monopoly on PC games but i doubt Sony would be as lenient as steam.
There's must buy games on the playstation side, Xbox just isn't doing any 1st party games. Look at any generation, the 1st party games are super critical.
while there are "must buy game" on playstation. Most of them are cross generation meaning that there hasnt 100% been a full force reason to upgrade to PS5 for many. GtaV and maybe Elder scrolls 6 are probably gonna be the first true next gen games that actually push limits and make people want to upgrade.
I understand your point. But maybe what MS is doing, is positioning themselves where they see a future where Sony and MS aren’t the only competitors in their space.
I think MS sees mobile and eventually the cloud as the true competitors in the future.
I do think they possibly see more as their competition but imo the problem is that we arent at that point yet and Sony has shown to become predatory when they are ahead like when they denied cross play. Maybe in the future those are things we do have to worry about but i feel like we are approaching a bigger problem sooner (being a potential crash) than we will see an uprise in mobile and cloud as competitors
@@ShurikanBlade Sony would love to charge more and only make live service games with microtransactions. They previously shared they had 12 live service games in development. But feedback since has indicated some have been cancelled, and others delayed. So with no 1st party titles due until at least March 2025 (excl. the excellent Helldivers 2), Sony is in a bit of a crisis at the moment and really need to reevaluate their strategy. They can charge more all they want, but they don’t have anything to offer for over a year now and the market is changing rapidly. I think by March next year when we “might” see the next 1st party Sony title, they may be forced to place their games day 1 on PC just like they did with Helldivers 2. And if that’s the case, now PCs become a viable alternative if Sony thinks increasing their price is a good strategy. I prefer gaming on console so I hope I’m right. We’ll see…..
@@Roach22 I do think they'll charge more due to rising costs but I think the precedent of selling day 1 with PC is something that aony is taking note of. I prefer consoles way more than pc but I think that if the steam deck is refined a bit more then it'll become the new standard since it's basically the perfect hybrid of PC and console with added portability.
The problems with Steam are valid, but that Steam Deck is doing crazy things. It is, far and away, the best way to play PC games if you are a newbie. If they advertised it more, it might actually propel Valve even further than they have already gone.
I do think steam deck is the potential future. Its basically just console form PC and its so good for the consumer. I think they just gotta refine the steam deck a bit and its probably gonna be the future of gaming if Sony goes downhill
why am i predicting another crash:
its entirely possible and I think we are seeing the first of it now
@@ShurikanBlade i don’t want to be shamed for playing video games againn
@@giganticmoon FOIR REAL, video games are gonna die and then we will be shamed for it becuase its even less mainstream again
@@ShurikanBlade and then when it gets popular again people act like nothing happened!
@@giganticmoon theyll act like they were always here
I'm sorry but I can't see that damn minecraft image and not burst out laughing
its ironic
I’m not sure I agree. Phil Spencer said something about wanting “all screens to be an Xbox”. They may be backing out of the console market, but they aren’t given up Xbox game pass yet.
Also, I have a feeling that the recent success of Hell Divers 2 is gonna push Sony to do more multi platform releases. They launched it on pc day 1, and it doubled the game sales.
I dont think Gamepass will end anytime soon either but its not fighting for the same demographic as old Xbox nor Sony currently. Plus an all cloud future is scary because it may become like netlfix where they just push out lower quality things due to less revenue coming back from brand new games.
Helldivers 2 is an interesting case and we will see how Sony moves forward from this becuase they definitely have their eyes on this
This comments is guided mostly by misinformation.
It has been confirmed for a long time that Online games will have a PC day 1 release.
Helldivers 2 is one of them and it will continue to be so. It isn’t a change in strategy, it’s the already stablished one.
And the singleplayer ones are coming to PC, just a year -/+ later. And what the CEO of Sony said the other day is that he wants that window to be shorter… but that was a bit dumb of him to say because the PS 1st party studios have to prove themselves able after the THE LAST OF US 1 Disaster and proving that porting games isn’t simple.
And on the Xbox side. Game Pass is obviously not going away. Yet there is a change happening and it’s that slowly they are trying to get rid of the “Xbox” branding on the Game Pass service.
Yes Microsoft Pr takes advantage of the Fanboys they support (they are responding directly to their fan base unlike the other 2 big ones) and are trying to say that Game Pass not being on Nintendo and PlayStation is a win… when the model of having Game Pass in “every screen” would 1000% benefit by having the subscription in other devices.
