Nah, they'll still somehow limp their way into the next generation because Sony is trying to one up MSFT in bad decisions.
If they just sat back and did nothing, then it'd would definitely be over lol.
Sony will announce the anti-piracy barbed rectal probe to fuck you in real time.
The next generation is the problem. With the component pricing being stupid up they're having to put off releasing the new consoles. They're raising the prices on existing hardware just to match the component crunch, so they're not getting the mid-late generation bump of people buying the hardware once it's come down in price, and the people willing to buy new hardware an a high price already bought this generation's comsole.
Xbox bled money buying studios for gamepass, then failed to get casual people subscribed to gamepass, but the hardware people who bought new $70 games a couple times a month started spending way less money on Xbox due to Gamepass because of all the day 1 releases. And the Series S held back everything by being wildly underpowered.
Meanwhile Sony burned billions betting on live service failures back to back to back (Microsoft did this too, but to a lesser degree).
And now their "new console generation" parachute/reset is fucked due to hardware costs. They know they can't make an even halfway decent "next-gen" console under $1000, so now they've burned mountains of money and don't really have a plan going forward. And now they're amputating limbs to create the illusion of cost-cutting.
Imagine your job being making games, and finding a way to ruin that. Both of the big console teams have shit the bed simultaneously. Truly awe inspiring, the collective dipshettery we get to witness.
Good thing popcorn is cheap as I need more of it to watch them constantly doing stupid things.
None of it really matters to be because I am never going to buy a console anyway, largely because of shit like this. I'll just enjoy watching.
