They really cornered themselves between Xbox losing out to PlayStation, and GFWL losing out to Steam. The original vision of putting a computer in every living room was never really given the proper planning and execution.
It's because Microsoft's definition of "innovating" is "buy out or rip off the competition". They couldn't do that in the console space, and while they managed a pretty good job with the OG XBox and the 360, after that it was just one faceplant after another.

MS could have, had they not grown so egotistical and have all their heads up their own asses.
I bet on the wrong horse, even if this horse has backwards compatibility with OG Xbox and 360 games.

But I could have had the console with every Soulsborne game in one console. Because Bloodborne and Demon's Souls are still a Sony Exclusive and they ain't giving it up

Don't worry. I've been informed the PS5 has no games. You aren't missing out on anything.

Unfortunately yes, but you shall not be judged nor mocked for it. If it's an consolation, a 360 or ONE X are better values than a Series X.

Series X didn't do me wrong as is. Just no Sony Exclusive games

Some of those aren't out yet, and others aren't exclusive.

I know some of these are on PC, but they're not on XBOX, Switch, nor Switch 2, so they still count. Also, doesn't matter some of them aren't out yet. They're still coming to PS5 and not the other two or three competing consoles.

Xbox never really had a chance.

At first it kinda sounded like they meant, all of them, ever released. As in, combined. It seems like every PS console has outsold every Xbox console anyways. Even PS3 thanks to the ten year lifecycle.

Reminds me of one of my first posts on these forums (more than 10 years ago now fuck), I was so confused as to why the console "war" was a thing when I literally didn't know anyone who owned an Xbox (and this was high school too, so everyone had some sort of console). I guess that's just how big the American market is.

Poor Xbox. They rode high during the 360 era but it’s all been downhill since. And always due to unforced errors.

Even that was only because they rushed it to market and covered up the hardware issues until they were too prevalent to ignore.