They have to be working on a project to expand game pass with their cloud technology. Something like “Game Pass Mobile” if they are smart or “Game Pass TV box” if they are dumb.
Yet Sony is reporting a 10 billion loss, and Xbox is at an all time high. The truth is the console market has reached its peak, it’s not Microsoft or Sony doing this, this is because the market is evolving to move towards a world where the consumer wants to play their games everywhere, we live in a world of cloud gaming, play on any device and ever increasing mobile gaming landscape. Truth is if you grew up on PS1, Xbox and stuck it all the way out. Our time is coming to an end, exclusives hold no value anymore and playing on one machine is ending.
These companies will still produce consoles, but they just don’t hold the relevance they once did. They’ll evolve to be everywhere and offer unique gamification services whilst they’re games will be everywhere the best place to play them with the most perks will be their consoles, but games just won’t be exclusive.
This should already be obvious, it’s already happened it’s just in the transitioning phase, but mark my words in 5 years time games won’t be exclusive, the gamification of the consoles will be.
@@codearchive3218 crazy how Papa Phil says something and his children consider it an absolute fact.
This all comes down to the greed of people.
The gaming market is so much more massive today than it was during the PS2 some 20 -/+ years back. If they want to replicate that growth, then they need to somehow beat the odds and create a big gaming community out of the other continents of the world. SA and Africa being the targets and doing changes in strategy to make ensure availability and affordability.
The reason PlayStation won the console war was because they outsold the direct competition 2:1. This data alone doesn’t tell the full story. The extra data is that ex PlayStation leader Jim Ryan put a focus on dominating the European Market. Defeating Xbox who relies on Europe and NA, because they already didn’t have a presence in Asia.
And since now we can see Sony securing 3rd party exclusivity, it’s clear PS has a dominion on this high end home console market and Xbox is now DESPERATELY trying to create a Blue Ocean to leave its closest competitor out of their worries.
To add one last bit of data. PS strategy isn’t completely open and as a consumer we can see an evolution.
Why was GOWR dlc Free? And why does the Insomniac leave say that Spider 2 will have 3 free DLC packs?
If this is true, then it’s clear to say that Sony doesn’t look at 1st party as a money maker. But rather a good game offer to sell to the public to get them addicted to buy other games. Because if those games are accesible and rich in content, surely the rest of gaming has to be similar.
@@josetomascamposrobledano4618 no dude none of what you said is true they reported 10 billion in loss and are not releasing new games until March 2025, what they have planned is what they have planned. They put too much stock into the console and single player games and it isn’t working out. For god sake Helldivers 2 is way way more popular on PC than it is on PS5, and that released day and date on PC. They’re restructuring and reevaluating their strategy, don’t act like they’re winning against the worlds biggest company game pass core has 60,000,000 users (including discount codes, coupons and deals) with game pass being 34,000,000 as in people who pay and sub.
PS+ has 47,000,000 and they don’t split the numbers (this includes discount codes, coupons and deals). Xbox is winning on the new front.
Sonys fighting an uphill battle. They’re restructuring to make multiplayer live service games. Foam stars flopped, Helldivers 2 didn’t because it was released on PC also, exclusives will be timed in the near future not just on one machine forever.
What a weird take. Microsoft has been diversifying long before Sony, and it's a huge benefit to them. We'll think back on the razor and blades model of exclusive videogames on subsidized consoles the same way we'll think about Blockbuster. A business model fallen out of time, especially when you can now buy and play games without a Console or PC with streaming. The Console isn't a moneymaker anymore, it's a bridge technology for anyone who wants or needs a local experience and doesn't already have a PC, but the money will be in recurring revenue / subscriptions and game sales.
What's going to happen to someone who buys a few Xbox published games on PS5? Maybe... they'll consider that they can just stream GamePass to xCloud via their TV? Or that a Series S is sold at cost and provides a huge catalog of games for $15 a month? Xbox wins there with sheer volume of games, and even Sony customers aren't going to be only Sony customers. They'll also be Microsoft customers.
