It's a good thing you're not in charge of Sony, then.
Microsoft trying to buy third parties is a big deal, and we know their lies about not making everything exclusive are lies after their acquisition of Bethesda. You might not care much for Call of Duty, but it's literally the biggest third-party franchise in existence and competed with Pokemon in terms of sales figures. Microsoft suddenly turning it exclusive is the kind of move that decides the console generation winner by itself.
Sony has to protest it. Jim Ryan would be shit at his job if he didn't. And that's just COD. The acquisition would give them all of Activision's other franchises, as well as Blizzard's. So that's Diablo, Warcraft, Overwatch, Spyro, Crash Bandicoot, Tony Hawk, and more.
There's no way regulators are going to allow it to go through. It's too big a merger and would give Microsoft a defacto monopoly on the market.

Of course more options but there's always people who want hardware. As good as cloud can be it's nowhere a main source of gaming
All the options ms gives and the series consoles have sold better than any xbox to date in the period they been out

It's funny. I'm scrolling through Reddit while watching FritangaPlays talk about the merger and I see this post. Was half expecting some salt but this is a reasonable take. Sony should focus on all those shelved 1st party titles they have. I would love a new Gravity Rush or Sly Cooper, LBP, hell even a better Knack (second one was pretty fun if I remember right).
I have both consoles so I don't care at this point but it is nuts to see Jim Ryan trying so hard to keep CoD when they have so many other titles that aren't on Xbox and some that will never come to PC (losing hope about Bloodborne, RIP). It's like he doesn't have trust in his brand or something which is not a good look for a CEO.
Oh well. Makes for some good content.

Probably, but I would not be surprise if there wasn't or if it was actually a cloud console(like the one that is coming but was postponed).

The tutorials need to find easier combos to perform then.

It's understandable where Sony is coming from to a point but then they lost the plot
Thing is Sony hasn't changed their business when others did they need to adapt better. Why they are complaining it's not about losing cod but losing the bottom line revenue from Activision
They pumped a lot of money getting deals and receiving money back to fund themselves for the exclusives. They have content in every other game just to PS
This needs to stop and just focus on themselves first. All the money to block games just use your own studios in the first place

You don't care about CoD, but the franchise is huge, and a lot of people would choose to stay with CoD over PS exclusives.
I don't care about CoD either, but this is a weak take. Just look at how much Microsoft has been trashing themselves trying to convince regulators the acquisition wouldn't affect Sony.

its for balancing, and it goes much deeper than that in terms of gameplay in a fighting game.

Microsoft can't beat Sony in console business, so it aims to selling games business. I think they have pretty different business plans and I would not even be surprised if we don't see another Xbox, but will see PS6. MS clearly has it's eyes on cloud gaming and Sony don't care about that.
Playstation is too strong brand for Microsoft. Sony should just do what it does best and I bet both of them will be fine.

Parasite Eve is on there twice, I guess it deserves to be though.
Gravity Rush is on there twice too, though idk about it.
I'd like another Shining Force, in the same style as Neo/EXA, another Grandia would be nice as well.

I agree. SR combat did play like a proto souls-like.

Of course, I am talking about the future.
And we know that selling consoles is a bad business. The money consoles make comes from other sources than selling the actual console. I think this is why MS already flirts with cloud, but Xcloud is pretty bad and years away from actually working product. GeForce Now is great techwise, but it has a lousy library which MS now makes much better.
But yeah, I agree that consoles are not going away in near future.
