    Are Sony and Microsoft just trying to shift the blame back and forth between themselves lately?

        tbh though Nintendo would be fine without exclusive 3rd party games a la MHRise. Just 1st party and second party games a la Bayonetta 2/3 wouldn’t shift the tides all that much.

        I think people would be less upset about Microsoft and Sony exclusives if they were simply maintaining decades old flagship series, rather than fighting over new titles. Nobody cares about Mario being a Nintendo exclusive because Mario has always been an Nintendo exclusive. The XBox and the Playstation don’t have anywhere near so strong an association between the console and specific characters and series.

      And then you have Valve, who was offered the 10 year Call of Duty contract like the other platform holders and cloud services were and they were like “nah bro, we believe you. we also don’t care.”

      Basically. The lengthy court battles currently being waged in the US and UK basically means that a lot of dirty laundry is being aired.