I dont think theres necessarily a future where people prefer digital over physical media like that seeing how so many people are adamant of actually owning games. I do think this is a good move for microsoft as a company but i simply think that with microsft not checking Sony then Sony can monopolize
@@ShurikanBlade If I have one conviction regarding video games, it's that physical media is a terrible way to do preservation. Hardware dies, physical media dies and copies are not unlimited (and now apparently a speculative market). Accurate emulation and de-DRM'd PC releases however... In the Xbox One platform security summit talk (worth watching) they have been quite openly implying their game preservation strategy is "releasing everything on PC".
@@acuteaura while I do agree about preservation and ease that digital brings. The problem is that you don't actually own the games and as seen with stuff like the eshop or even with streaming services like stadia. These digital stores can be closed down at a moments notice and we can't do anything about it as consumers. With digital media we don't own the game we just own the ability to play it
We becomeing minecraft youtubers with this one
nah fortnnite
@@ShurikanBlade pearl peal watch me crank 90s
Nintendo is competition
Nintnedo is competition but not in the "High end gaming market". Sony has shown to be predatory in the past when they were ahead like denying cross play. While i do say Nintendo is competition they are not exactly "direct" competition. Theyre the switzerland of gaming as in they just do their own thing
Nintendo
true
Multi-what???
Multi-plat(form)
@@ShurikanBlade I DONT GET IT
@@ivyw5862 it means theyre gonna put their games on other consoles
#4DaysLateClubLmao
Let’s look at the (possible) bright side:
SIDE ORDER COMES OUT TMRW & ATTEMPT TO AVOID SPOILS HEHE HAHA
SIDE ORDERRRRRR
OH CRUMBS ITS OUT
I predict Gaming will enter into a creatively bankrupt period.
Their needs to be new IPs
Not endless sequels.
I agree, this is why indies have been getting so much commercial spotlight as of late. Even if companies dont want to risk new Ips AT LEAST bring back some dormant Ips so they feel fresh.
@@ShurikanBladeI agree, there are many Nintendo games/series what deserves to be brought back. They’d do very well imo.
@@michaelmanning3100 while i do agree i say out of all the companies Nintendo is def doing the best with their IPs. Companies like Capcom, Bandai, Square, Sega and even sony barely use even half of their rich catalog of IP and it sucks tbh
@@ShurikanBlade it does indeed I own a Xbox series S a Nintendo Switch and a PS5. I don’t have a PC since my internet is horrible and also I don’t rlly have the space for one either. I hope Nintendo transitions to the next console correctly as if they don’t it’s not gonna be good for them at all. But still as long as its backwards compatible to the switch and it’s got one or two exclusives at launch I’m buying it.
@@michaelmanning3100 yeah the next console launch for nintendo is such a pivotal moment that they can either get right or screw up really badly and I think they realize how hard it'll be to capture most of the switch audience on their successor.

I do think we ar emoving onto a new future but i dont think we will reach that future yet. I also believe that Sony is losing money is cuz they put so much faith into PS5 but didnt accomdate for how long it takes to produce games. Look at nintnedo for example: they released more switch exclusives year one than sony has in 5 years.
Dude pls no i hate that sony monopoly anime pls not gaming too
BRO FR, NOW THAT SONY IS CLOSING FUNIMATION ITS ACTUALLY SO OVER FOR US
1:18 Boy thinks steam fills a niche and "doesn't have much insentive to branch out because it is perfectly satisfied being in its own bubble". Boy, you think steam could branch out on what? It's literally PC gaming. It's not a niche and there's nothing to branch out to. Do you even know how the app works and what it is for gaming? Niche is not a word for steam. I can understand you never played a game on PC, but I cannot understand not knowing ANYTHING about it when wanting to publish a video on youtube on gaming.
You even mention that steam is harder to use and that you actually need experience in order to set it up and use it. You don't need to build your own PC to play PC games, buy a prebuilt. There, problem solved. I refuse to believe that someone needs special experience to download steam, come on, this is ridiculous!
Sometimes I think people don't understand all gaming is basically PC gaming. Consolles are not some magic hardware that nobody knows how they're made. They're literally PCs running different OS.
I play pc games first of all. Im 100% not an expert but in the grand scheme they are niche. Youre assuming that niche only means "small" but it can also mean specialized. Why would i call the current 3rd best selling console in the world "niche"? It wouldnt make sense to.
PC is harder to use because even if you buy prebuilt it is most like more expensive and you actively have to worry about things like having the right specs for a game, overheating, maintenance and more. While with a console, its a spceialized PC made purely for gaming. Its designed to play the games made for it and not much else. All those miscellaneous worries are non existent on console. So yes, it is harder to use on a "relative" level.
Xbox was never selling well outside the usa anyway
true but the vidieo game crash did happen in the US exclusively but also its not just about xbox its also about how it affects Sony whihc is the bigger issue
This is already disproven.. Xbox are not going 3rd party.
i know i meant to get the video out sooner but i couldnt but i think its still a valid concern for a potential future
@@ShurikanBlade No, you are just spreading misinformation.
@@ShurikanBlade Just like blockbuster… physical gaming media is becoming irrelevant. Most of us don’t even use DVD or Blu-ray players anymore. It’s all streamed. In 50 years, I can imagine consoles will be a thing of the past. Xbox is just reading the writing in the wall and Sony is stuck to their old ways. Which ever company navigates this change will gain the largest market share and we will see how this plays out.
PC has been almost all digital for years…
@@ShadowDemonSB no im not because I never said this was fact and I actively said in the opening line that it was simply a rumor. The pinned comment also says its disproven.
@@ShadowDemonSB there is still a lot of value in physical media because people are starting to cherish actual ownership of the products rather than digital convenience. I do believe that we will slowly enter an all digital era but look how much backlash things like eshop closing or look at things like stadia closing.
it's a big nothing burger. indies will take over if microsoft fails anyway.
indies will take over on a software level but they will still be at the mercy of the manufactureres being Sony, Nintendo or Steam. They simply do not compete at a similar level yet
@@ShurikanBlade i guess it depends on what u mean by at the same level, if you look at games like enshrouded, valheim, 7 days to die or project zomboid, these are indie games that bring a lot more than many AAA games in terms of content. of course not all have the same graphical polish, but gameplay wise they are a lot better.
@@kalfaxplays7899 by same level i mean that indies will never be hardware owners and will always have to be put on a platform. You can make high quality games at or even better quality than AAA games but if lets say the revenue split isnt worth it for the indies then less games will be made by them
@@ShurikanBlade there are plenty of games that have their own websites, a game like salem the crafting mmo comes to mind, but usually they make a bigger profit on steam due to the amount of players there.
right now the revenue split on steam is 70%, where steam gets 30% which is fairly good considering the large market you get access to. pretty good for indie's i'd say.
@@kalfaxplays7899 it is a good split but om saying that if steam were to charge more then theres minimal indies could do in their current state
We need SEGA to come back to making consoles this is the only way, SEGA hold so many titles with a lot of potentiel that can be match for Sony
I really believe that Sega going multiplat hurt the industry more than people think. Not only are they one of the biggest ip holders in the industry but they also have diverse IPs that rival both Sony and Nintendo
Yeah they should never have quit from the indusrty , I think if they will do a new console it will be a banger and sell a lot with title like Golden Axe, Streets Of Rage ,Nights into Dreams, Crazy Taxi, Jet Set Radio, A new Sonic game and much more, and they also the Persona and Yakuza Series that will sell the consoles like candys.@@ShurikanBlade
@@sonic1shadow1silver they have so many IP that could work but entering the console market is difficult now and probably not worth it for them. I just wish they AT LEAST didnt abandon most of their legacy IPs
games will end up being made by AI sack all the workers and use AI games are generic now anyway i stopped buying games at the end of ps4 might buy gt6 and ps5 pro only game that might be ground breaking
Honestly with all the closures and mass lay offs AI games are possible and its scary. I do think GTA6 will genuinely be the only real next gen game of this era and thats worrying.
the resources needed to make a game now are insane if they could develop the idea that dreams came up with and people could make their own games there would be a massive improvement in originality and no cost@@ShurikanBlade
@@vickitreloar7797 yeah especially with some games costing more than movies to make. luckily we still have talented indie devs and hopefully more rise up
Sony already going down hill with there games with woke crap just have to look at spider man bit of god of war but that was still good and last of us. Wokeness is all over Sony now
I wouldnt say its all "woke" but i would say that the games are very sim ilar to each other and not very innovative. Theyre all behind the should 3rd person action games
stop buying consoles they suck buy a pc and stop wasting your money.
but how am i gonna play mario 96 without a switch
